Scientists have claimed that mutation and evolution have saved the lives of many Hawaii crickets. Let’s be honest, Evolution is a very controversial subject. Many people believe it, and many people do not believe it. However, let us take a look at how some scientists say the lives of Hawaii crickets were saved because of it.
WHAT MUTATION IS
Basically, a mutation is a natural process that changes the sequence of DNA. They can affect several aspects in genes. They can alter the products of the gene and they can prevent the gene from functioning properly or at all. Sometimes, however, they actually do not affect the gene at all.
SCIENTISTS CLAIM HAWAII CRICKETS EVOLVED
This is where things get a little tricky. One study actually stated that from the late 1990’s until 2003, 20 crickets evolved to prevent them from making their chirping sound. Then, a biologist and science writer actually stated that mutation and evolution saved the lives of many Hawaii crickets. This is because the mutation of these crickets makes it harder for predators to find them and eat them. This does make mating a little more complicated, though.
EVOLUTION IS OPINION NOT FACT
For people who state that Evolution is a fact, I ignore them. This is where this article could stir up some emotions. I do not believe in Evolution and my sole belief is in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This means that I completely disagree with everything that was said from these scientists. I was raised in the church and truly believe that we were not just evolved from a single cell organism. Instead, God created the world and all of her beauties. You do not believe me, then go read The Bible. I also do not believe in having an open mind about this either. There is no middle ground, you either believe it or you do not.
EVOLUTION IS A CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC
Mutation and Evolution are very controversial topics. I am sure that I just sparked up some emotion with this article. Besides maybe politics, I can not think of another topic as controversial as religion. Many arguments have been said on both sides of the table and the arguments will never stop. It is difficult to change one’s mind with this topic because many people are very closed minded about it.
