“Evolution is supported by an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence.” At least, that’s what a first-year biology textbook said, citing natural selection in soapberry bugs as the first example of such evidence. Let’s apply the 7 Checks of Critical Thinking to see whether this claim is true.
Textbooks often call antibiotic-resistant bacteria prime “evidence for evolution.” Based on a real textbook example, let’s use Critical Thinking Checks #1-5 to look at what’s really going on in the observational science of bacteria resistance. There’s a lot more to the story than what many textbo...

Do creatures with similar-looking features share the same evolutionary ancestor? Textbooks often say so, but let’s see how to think critically and biblically about such arguments.
