Document Summary

Consciousness: nature becoming aware of itself, god and nature are coextensive, a process because the divine expresses itself through the process of evolution, nature evolves. Extensions of divine becoming more aware of itself. Everything is moving forward: no present, no future, just now, every moment is new a fresh, just like god. God is constantly unfolding himself in his creations and nature. All of creation is contained in god. Monotheistic and abrahamic view of protestantism: god is superior to creation. Deep ecology and protestantism: every aspect as value in the world, god and evolution fit well, process theology is protestant"s philosophy that mirrors deep ecology. Protestant was a reform movement, reformed catholicism: you never finish reforming, always more to learn and gain, reform views to fit environment, nature is sacred because it is a manifestation of the divine, everything has value. Some things are valued more than others. Humans are privileged and have more value than other animals.

Many pathogenic bacteria species are becoming resistant

to antibiotics. Explain how such adaptations can develop

through the process of natural selection. (

Hint:

Relate

this example to the conditions that are necessary for nat-

ural selection to occur.)

Question 1

Evolutionary algorithms are used:

In engineering, to arrive at solutions by going through many permutations of possible solutions and allowing them to evolve.

A genetic feature of complex organisms.

A process undergone by the human brain, which is similar to evolution by natural selection.

Another term used for a computer algorithm in general.

Question 2

Human literature and languages can be studied using methods similar to those used for constructing phylogenies because:

There is no other way of studying these things.

Languages evolve roughly along the lines of species, with mutations (changes in words and pronunciation), descent with modification (languages becoming more different along the way), and branching of languages (languages giving rise to other languages that are similar to them).

Because literature and languages are constructed by organisms (human beings), so what applies to one must apply to the other.

Languages undergo a process of word swapping, which is analogous to horizontal gene transfer.

Question 3

The degree to which horizontal gene transfer occurs in eukaryotes is:

Something upon which the entire validity of evolutionary biology hinges.

A mystery that may or may not disprove evolution, but we simply don't know enough about it at this point.

Something that would overthrow the notion that this phenomenon is important in bacteria.

An interesting and potentially important aspect of biology with relevance for how evolution occurs, but not something that would call it into question one way or the other.

Question 4

Learning about the history of scientific theories and the reasons for why they are initially accepted or rejected is important mostly because:

It makes for exciting story telling, and this is very much needed to get people interested in science.

It teaches us about the process of science as it actually occurs, which is somewhat different to the idealized notion of a purely objective undertaking.

It tells us which theories are definitely true or false.

It tells us that science is actually a totally subjective process that tries to present itself as objective. In reality, personal subjective factors are the only relevant factors that really matter in science.
