While an open and honest debate is always a good thing, most of the time, when people are pointing out “problems” in evolution, their qualms arise from a misunderstanding of what evolution actually is and how the mechanisms of evolution actually function.

Below are some of the most common misconceptions (or questions) in evolution and how science answers these concerns. Q1.) How does evolution explain the origins of life? A.) This question, and variations of it, is one of the most common things that people turn to when trying to refute evolution—It can’t reliably predict how life first originated. In truth, evolution doesn’t explain anything about how life originated. Is this a problem with evolution? How life originated is something completely different, called abiogenesis. Q2.) A.) This is, perhaps, the most well-known, as it is easily observed and demonstrated. In short, the organism is more “fit” for survival; this idea of “fitness” is central to natural selection. Q3.)

It’s a question that Google officials have clearly thought a lot about, said Joseph Lorenzo Hall, chief technologist at the Center for Democracy & Technology, who was briefed on the lens before the company’s Thursday announcement. Hall said that Google assured him that the data would not be added to the company’s banks of personal information gathered from other services. “The data will never hit Google’s servers,” he said. “That’s a forward-thinking affirmative claim that they’re making. That is important.” The soft contact lens that Google is unveiling — it’s still a prototype — houses a sensor that measures the glucose levels in tears.

Given the sensitive nature of the data, Hall said, Google has also said it will make sure any data transferred from the lens cannot be manipulated — something that could have potentially fatal consequences if patients inject the wrong amount of insulin. “One thing I do worry about is mobile security itself.
