The Origin of Man
How did life begin? Where did humans come from? The origin of man is a mystery of the universe, however, there is a long-lasting battle raging between the Christian belief and scientists. Christians believe God created Adam and Eve six thousand years ago, and that all the humans, animals, plants of the world began at that time. This theory is called creationism, and their evidence is everything written in the Bible. However, scientists believe in the theory of evolution. They believe organisms change over time as a result allowing it to adapt to its environment better. This helps it survive and have more offspring, which leads to the development of humans from apes. Scientists has proven evolution by fossil, anatomical, and molecular records. While both Christians and scientists have their theories, creationism is based on beliefs, whereas evolution is based on facts and data, therefore it’s more accurate.
Creationism is the belief that the universe and living organisms originate from specific acts of divine creation. As stated in the Old Testament of the Bible:

While both provide details, creationism is based more on beliefs and faith, whereas, evolution is based on data and facts. Creationism is based on the fact that life was created suddenly, and how humans and apes were created separately. However, one problem with creationism is where did God come from? Evolution is based on the fact that life emerged from non-life via naturalistic processes, and evolved into what we are now. Although evidence does not provide a clear image of evolution, progress is being made. Even though the puzzle is not done yet, we can see the overall picture of how humans

    “Old-Earth” creationist affirm that the Earth is very old, and that the use of “day” in the Bible actually identifies an age or geological epoch instead of a 24-hour period of time (Bailey 5).

Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory often creates conflicts with religious teachings in particular, Christianity; many Christians disagree with Darwin’s theory that “man is not the most supreme creature on earth, but humans just evolved from a single cell over long periods of time.” Faith is intangible; it could simply be a belief. Christianity is just a belief, which is the same as Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory, since both of them cannot be proven; which means nobody is wrong, therefore we should be open minded to learn from them that way we could learn more about the world.…

    The Bible says that God created the world and all the life in it over a period of six days which would mean that God’s time is different than human time. Creationists admit that it is possible that animals and plants modify to be better adapted to their environment, but the diversity of all living species have not come from a common ancestor. Some people also might argue that Darwin’s idea of natural selection is just a theory and that scientists cannot prove it because there are no direct, observable experiments that a scientist can recreate to test evolutionary events that occurred in the past. Creationists have also proposed the idea that all the changes that occur in plants and animals come from existing genetic information. The organism that people believe humans evolved from, possibly apes, could not have had the genetic information needed to become humans.…
