Thousands of websites and books exist for the sole purpose of proving or disproving religion. The ringleader on the side of proving religion is no doubt the Bible. Scientists and cosmologists constantly lead the way in proving there are sources that are more reliable than a sole creator. The Big Bang Theory is the idea of how the universe came to be, starting from one single particle and growing over the next 13.8 billion years to what the cosmos is today (Howell). Unlike the aspect of religion, models and mathematical theory often provide proof of the Big Bang Theory (Howell). Although many tend to disagree with proven facts, the Big Bang Theory lays the foundation for how human beings were created. Scientific theory provides credibility

Morris). Controversy to those beliefs, scientists have estimated that the earth is the same age as the sun and the rest of the planets in the solar system, which are over 4.5 billion years old (Cain). Scientist have come to this conclusion using theory’s and methods from finding the age of old rocks, some even as old as 4.2 billion years old (Cain). The bible lacks the evidence to support how rocks found beneath the surface of the Earth could be older then Earth itself. At some point in Earths early life, a planetoid crashed into it and formed what we call the Moon (Cain). All these findings come together to support the idea of The Big Bang forming the universe and bringing together the solar system including Earth. The accurate method of calculating the Earths age is by using radiometric dating; this process reads the radioactivity of various materials and substances (Cain). Although the oldest rock found on Earth is just over 4 billion years old, scientists agree that the Earth is as old as the Solar System as they were both formed 4.54 billion years ago from a diffuse cloud of hydrogen (Cain). Biblical documents all suggest slightly different dates for the Earths age (J. Morris). On average coming to the conclusion of the Earth being just over 6000 years old, on occasion some sources state the Earth is between 5000 and 15000 years old; without any explanation to how …show more content…
Developed by a geologist by the name of Charles Darwin, evolution and the process of natural selection is constantly debated regarding whether it should be taught alongside other ideas such as creationism or intelligent design (Than). Natural selection is the process by which organisms change over time based on heritable physical or behavioral traits (Than). Color and size could be the simplest change over the course of a few generations caused by natural selection, also known as microevolution (Than). One topic regarding evolution and natural selection was the idea of how a whale survived on land (Than). The smoking gun appeared in 1994 in the remains of a fossilized animal known as swimming-walking whale (Than). This animal could swim through water, and clumsily walk on land, easily being able to develop into the whale of today (Than). Creationism on the other hand supports three basic forms: scientific, biblical and scientific biblical. Each form providing a different idea of creationism, but all forms come together to support the idea of a supernatural creator and not the idea of natural selection by evolution (H. Morris). Biblical creation supports the Earth coming to life in a six-day process of creation followed by Earth history overflowed by Noah’s Flood (H. Morris). Scientific creation is the idea of the universe coming together from a supernatural creator, also canceling out evolution with
