PHI 2010 QUIZZES 2024 LATEST QUESTIONS WITH ALL PASSED ANSWERS!! What's wrong with the claim that evolution is "only a theory"? Select one: a. Evolutionary theory provides an alternative explanation to the argument from design (teleological argument). b. Evolution is a very well -confirmed theory. c. Evolution is a theory in a trivial sense. d. Evolution is not a theory, but a hypothesis. e. Evolutionary theory was proposed by Darwin over 150 years ago. (correct answer) The correct answer is: Evolution is a very well -confirmed theory. If we suppose that the parts of the watch had to have some form, and that the watch was just one possible combination of those parts, Paley argues that, still, the fact that the watch is here and has the particular structure and function it has readily ind icates that it was designed, even though it is true that the parts could have been combined differently. Select one: True False (correct answer) The correct answer is 'True'. Which of the following statements describe claims that Paley does NOT discuss in assessing the watch analogy? Select one: a. The watch is found to replicate itself. b. The watch might have come to exist because of an inherent principle of order in nature. c. The watch is found to operate via an internal power source. d. The watch is found to be qualitatively identical to another watch. e. Both c. and d. (correct answer) The correct answer is: Both c. and d. Recall that Paley supposes that, if the watch can replicate, this would surely increase our wonder and admiration for its design. This raises the idea that the present watch was made by a previous watch, and that one by a previous watch, and so on.Paley ar gues that if the present watch (call it W) was made by a previous watch (call it W2), then although W was not made directly by the watchmaker, we should still infer that a watchmaker was employed in the production at some point. Select one: True False (correct answer) The correct answer is 'True'. What image best captures the essence of evolution, according to "Big Thinkers on Evolution"? Select one: a. The DNA molecule. b. An image of a virus. c. The image of creatures transitioning from walking on four legs to walking upright on two legs. d. The image of earth from space. e. An image of young Darwin compared to a picture of old Darwin. (correct answer) The correct answer is: The image of earth from space. How does Paley respond to the possibility that the watch arose because all its parts exemplify an inherent, natural principle of order, which disposes the parts "into their present form and situation"? Select one: a. We don't know what a principle of order is other than one assigned by an intelligent designer. b. It is possible that an inherent, natural principle of order brought the watch into existence, but this is improbable. c. It is not possible that an inherent, natural principle of order brought the watch into existence. d. We've known watches to be made this way. (correct answer) The correct answer is: We don't know what a principle of order is other than one assigned by an intelligent designer.The benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
