| 1. |
T F |
A quote from the evolutionist, Isaac Asimov, reveals that scientists face the problem of explaining the suddenness with which life appreared on earth. |
| 2. |
T F |
Biochemical processes that keep organisms alive are known in complex detail, but the vital spark that initiates life awaits precise definition, according to Oakland. |
| 3. |
T F |
The lesson supports the evidence presented in the Smithsonian Institute showing that carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen combine to form a living cell. |
| 4. |
T F |
According to Oakland, the idea that molecules can become cells is nothing more than science fiction. |
| 5. |
T F |
The "Dino Bird" that appeared on the cover of National Geographic was actually a combination of a reptile and a bird discovered by a Chinese farmer. |
| 6. |
T F |
Charles Darwin's study of the finches in the Galapagos Islands supports the evolutionary theory that vertical change occurs genetically through time. |
| 7. |
T F |
The probability of a protein molecule being formulated spontaneously by chance is as impossible as a person finding a winning lottery ticket on the sidewalk every week for a thousand years in a row. |
| 8. |
T F |
The findings from studies which observed the variations of finches, beetles, and moths all support the creationist view rather than document the evolutionary process. |
| 9. |
T F |
Vertical variations in the progression of life over a period of time is often referred to as micro-evolution. |
| 10. |
T F |
The evolutionary proclamation is that human beings are related to fish with backbones and that there are countless examples in the fossil records on display in museums. |

Multiple Choice |
||
| 11. | What famous experiment is often used to support the idea that life has arisen from non-life? | |
| A | Darwin's Galapagos Islands experiment | |
| B | The Stanley Miller experiment | |
| C | The Hubert Yockey experiment | |
| D | The Immanuel Reddy experiment | |
| 12. | Which of the following statements represent a common denominator that the evolutionary worldview assumes as factual. | |
| A | Life originated from non-life by chance | |
| B | Non-life spontaneously became life without a Designer-Creator | |
| C | Organic molecules came together to form living cells | |
| D | All of the above | |
| 13. | According to the lesson, which of the following describes the law of biology or biogenesis? | |
| A | Variations of life occur vertically within genetic boundaries | |
| B | Observable lifecycles show the appearance of variation within genetic boundaries | |
| C | Life must come from pre-existing life without variation | |
| D | Variations of life occur horizontally within genetic boundaries | |
| 14. | The Cambrian layer is one of the oldest layers of earth's history. What importance does this lesson emphasize regarding this geological discovery? | |
| A | The Cambrian layer contains fossil record of complex creatures without any trace of previous ancestors which gives credibility to the creationist view | |
| B | The Cambrian strata of rocks contains evidence of single-celled organisms becoming multi-cellular organisms, lending credibility to the evolutionist view | |
| C | The Cambrian geological period supports the sudden appearance of multiple-cellular creatures coming from single-cell creatures encouraged by an increase of oxygen in the seas | |
| D | The Cambrian explosion reveals the greatest burst of animal evolution the planet has ever known and fossil formations highlight its detail in this strata | |
| 15. | What significant factor is taught in this lesson about the discovery of a living Coelacanth in 1938? | |
| A | It verified that they have not been extinct for seventy million years as previously believed | |
| B | It discredited it's value as an index fossil used to date the layers of the earth | |
| C | It disproved the theory that Coelacnth was a missing link between fish and amphibian | |
| D | All of the above | |
| 16. | Theoretically, Archaeopteryx is an example of which of the following? | |
| A | A fish that evolved into a reptile | |
| B | A reptile that evolved into a bird | |
| C | A reptile that evolved into a mammal | |
| D | None of the above | |
| 17 | What does Oakland specifically say is wrong with artistic illustrations being used as evidence to support evolution? | |
| A | An artistic rendering of a proto-type can be biased | |
| B | An artist cannot accurately portray something that he did not personally see | |
| C | Artwork cannot verify assumptions made by evolutionist theories | |
| D | Even photographic art is not reliable because it can be altered or enhanced | |
| 18. | Which of the following is NOT supported by the Darwinian tree of life, as taught in this lesson? | |
| A | Non-life progressed into a mother-cell which developed into all life forms | |
| B | Human life evolved from a single amoeba over millions of years | |
| C | Through hundreds of millions of years life progressed vertically from simple to complex | |
| D | Perpetration of life occurs only through natural selection within the same kind of life forms | |
| 19. | What did Immanuel Reddy demonstrate to the world? | |
| A | That it is impossible for life to come spontaneously from non-life | |
| B | That non-living materials can assemble to become life | |
| C | That garbage will eventually turn into maggots and flies | |
| D | None of the above | |
| 20. | Which of the following describes the horizontal process of change which is often referred to as micro-evolution? | |
| A | A reptilian creature through time becoming a mammalian | |
| B | A single-cell organism becoming a multi-cellular creature | |
| C | A series of beetles with different color variations | |
| D | A fish becoming an amphibian | |
