• Micro-Evolution – Variation of the Species or adaptation
• Macro-Evolution – Life began billions of years ago with simple single-cell creatures brewed in a gooey soup and then developed through mutation and natural selection into the vast array of plant and animal life that populate the planet.

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our
likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the

Basically the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics says
that in any system, energy moves from order to disorder. Things tend to break down into the less-complicated rather
than increase in complexity.
