2319 Words5 Pages

Evolution is the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth. “Dictionary.com” The first person to supposedly “discover” evolution was Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin was a naturalist. He spent most of his time studying the environment. Most naturalists of his time believed that animals came into existence around the same time the earth did but Darwin believed otherwise. Darwin that believed because the appearance of animals changed depending on their location, they had slowly evolved from other basic animals. He believe that the animals survived due to a process called” natural selection”.

This idea states that only the animals that adapt to the changes of the environment will survive while those who cannot evolve or adapt, will become extinct. In 1859, Darwin introduced the theory of evolution in a letter that was read at a meeting of the Linnean society. On November 24, 1859 Darwin published a book called “On the Origin of Species” which elaborates on Darwin’s thoughts and ideas about evolution. http://darwin-online.org.uk/

Ultraviolet radiation is a type of energy, usually heat or light, that travels through space. The natural source of UV rays come from the sun, but it came be produced artificially through lamps and laser beams. http://science.hq.nasa.gov/kids/imagers/ems/uv.html Gamma rays are the strongest form of radiation. This is why nuclear rays are very dangerous. Gamma rays destroy human and animal tissue and cause harmful mutations. When there is a high amount of gamma rays present, it will kill any, if not all, life forms in a small amount of time. Gamma rays are a type of pure energy. They can be discovered j...

... all the organic molecules would be destroyed before they could be completely made. Scientists claim that there was no oxygen at the time but the issue with this is that if there was no oxygen also known as the ozone way back then there would be no protection from the sun’s harmful rays (gamma rays, ultraviolet rays and infrared light). All these lights are harmful to living organisms, ultraviolet rays being the worst.

There are several reasons why evolution is classified as a theory but the main reason is because it has never been proven. For over 200 years scientist have been trying to prove evolution and have not come close. They have tried using fossils, DNA ,every and anything to try and prove evolution. People have even tried mixing the bible with evolution, which is a very sad and pitiful thing to do http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-misconceptions.html
