2.List and explain the three reasons that Gould and other scientists can feel 'confident' that evolution occurred.
3.How does Gould feel about Scientific Creationists, and what does he suggest be done by scientists? What do you think about his perspective?
4. there are six big events in human evolution. Which of these do you feel is the most significant and why?
5. What are your thoughts on the compatibility of science and religion? Is there any way to make religion more scientific, or science more spiritual? if so, would that be a good idea? What is the future of this debate or conflict, in your opinion? Any comments/feedback/critiques on the two video clips in module 1?
