the universe and life originated “from specific acts of divine creation” (“Creation Tips”). But, how can that be true when you have physical evidence such as Fossils, DNA, and natural selection? In theory, evolution is a more logical and believable argument than creationism because evidence such as fossils, DNA, and natural selection can support the theory much better than a book that has been translated into different languages. Evolution can be seen in almost every living thing,…

The strongest and most important organisms do not survive over the generations. Although evolution occurs due to fitness in an individual or individuals of a species, an organism cannot survive over generations. Fitness is achieved through variations in populations of species through genetic differentiation (Scottville “n.d.”). Since the life cycle of all living…

Preface In the preface of the book, Charles Darwin explains the progression of the theory of descent with modification and the conception of natural selection up until his time period of the 1850’s. He begins by stating the major opinion of the people was that species were all separate beings of which were created individually and that this concept had been ingrained into common thought by many authors.

who manage to survive. Few thinkers have had the impact that succeeded Charles Darwin. His theory of evolution was so powerful and compelling that it became the new orthodoxy, affecting how we think about many aspects of our life.
