"for his Theory of Evolution" (1301)‚ which according to Hally‚ proves "where we come from and what it all means" (1301). Sam totally disagrees with Darwin’s "Theory of Evolution" (1301) because evolution is in contrast to the Bible’s teaching on Creationism‚ and he says that just because it is in a book it "does not mean [he’s] got to believe it" (1301). Sam believes that "Jesus Christ" (1302) was "a man of magnitude" (1300). Hally is obviously against Sam’s suggestion of Jesus Christ‚ because Hally

Cassini Target: F-ring Since ancient times‚ man has pondered over the great enigma about how our universe was formed.

Scientific theories must have testable predictions. Predictions are made based on observations and then experiments can be done to test the theoretical predictions. The experiments will either verify or falsify the predictions made. Here we are going to discuss the hypotheses of phyletic gradualism and punctuated equilibrium. The pattern of evolution can be described as happening gradually‚ over time‚ as in the hypothesis of phyletic gradualism or by punctuated equilibrium. In the theory of

Another thing I significantly observed is that Neil does not ‘avoid’ the creationism theory. He evaluates the theory and explains why evolution is a more-conceivable theory. Cosmos is like a pushback against faith’s encroachments on the intellectual terrain of science. Neil explicitly says that “Evolution is a fact.” Though evolution
