1. Why do you think a large number of people resist the theory of evolution by natural selection? What is it about Darwin's theory that makes you feel comfortable or uncomfortable? Be sure to elaborate on your reaction (pro or con).
The first time I have hear about human create is my culture told me that we are all created by a goddess called nvwa by mud , she used yellow clay to mould out a men and gave it a breath so the man comes alive .Then as a christian the god father said we are created by god and our ancestors are Adam and Eva. Later on I went to school ,I learned natural selection by Darwin and I personal believe in the theory of evolution by natural selection since the theory make more sense. Some people might not accept the theory of natural selection maybe because they feel wried of being same as monkey or letting a gorilla to be the ancestor.It's more comfortable to say that "I was created by God."than "I was evolved by monkey." Darwin's theory make me feel safe and comfortable , I believe it because first the theory is taught at school ,it's on the exam .Second Darwin has evidence of the natural selection ,it make more sense on the logically way but the goddess of nvwa is more like a myth that ancient time people don't know how can they exist so they choose to made up a story to create a faith (I am not negating my culture..).I still respect those people believe in their own human-create theory ,I think it also related to culture and environment that individual grows in.
2. What do you think cannot be explained by evolution?
Why only the mammal are evolved to the human ? But not other species like mermaid that lives under water? Since we are all human by natural selection ,why can't we be immortal once the perfect human appear . Are we being evolved in a good way science the technology develop so fast nowadays ?I think these question can not be explained by evolution.
3. Provide three examples of eliminative materialism and how it works. You can draw from your own life.
Eliminative materialism believe that everything is produce by physic ,so as your mind and thoughts are produce by the brain 's chemical reaction. The theory consider human mind and though as an illusion or the misunderstanding of the truth .One can not understand the problem because how you think about it itself is wrong.Therefore to understanding itself can be eliminative .One example in my life is feeling scared after watching movies, although I knew the movie is not real so as my emotion of fear is an result of chemical reaction of my brain ,I still can not control it .
