Creation–evolution controversy

The modern day theory of evolution was created over many centuries of research by many different scientists, it has been changed and rewritten multiple different times up until now, but there may be even more changes in the future. All living organisms on Earth have a common ancestor known as the LUCA or Last Universal Common Ancestor. The LUCA lived around 3.8 billion years ago, although a study done in the last two years has found evidence of biotic life existing 4…

overwhelming evidence in favor of Darwinism. The first concern that sheds doubt on Creationism is its validity or lack thereof. The basis of Creationism doesn’t have any scientific facts to affirm it, which causes scholars like Akudo Ejelonu to articulate “creation by God or another divinity does not give concrete scientific explanation of life’s origin” (1). Firm believers of Creationism wish the subject be taught since they think it to be a viable explanation of how species progress over time…

Creation vs. Evolution Creation and evolution have always been argued head to head. Creationism and evolution, both cannot be proved scientifically yet. Creationism is common among people with a belief in God or another god/deity. They believe in the straightforward interpretation of the bible. Evolutionists though believe in what is the big bang theory which simply states that all things came from nothing. There are many other groups of people in these two major groups but they all have the…

Throughout United States history, the topic of evolution has been the center of a highly contested and controversial subject. Even when trying to define what evolution means, one is able to find many different definitions as well as opinions. However, for this paper, evolution will be defined as “Change from time in populations of living organisms; irreversible transformation in genetic compositions of populations” [Bolker (2017)]. The conversation of evolution has been around for hundreds of…

Darwin’s Theory of Evolution should not be taught as fact because it is as much a theory as any other theory. Teaching this theory as a fact creates a bias for young students. Forcing a personal opinion on them at such a young age hinders a student’s learning opportunity, as well as their learning ability. This takes away the chance for one to examine all the evidence and make their own decision based on fact. Darwin’s theory has many gaps in logic and should not be accepted as foolproof. Those…

Who would of know that the discovery of a small fragment of a human cranium parietal bone would be so controversial to the understanding of human evolution? Even though we had already found human ancestral remains that contributed to the thoughts of modern humans this new piece of the puzzle created a ripple not only in the way schools were taught but also the way humans saw religion. But it wasn’t till the connection between primates and humans that flipped the world upside down. This discovery…

In what extend, creationism and evolutionism create a controversy among experts? Evolutionism versus creationism are one of the most controversial topics in our modern world and because of that, there are several hypotheses about the origin of species, from the theory of evolution by Charles Darwin to the theory of the creator in the holy bible; these hypotheses can be view skeptically since there are a few areas of knowledge and ways of knowing that we can look at. Then, what…

Evolution is the theory of modern biology, concerning all biological areas, this theory has supported evidence and many scientists believe it to be truth. Creationist beliefs are not a scientific alternate interpretation to evolution. This is the reason why creationism should not become part of public school curriculums, first for the fact that it is illegal, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from establishing religion. Requiring that public schools are not to…

Evolution vs Religion For hundreds of years, religion and science have not gotten along well. Each, having their own view, they try to convince or say that the others view is wrong and that should not be taught. Hundreds of years ago, famous scientists have been tried by the church due to their beliefs, only because they do not agree with the church and go against the bible. Now, science is something that many believe in because there is prof of where the scientists ideas come from but even so,…

and wrong the education system is the battleground between ideas that strongly divide these United States. The theories of evolution and intelligent design are both yet theories and both are strongly supported and, simultaneously refuted by many; they uphold the roots of traditional religion and modern thinking, and are continuously heavily debated. The theories of evolution and intelligent design in public schools are the focal point between traditional and progressive views on theology…
