چکیده
For example, evolution states that at one point in time, a strain of fish began encountering mutations in its DNA, which eventually (after many generations) gave its descendants the ability to breathe air and to move around on the earth. As a result, those mutations caused that strain of fish to become frogs. Similarly, at some later point in time, a strain of frogs began encountering mutations in its DNA, which eventually gave its descendants scaly skin and sharp teeth. Those mutations therefore caused those frogs to become lizards.

Most Oberlin students claim that the...
