Reflection on Lecture

Dr. Louise Mead from the National Center for Science Education came to Mr.Olson's sixth period class and told us about Evolution and Creationism. Evolution is the change in species over time. Creationism is the belief that God created the world and all living things. Personally, I do not believe in evolution, although it is very interesting. Evidence for evolution is found in biogeography, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, fossil record, and developmental biology. A fact that I found interesting was that humans have 46 chromosomes instead of 48 like monkeys and gorillas because some chromosomes fused together over time. This lecture was very riveting, and I gained a lot of knowledge.
