Is Evolution Fact Or Fiction?

            In the lab this week we had the opportunity to research and observe sculls from animals and humans. This was a great chance to put the scientific method into use. The question proposed to us was what process is responsible for the origin of humans. That gave us a starting point to look at and begin our research. We received pictures of the sculls and decided to record observations of what we found by means of measurements.
             The results from the measurements were as some might have anticipated the older the bone the larger the jaw size. The older the scull the smaller the brain capacity was in our findings. These were findings that were taken and comprised by the whole class to provide more evidence and reproduction to the experiment to provide more belief in the testing process. Also, in this lab we found out that animals and humans have more characteristics with each other than I had thought. This probably should not have surprised me, but I did not know that chimps or other creatures that are created have such similarities with each other.
             In the readings provided by Dr. Lung they make us look at evolution and creation and compare the two. This is something that takes a non-biased approach. With taking a different approach to creation and looking at evidence in this lab I am a believer that this earth has a purpose and evolution may be part of that purpose. This lab was to help us look at the similarities and differences among the different sculls and make hypothesis then form a prediction and proceed to make observations. The observations just proved the prediction right and that was a good feeling. We predicted that the older the scull the larger the jaw size and the proved to be the case.
             This lab helped me to decipher the difference between observation and interpretation. When you observe you are just taking in what you see; and when you interpret you take the data and make conclusions based upon the information you observed.
