The concepts of natural selection and evolution are organized key principle that helps biologists to understand and interpret the world.

The theory of evolution and concepts of natural selection are so important in science because they are one of the mostorganized keyprinciples that explainthe capability of an organism to live and survive in highly specified ecological niches and the diversity in species.

However, the theory of evolutionand concepts of natural selection are so strongly opposed by the religious groups. Christians believed thatamong all the creatures of God, humans are the superior one. The soul of humansis immortal, as god had created humans in own image. The Bible says humans were created on the sixth day of creation. The other religious groupsbelieve that God is the designer of the universe and the evidence of this is the complexity, order and beauty of the universe.

Discussion Question: Glacial (or Ice) and Periglacial Landscapes A+ The Ice and Glaciers chapter focuses on the Cryosphere, the ice on our planet. I always find it interesting to consider the Earth's Hydrologic Cycle, our water in all of the different phases: solid ice, liquid water, and water vapor (a gas). In place number one for the majority of the World's water, we have the oceans. In place number two, we have ice. Neither one is available to us for drinking water at this point. Amazingly enough, in place number three is groundwater before lakes and streams. Water has led to many problems in the history of California, the United States, and even the world.
