T. rex teeth found in a fossil graveyard are which kind of fossil?

• carbonized fossil

• mineralized fossil

• original material

• trace fossil

Why do evolutionists and creationists view the history of change in living things differently?

• Creationists believe in changes only in the present, not changes in the past.

• Evolutionists believe in changes only in the past, not changes in the present.

• Living things have not changed in the present or in the past.

• Evolutionists and Creationists start with different worldviews.

Darwin's explanation for the theory of natural selection includes all the following except:

• that individuals in a species compete for the things needed to survive.

• that mutations cause new traits to be formed in a population.

• that some individuals have traits that make them better to compete.

• that with each new generation, the traits that better allow survival become more common.

Which of the following illustrate(s) problems with the methods of dating rocks?

• It is quite common for absolute dating methods to yield ages that are known to be incorrect.

• Carbon-14 has been found in fossils considered millions of years old, showing the fossils to be much younger.

• Both A and B

• Neither A or B

Which of the following present(s) a problem for evolutionists attempting to use homologous structures to prove ancestry?

• A common designer could also be responsible for the homologous structures that we observe.

• Animals do not have homologous structures

• both A and B

• neither A or B

How do creationist view mutations?
