Epigenetics, Darwin's Finches, & Natural Selection (Classroom Series)
3 views
Do Darwin's Finches prove evolution by adaptation and natural selection, or do they demonstrate Creation with Continuous Environmental Tracking? Do epigenetic mechanisms control finch beak and feet shapes and sizes?

- What did you just say disproves evolution? Mice, lizards, and finches, of course. Well, I'm not sure what you mean.
- 00:07
- Evolution is driven by nature selecting the fittest creatures to survive and reproduce, passing on their favorable traits while the others die out.
- 00:16
- Well, how does that happen, professor? Well, mutations and natural selection. But research is now showing that creatures are pre -programmed to adapt to their environments in just a few generations.
- 00:25
- You see, their survivability is not just dependent on random chance, but it's because they're created to do so. And here's where the finches come in, okay?
- 00:31
- Darwin believed that different shapes and sizes of finch feet and beaks, depending on their different islands, were showing evolution, right?
- 00:38
- But this is where epigenetics comes in, okay? So, mice. They can grow different vertebrae depending on if they're in the forest or in the prairie.
- 00:46
- Lizards can grow longer legs depending on their location. You see, this isn't just some random act of chance.
