1.) Why is the theory of evolution so important in understanding how human beings behave?
The theory of evolution can help people to understand many questions about human beings. At first, the theory of evolution point out where all species come from. Before people know about genes, the theory pointed out human beings may not be designed directly by God. Human beings are evolving gradually from wild men and monkeys, and all creations come from a same ancestor because creations relate to each other. Nowadays this thought has been proved. In the book, Darwin 101, the author said that people found “an ancient common ancestor—a worm-like animal from which most of the world's animals evolved—had a set of "master" genes to grow appendages, such as legs, arms, claws, fins, and antennas”(167). Secondly, the theory of evolution told people that sexual selection, genetic mutation, and natural selection decide why we exist here. No one knows how many species become extinct in the past because it is hard to survive on the earth. A creation may lose a chance to pass down its genes to its offspring because of a wrong decision. Now the characteristics that creations are carrying are selected over and over again. Even illusion and day dream, which seem to be useless actually are helping people to survive. For example, people’s brain simulates a fake circumstance for people to practice in their mind. As a result, when people confront with a real situation, people can make a decision quickly and calmly. And a person who is better at imagining will be easier to survive because he/she will be more cautious about his/her imaging enemy than other people. The love and moral sensitivity are also the production of natural selection since people live in families and communities. The bone among people increases the possibility of surviving because people need other’s help to survive.It is the reason why people care about their origin and why people usually ask why, too. In Darwin 101, the author said that,” Asking "why" is consciousness' pivot foot. It allows for a virtual simulator to turn and think of varying options and what they portend. It allows the mind to revolve and go into different directions.”(193).
2.) Which questions do you think evolutionary theory cannot answer?
As we know, DNA carries genes, which are genetic information that will pass down to offspring, but not all the components of DNA are genes. Why these parts of DNA that do not provide any information exit in our bodies? Secondly, the evolutionary theory thinks the whole characteristics of creations are the production of evolution, and it helps creations to survive. However, why genetic mutation, which is untested and risky exits? Does genetic mutation happen on purpose, so the creation can have a better chance to survive because the system tracks some potential danger? If this is just a mistake or an occasional accident, but when the creation at a safe and perfect situation, what is pushing the genes to mutate? Thirdly, in the book, Darwin 101, the author also said that to become a fossil is very difficult. It depends on environment. At some special periods, the environment does not provide a good situation for organisms to become fossils; as a result, people cannot check out what happen in those periods and are lack of evidences to prove evolution. Furthermore, why are human beings are so different from other animals? What is the crisis for human beings to become unique specie when all creations on the earth have a same ancestor? Moreover, what is the origin of all creation on the earth? What is that? When does begin? And how does it happen?
