The Importance Of Creation Vs. Evolution

Great Essays
Though their decision ultimately relies on faith many creationist/evolutionist support their

beliefs with facts. There are billions of people in the world which means billions of opinions and

motives. Considering this it is very hard to find the truth about anything much less an argument which

so many people feel so strongly about. All this results more times then not, in false evidence or

evidence which was tainted by an emotion. Finding the truth to whether the earth was created or

evolved is very important to every human because it is the foundation on which you base your whole

worldview.

Both creationist and evolutionist are wrong in several areas. Evolutionist for example try to use

whale evolution as a model for evolution

The fruit fly for example can have a

mutation called antennapedia in which legs grow where the antenna should. Though this is not useful

for the fruit fly it shows that mutations can make a creator more complex.

The creation vs. evolution debate does not consist only of invalid evidence. Each has evidence

which makes it appear credible.

One of the pure evidences for creation is various facts supporting the young earth idea. The

erosion from nature would have ran the sea levels dry after 15 million years. Plus the magnetic field

has been decaying at 2.7 % over the past 1000 years which would make it impossible for the earth to be

over 10,000 years old. All natural elements produce helium. It would take less then 2 million years to

produce the amount of helium that we have not 3 billion.

The best evidence for evolution is the similarities in bone structure. Humans bats and birds all

have similar bones I their arms/wings. Though used in different uses. Humans use their arms for typing,

throwing objects and lifting elements. Birds and bats use their wings for flying. Though they are used

in different ways the bones vary slightly in shape. This may show a common ancestor which

Evolution is not a fact far from it. Evolution is a plausible theory which should be

researched by all. The creation and evolution argument should be debated and researched and taught as

such in all schools. Each needs a certain amount of faith in order to believe in them so each needs to be

examined by every human and every human has to decide which they believe.

Creation is not fact. Creation has scientific evidence which supports it but it is not observable

and testable which would make it fact. Creation though has stronger evidence then evolution

scientifically in some areas but the fact that if you are a creationist you also believe in a creator is not

the most scientifically credible evidence for some people. Because for it to be fact it has to be

observable and testable which God can be or can not be depending on who you ask. It all comes down

to whether you believe that it would be more believable that the earth and all that dwells on the earth

came about by creation and decide to believe that God is the key to this argument. Believing in God

makes all the evidence for creation make sense to creationist. But to evolutionist who do not believe

    From Lucretius, Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci, to Darwin, Smith and Lamarck, many Philosophers, artists, and scientists have produced theories of evolution in attempts to explain the living and non-living creatures around them. ‘Charles Darwin’s grandfather, Erasmus Darwin…”a British physician and poet… proposed that life had changed over time.” “The possibility of common descent based on changes undergone by animals during development…”Evolution is a fact, the theory of evolution explains how evolution works. Although, the theories of Creationism and Darwinism will always have their separate supporters, and most will never change sides no matter what evidence comes to light.

    Creation science is a pseudoscience because it disregards scientific evidence that contradicts it and provides illogical explanations to prove their argument. To begin with, the evolution model counter argues all of the creation model’s seven aspects with its seven aspects. In the evolution model’s perspective, the universe, solar system, and life were created by natural processes, mutations and natural selection bring different kinds of complex organisms from its predecessors’ simpler forms, men and apes share a common ancestor, earth’s geological features change, or remain the same, from its slow, gradual processes with infrequent catastrophic events, and earth and living organisms exist a long time ago. There is scientific evidence to prove…

The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on the original creation of the earth from an old-earth secularist view as well as the view from a young-earth creationist’s perspective. Ultimately, the intent is to highlight these opposing views in an attempt to provide a better understanding of their theories and/or beliefs.…

    The Scopes trial, often called the Monkey Trial, was, and still is one of the most controversial trials in our country's history. The trial addressed evolution which, under The Butler Act, was illegal to teach. A Tennessee teacher taught a high school class evolution from a chapter in a previously state-approved textbook, after being approached by an organization. The Scopes trial was definitely more than just a debate between evolution and creationism, and though it would be hard, you could believe in both.…

    Throughout history, education and what is taught to future generations has been a hot topic of debate. It should go without saying that preparing young children for the future, and how to operate in and become a functioning member of society should be paramount ideals when considering how to go about educating future generations. In recent history, there has been a sizable push to establish a specific viewpoint into public school curriculum—the science curriculum, to be more specific—around the nation. This viewpoint can be commonly referred to as Young-Earth Creationism, or creationism for short. This fundamentalist Christian viewpoint is a literal interpretation of the biblical account of creation, as written in the Book of Genesis.…

    The topic I chose to discuss in this essay is the Original Creation of the Earth. In this essay, I will discuss, compare and contrast the viewpoints of the Nebular Hypothesis vs. the six-day creation from the Old-Earth Secular View and Young-Earth Secular View. The Young Earth creationist believes that the Earth was created in the six-day creation and the old earth creationist believes that the Earth was created billions of years ago during the time of evolution of the Solar System. It’s really all about what one believes. Old-Earth Secular View…

    I believe that the anthropological evidence for revolution is the study of and scientific confirmation that there was living and non-living things slowing developing throughout the years through science. Some things may be proven to have existed through science by testing it, but not many. Creationists believe that God created heaven and earth. A couple of the creationist’s perspectives are that evolutionism is not an accurate scientific theory and they argue on the fact on whether or not evolutionism should be taught in public schools; they believe that all creations come from God.…

    Good God And Evil Essay

    • 9 Pages

    INTRODUCT ION The question of the existence of a good God and evil is by far the most important problem for philosophical, religious, and moral consideration. These two contradicting arguments have been postulated by many philosophers like Richard Dawkins, William Rowe…etc. Though the intrinsic presence of suffering is the most obvious feature that determines the character of the existence or non-existence of God, it is an empirical fact, and the truth or falsity of these facts can only be established by observations and experiments relating to the real world. It would seem that the best arguments against the nonexistence of God is based on the logical argument of evil in the world and the attributes of an all- powerful, all knowing and all good God.…

    However, I felt that Gould was little harsh to the creationist by his writing style and some choice of words but the constant adding of creationist views and explanation on the theory was needed to prove that there is more logic in the evolution theory over the religious belief. Everyone should believe in religion but not blindly that you start calling it science without no facts to support it. Religion and science should be kept away from each other and religion should be there to learn the values and traditions rather than questioning the existence of science because if it gets out of hand then one day it will put stop to all new discoveries made by scientist. Throughout his essay, Gould was trying to portray that, “We must infer them from results that still surround us: living and fossil organisms for evolution, documents and artifacts for human history”, which is spot-on because the world runs on proofs than on your opinions (Gould, 255). Gould’s presentation of evidences and his disagreement towards the creationist is very logical and written in a straightforward manner for the audience to know that there is more creditability of Darwin’s theory than the creationist…
