The Evolution Debate: The Discovery of Truth
“I see nothing in the theory of evolution inconsistent with an Almighty Creator and Protector.”- John Henry Newman. The evolution debate has gone on for years and shows no signs of surceasing. Many different views have been provided on how humans have appeared on Earth. Some of the most conspicuous include the theory of Evolution and that of Creation.
Evolution is the process by which living organisms are thought to have developed from earlier forms during Earth’s history. It is a theory and has not been proved a scientific law yet. However, many other theories have turned out true such as the theory of atomic structure. As Richard Dawkins said “Evolution is just a theory? Well, so is gravity and …show more content…
Creationism is the belief that the Universe and all Life on Earth has come from divine creation. Creationists believe that the Earth is merely 6,000 years old. For many Creationism is abstruse because many significant questions have been raised to disprove it. For example, if Noah’s Ark was real, how could a 500 foot long wooden boat hold eight zookeepers and 14,000 animals? Also, how could these animals and people stay alive with every plant underwater for a year? Evolution states that there is no evidence whatsoever of this in a fossil record. In a fossil record of the rock layers of the Grand Canyon, no animal tracks crossed over another animal’s tracks in the same period of time. If a flood had overcome the Earth, the decision by many animals would be to try to swim to avoid drowning. There is no evidence of that in the rock record of the Grand Canyon.
A point made by Creationism is that scientists can be Creationists. Creationists insist that there are many different types of science. In his debate against Bill Nye, Ken Ham insists that we have stereotyped science into being all about the scientific method and …show more content…
What is science? The origin of the word comes from…Latin which means “to know”. The dictionary will tell you that science is the state of knowing and knowledge. But there's different types of knowledge….There is experimental or observational science… that's using the scientific method of observation, measurement, and experiment and testing. That's what produces our technology: computers, spacecraft, jet planes, smoke detectors, DNA, antibiotics, medicines and vaccines…All scientists…have the same observational or experimental science…. Molecules-to-man evolution belief has nothing to do with developing technology. When we’re talking about origins, we’re talking about the past; we weren’t there; we can't observe that… When you are talking about the past, we like to call it origins-or historical-science. When you research science textbooks being used in public schools, what we have found is this: the origins, or historical science is based on man's ideas about the past. For example, the ideas of Darwin. And our research has found that public school textbooks are using the word “science” for observational science and historical science; they… define science as naturalism….They present molecules-to-man evolution as fact. They are imposing the religion of naturalism/atheism on generations of students”.
The Creationists have made another valid point: People have taken to seeing historical and observational science as one and that
