For decades, scientists have conducted research on all living things; to help us determine what life is, what life does, and why things live. During life, several miraculous things take place, and among those things is change. Change that can start a chain reaction over decades, centuries, even millenia. We call these changes evolution. There are, however, several doubts in the minds of people; most commonly, those people who believe in the words of the Bible. If evolution is a real thing, then how could those changes happen in the short time the Bible claims the Earth has been created for? Hasn’t God already made everything he wants in the world the way he wants it? Some critics even question how we could evolve from non-living things. How

To this, I invoke the ideas of carbon dating. Essentially, carbon dating is determining the age of something through the proportions of Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 it has. Some may argue that carbon dating isn’t always accurate, and this is true. Sometimes, carbon dating doesn’t give experimenters exact dates; in fact, scientists have to assume a lot about the date. However, I still maintain the fact that carbon dating is a highly practiced and constantly evolving science, and it still provides us with sometimes unspecific but constantly accurate …show more content…
While I agree that this seems impossible, I still maintain that evolution truly existed. Luckily, an article covers this argument quite well by providing evidence of a complex amino acid known as arginine, a crucial building block of life, could have existed. “What the researchers found was that arginine was a player in many of the chemical interactions between proteins and aptamers.” (U of C) Essentially, their experiments showed these scientists how these amino acids could have existed during prehistoric times, albeit most likely a primal or proto-version of its current form. This could have been one of the first building blocks of life that proves how evolution truly
