In our day and age, the debate on creation vs evolution is a debate that you will hear a lot in our society. Within my 15 years on this earth, there is a question which I continuously see popping up in my head. “What is the truth?”. The more and more I thought about this question, the harder it became to answer. I would over-think the whole concept, and start pondering ridiculous theories. And after all that thinking, I could never bring myself to come to an exact answer. They say seeing is believing. But in this case, seeing is beyond the bounds of possibility.

Evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations. After a population splits into smaller groups, these groups evolve independently and may eventually diversify into new species. The main central idea is that life has a history which has slowly adapted and developed over a long period of time. Although, saying this, there are actually several different types of Evolutionists--Naturalistic and Theistic. The naturalistic evolutionists believe that the world/universe began around 14 billion years ago and the earth is around 4.5 billion years old. Another type of evolutionist is called "deists". They believe that God created the universe, but then at some point he stopped creating and allowed natural processes to originate life and drive evolution. Compared to Evolution, Creation is on the complete opposite of the spectrum. Evolution is based on facts, whereas creation is typically based on the belief that life, the Earth, and the universe were created by a very famous supernatural being, who goes by the name of 'God'. This belief is also commonly known as Intelligent Creation. It may be shocking to learn, but a recent poll of the National Academy of Science found that 95% of biologists are either agnostic or atheists. In our day and age, Evolution is being taught as an unquestionable fact which is being used to explain the origin of life and the evolution of Man without …show more content…
Which to this day is known as Day and Night. In Genesis 1 God says, "And now we will make human beings; they will be like us and resemble us. They will have power over the fish, the birds and all the animals, domestic and wild, large and small." So, God created human beings, making them to be like himself. Thus, leading into the story of Adam and Eve who were offered the tree of life, but instead chose the tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil. Paul, the apostle, tried explaining that it was through the first man (Adam) that sin entered the world. The first book of the Bible shows the beginning of the universe and all its inhabitance. In chapters 1-2 of Genesis, in the opening verses, we are introduced God and how he is the creator. When God created the earth, we called it "Creation Week". And on the seventh day God ended His work and concluded his acts of creation by resting. The story of creation shows the supremacy of God's superior intelligence and power. He had control over everything he has
