  1. CONFIDENCE IN THE FACT OF EVOLUTION RESTS UPON THREE GREAT CLASSES OF INFORMATION – ACCORDING TO GOULD

  2. SMALL SCALE/ SHORT TERM CHANGES • CHANGES WE CAN SEE DURING A LIFETIME • DIRECTLY OBSERVABLE

  3. PESTICIDE RESISTANCE

  4. PEPPERED MOTH

  5. BACTERIA RESISTANCE TO ANTIBIOTICS • EX MERSA • METHACILLIN • RESISTANT • STAPHYLOCOCCUS • AUREUS

  6. ARTIFICIAL SELECTION

  7. TOLERANCE IN PLANTS AND ANIMALS

  8. DANDELION HEIGHT

  9. LARGE SCALE/LONG TERM CHANGES • CHANGES THAT TAKE PLACE OVER TENS OF THOUSANDS, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, MILLIONS, TENS OF MILLIONS, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS, AND BILLIONS OF YEARS • WE CANNOT POSSIBLE OBSERVE THESE CHANGES, BUT WE CAN INFER THEM FROM THE EVIDENCE
