near future. - correct answer✔✔True! Fingerprints of human
activity, spread of an invasive species, Rapid change and global
climate, habitat destruction, Deforestation
What are three Worlds Views? - correct answer✔✔1. Natural
Evolution - Evolution by natural process

responded with 40 % true
True or False #3: Scientists believe in Evolution even though they
currently lack evidence for the theory. - correct answer✔✔False!
Based on know mechanisms: Natural Selection, Mutation, and
Genetic Drift
Key Point #2 - correct answer✔✔Biologists accept evolutionary
theory because its predictions match observations.

Temperature Anomaly - correct answer✔✔Deviation
Mean Anomaly - correct answer✔✔Standard Deviation
Key Point #3 - correct answer✔✔When something varies over
space and time, one must compare sufficient samples to quantify
effects accurately.
True or False #4: When calculating a normal temperature, one
should include as many years as possible. - correct

Creationism for a theory of evolution that better explained his
