POST ASSESSMENT

Introduction

Many who belong to the present generation have accepted that man is an
incidental product of nature, that he came into being simply by chance and not by divine
design. The human race is regarded as a mere species, one class among millions that
inhabit the earth. It is the way it is simply because it triumphed over its natural enemies
and successfully adapted to its environment.
This line of thinking is rarely questioned nowadays, even by those who call
themselves ‘educated’. But the mark of true learned is his ability to think through an idea
and open it to questions. Is it true? What makes it so? What are its loopholes? What
would happen if people embrace this idea and spread it? How will it affect the way they
think and behave?
This lesson will guide you into a path of investigation that will enable you to
identify two opposing views about the origin of life. In the end, after a thorough scrutiny,

PRE-ASSESSMENT

Direction: Read the following piece carefully.

THE MISSING LINK

(Adapted)

Three monkeys sat beside a coconut tree,

Discussing things as they’re said to be.
Said one to the other, now listen you two,
There’s certain rumor that can’t be true!

That man descended from our noble race

The very idea! It’s a dire disgrace.
No monkey has ever deserted his wife
Starved his baby, ruined his life.

And you have never known a mother

“monk”
To leave her baby with other to bunk.
Or pass them from one to another
Till they hardly know who their mother is.

And another thing you will never see

A monkey builds a fence around a banana tree

And let the bananas go to waste

Forbidding all other monkeys to taste.
Why if I put a fence around this tree
Starvation would force you to steal from me.
Here’s another thing a monkey won’t do
Go out all night and get drunk on brew
Or use a club, a gun, a knife

To take some other monkey’s life

So in conclusion….
If man has descended like they say he has
Certainly didn’t descend from us!

Signed,
One Little Monkey

To start with our module, lets have an activity: Come and Discover

Direction: Read the following statements carefully and decide and CHECK which ones
you think are true. Indicate your response by checking the appropriate column
in the table below.
ABSOLUTEL MAYBE
STATEMENT FALSE
Y TRUE TRUE
1. All life originated from a super explosion.
This mega blast happened some 12 to 15
billion years ago. From then on, everything
in the universe became increasingly
complex.
2. As living things were born, they took on a
form different from their parents. Over a
long period of time, the changes became
more apparent. This process had gone on
from generation to generation and it had
produced all groups of plants and animals
that have ever lived.
3. Life covers our earth in many different
forms. There are thousands of creatures,
great and small on our planet, from germs
to man. Each species reproduces after its
own kind.
4. All living things are related through the
ancestors that they have in common.
Humans or apes, for example, descended
through millions of years, from the same
kind of animals.
5. Whales came from ancestors that lived on
land and had four legs. When they took
living in the sea, they used their four legs,
which eventually shriveled away.
6. Giraffes once had short necks. In order to
reach leaves from higher branches of
trees, they had to stretch their necks,
which eventually increased in length. This
characteristic was passed on to their
offspring.
7. The Lord God caused the earth and
everything in it (sun, moon. Stars, sky,
earth, sea, plants, animals, etc.) to come
into being by means of direct command.
He formed man from the dust of the
