Evolutionism vs. Creationism
How was the world created, was it instantaneously, a couple of days or, millions of years? There are two main theories Evolution and Creationism. Creationism is split into two subsections; Old earth and Young earth. They both conclude that god is the reason why animals, plants, and objects are the way are now. Young earth is the belief that you are to take Genesis 1:1 literally. Old earth is split into three sub sections; Day-Age, Gap theory, and Progressive.
The Day-Age theory is a way for Theistic evolutionists to combine the Bible and evolutionist ideas. Gap theory is where there was an amount of time between Genesis 1 and 2. The progressive theory is that the world was created in individual sections. Intelligent …show more content…
“Given the abundant evidence supporting the theory of biological evolution, it is highly probable that evolution has occurred and is still occurring today. However, there remains speculation in regards to the specific evolutionary path of some species lines and the relative importance of the different natural processes responsible for their evolution.”(Dennis O’Neil, Early theories of evolution, Genetic changes over generations.). There is also geographical distribution of similar species. Around the world you can find similar species fossilized. Some species such as mice, rabbits, and mosquitos reproduce quickly. So there is a higher chance that there will be mutation. That mutation if it is useful will be passed on to the next …show more content…
Dendrochronology supports old earth. Probably the greatest piece of old earth evidence is the Cambrian explosion. The Progressive theory is based on a lot of individual creations by God over a span of time. Fossil records have shown small physical changes in a species body. This shows that we could have come from even the smallest of life forms. If God created us like this then his periods of time he called days, would have been actually long periods of time. Since there was no sun yet how would you actually mark time, or is time something humans use as a way to govern their days.
Gap theory is the theory that there was a long span of time between Genesis 1 and 2. The Day-Age theory is that the days in Genesis 1 are actually long periods of time. “Physical evidence supporting creation would include both physical evidence that directly supports creation and physical evidence that refutes biological macroevolution. This statement is true because either life evolved via a random natural process or life was created by an intelligent designer who we refer to as God.”(Physical Evidence Supporting Creation.
