One of the latest controversies originates in 1831 when Charles Darwin began his five-year voyage around the world and slowly made the discovery of natural selection. Which eventually led to the theory of evolution. Evolution directly contradicted the theory of creationism that the Bible had laid down centuries before. This debate is still ongoing, particularly in the United States. The modern debate is over the…
