@htcjunkie16 The new framework won't affect students taking the AP test this year. It is being added next year at the national level. I am going to use the same textbook but it will require me to jump around quite a bit. Hope that helps.
Hi Paul; So far you've helped me get through three levels of chemistry and this is the second bio class I've taken with help from your amazing videos. I've taken two other bio classes before finding you and the difference is like night and day. I can't thank you enough for creating and posting them for us, they where a staple in my college journey. I will finally graduate this year but have and will continue to recommend your vids to other students of science. Be well.
In the first tree you showed, there is a common ancestor between the southern and northern minke whale. How do you know the common ancestor is at the junction of the two and not at the original common ancestor shown in the tree? I'm not sure how you could decide that there was that intermediate step and they didn't both just evolve from the first common ancestor.
The data just doesn't agree with evolution, therefore there is no way, under any circumstances, that it could happen. For just one example.... We are told over and over and over that a new species shows evolution. Nope. Speciation (the creation of new species) does not support evolution as it is an example of stasis and stasis is the exact opposite of evolution. For ex. over 200,000 species of beetles are all still beetles. That's stasis. There are thousands upon thousands of species of birds, bees, lizards, trees, bacteria, trees, yeast, flowers, whatever. If a new species develops within any groups at all, you can bet your bottom science dollar that it will still be just a beetle, bee, bacteria, tree, fish, finch or whatever. That's stasis, not evolution. . We are supposed to fill in the blanks here with...faith...and think, "Well! If a new species develops then things just keep evolving and evolving from there on." But the next step above a species, in the animal or plant kingdom, is a family. (A genus is just a grouping of similar species together). We aren't seeing any new families - much less any new order, class, phylum or kingdom - forming. Anywhere. Ever. According to Darwin's so called Tree of Life and peer reviewed evolutionary literature, new families have evolved. Over and over and over. Not just new families are claimed, but also the creation of new orders, classes, phyla. . However, nature operates today as it did in the past. In the real world, with trillions of life forms around us, we never see anything developing above the level of a new species. Those life forms out there have purportedly had eons and eons of ancestors preceding them which should be revealing at least one example of a part this family "transitioning" to be a part that of another family. Again, we see stasis. . We only see "transitions" to those higher levels in the purely theoretical, unverifiable, ancient past, in the realm of evolutionary literature, and never in any life around us, in spite of the fact that the vast majority of life forms are micro organism that multiply at fantastic rates. If there is no evidence for transitions from one family to another - and posters should provide data if they know of any such evidence in the observable and not theoretical realm - then there is no evidence for evolution. It's that simple. And that's just for starters on how evolutionism defies real science. . Anyone: Kindly don't say some fossil provides the evidence. It is easy to point to a pile of petrified bones and make up stories about how its invsible and evidence- free descendants turned into some other life form. But if you insist, use a fossil. Name it. Then tell how you know it even had a descendant, much less one significantly different from it, much less one that crossed the family barrier. Name the family it is transitioning out of and the one it is transitioning into. . Or, here's another chance to support evolution with data. They say the two driving forces behind it are natural selection and beneficial mutations. Great. Name a life form. Tell what act of NS or what beneficial mutation is causing it to "evolve." Again, use real life forms. There are trillions out there. And we're told evolution is happening all the time. Remember, evolutionary poster kids like antibiotic resistant bacteria, walking stick bugs, some geckos, snowflake yeast, people with sickle cell anemia and so on show evolution is NOT happening. That's because they are all steadfastly staying bacteria, walking stick bugs, geckos, snowflake yeast and people. If not, what are they "evolving" into that doesn't fall into those categories? Cite your data, any evolution believer. . But no one does that. When evolution defending supporters on YT are asked to name a life form and then a mutation or act of NS that is causing it to evolve, they never do that. They may put down a glut of words, but there is no data in those words, whatsoever, provided for that request. When they are asked to name a life form that is moving from being more than just a new species into a new family (not to mention class, order or phylum), ditto. The most typical dodge seen to those questions is when they change the subject to something else. . And btw stasis is what the Bible predicts because it says creation of plants and animals has been halted. All we see now are those that multiply after their kind/family. . Anyone: You are not a goo through the zoo update. You have a Heavenly Father Who made you in HIS image and likeness. He loves you and wants you to know Him, and to love Him, too. If you are an atheist and evolution believer, if you are anyone at all, He wants you to be His child. Forever. I know I found that out myself when I was an atheist and evolution believer who had never looked outside the box.

"So, I hope that was helpful"
Yes, it was.
Hi
im sitting an exam on Animal evolution and biodiversity this Thurs and you have been so helpful. Thankyou.
So radical - Love your podcasts..

are the great Dane and the chiwawa the same species? would they not be seperated by the mechanical barrier?
this guy is awesome! thanks so much!
Thank you soooo Much!!!
Cool drawings--where is heckle's diagrams?
@bozemanbiology Ok, I will be taking AP Biology next year, so the same Campbell (56 Chapters) book will be fine?
Does the new curriculum follow the same Campbell, Reece textbook? Plz thumbs up so he can answer this.
Snails are so cute. So are slugs. Slugs spear like they Metamorphicly change into small wells.
Your so best.
No cool graph of stabilizing selection? XD
10:46 Don't you mean a Birdemic ;)
Biological molecules - you are what you eat, water - liquid awesome
7th grade?
The Testers I'm in 7th grade
yee, how ja do-n? the real question is are you wca?
Luna Canyonrose I go to WCA..
Luna Canyonrose I do too
Knew it...
God created all living things! Its that simple.
How did God form?
What if he didn't though? What if your not religious though? What if God isn't real though?!?!?!?!??!?? Jk, just hate the science...
I agree but he had to do it someway. Right? Who's to say the way science says it happens isn't the way God designed it to happen?
The data just doesn't agree with evolution, therefore there is no way, under any circumstances, that it could happen. For just one example....
