Argumentative Essay: Friend, Evolution

The second reason why evolution is false is that there is little evidence of transitional fossils in the fossil record. Even Darwin and other scientists have admitted the lack of evidence and fossils. For example, Stephen M. Stanley, an evolutionist, has made comments about this: “In fact, the fossil record does not convincingly document a single transition from one species to another” (Snyder, 44 Reasons Why Evolution Is Just A Fairy Tale For Adults). If evolution has happened, and is still in process today, then the world would be filled with species that are transitioning into another, instead, there are none alive today. To add to this, no human has ever witnessed macroevolution, so therefore, there is little proof and no possible record

When it comes to Evolution I do not really have an opinion. I am not very religious. I do believe ‘something’ is out there, but there is not enough evidence for me to believe in one thing or another. I have read articles that seem to prove an idea of Evolution to me; Charles Darwin’s theories, but I am still not completely certain. I need to see or feel real evidence. I cannot trust or completely believe in something by just reading an article.

Another reason evolution should not be taught in schools is that it disclaims scientific laws that are already established as being true. John Morris who earned his Doctorate in Geological Engineering from the University of Oklahoma and is the current president of the ICR; stated in his article titled, Should the Public Schools Teach Creation that, “evolution flies in the face of established scientific law, including the second law of thermodynamics, the law of cause and effect, and the law of biogenesis, as well as not being harmonious with observed data. Fossil gaps are real, there are limits on genetic variability, favorable mutations are essentially non-existent, etc” (John Morris). The first scientific law the quote talks about is the Second Law of

A way we know evolution is real, is by looking at the bones of the creature. If you look at the bones of many creatures like us humans, monkeys, bats, and even whales. We all have the same bone structures. We all have the same amount of bones on the hands, fins, and wings. This leads to the theory that we might have had a common ancestor.

There is proof of this evolution all around us. Man itself has evolved over thousands and thousands of years in direct relation to the changing environment surrounding them. There are facts and proof to back up the theory of evolution, but that does not mean that it is the only way that explains development of living things.

Evolution theory is not true because it gives a vague explanation of how the world developed to be what it is today and it also fails to explain why it is no longer going on today. As absurd as it is there are people in the world today who believe it majority of them being atheist.

The foundation for the theory of evolution was laid by Charles Darwin (Rose, n.d.). He developed hypotheses about natural selection which helped scientists develop the theory. Evolution is a theory and not a hypothesis because evolution has been proven by vast amounts of scientific data, research, and testing. The definition of a hypothesis is an educated explanation that needs to be researched and tested but has not yet been proven (Earman, 1984). There has been no scientific evidence to disprove the theory of evolution.

Evolution takes time, really long time in fact. It is too long for we human to witness the process of any evolution. However, we cannot tell that evolution is not happening

only reliable dating system is the Word of God (Lovan 1). Many others believe that humans have

Many people will tell you that in whatever faith you believe in you cannot deny that evolution is real. The reality is it isn’t. The general understanding of evolution is that it is change that occurs over time. Dr. Randy Guliuzza is here to say otherwise, saying, “skilled evolutionists will try to define evolution as simply ‘change’ or ‘change over time.’ If that is all there was too evolution, there would be no arguments and no reasons to doubt the bible.” At this point you are probably slightly shocked that someone would argue that what pretty much everyone was taught isn’t true, but he has a really good point; he is not using a slippery definition of it, he is using a reputable source called the National Association of Biology Teachers. In 2008 they stated that “the diversity of life on earth is the outcome of biological evolution.” From this, Dr. Guliuzza interprets evolution to be “a process that explains the origin for the diversity of life on earth.” We haven’t even gotten into the controversial part yet but I would at least like to get some of these definitions right so we are on the same

I completely believe in evolution, my Dad always answered my questions with a well thought out answer, but my Mom would always quote the Bible. When I was young I would ask my dad what his perspective was on Christianity, he said that when he was young, his family would go to church, they would pray, and go to Bible studies, however, he did not think about evolution and Christianity in general until he was in college. My mom, on the other hand, was raised believe in Christianity, she is the reason that I go to Rehoboth. My views are different from both of my parents, I think that we need evidence to prove anything, we cannot believe in an old book that was written by copious amounts of people. In science there needs to be proof for a hypothesis to be considered real, in other words, if I were to say that the earth was a black hole, I would need proof or evidence, that is clearly not true. I have absolutely no evidence to concur that the earth is a black hole, although we do have clear evidence of evolution. A vestigial organ is an exceptional example of evolution and adaptation. We as humans have numerous vestigial organs, one of the most well known vestigial organ is our goose bumps. These bumps were once used to make ourselves appear larger when we were frightened. Also, they were once used to maintain a constant core body temperature by trapping a layer of air in between our skin and hair.

Evolution can not be proven by scientists because the process take way too long. Scientitsts estimated the time required to transmute one kind of organism to a more advanced kind is millions of years. No team of scientists are able to make that measurement. ( Morris 5)

In 1895 Charles Darwin published a book describing his theory of evolution, and his theory of the natural selection process. This theory caused much uproar in the religious community because Darwin’s theory went against the story of creation portrayed in the Holy Bible. His theory claimed that all life currently in place had evolved and adapted from a single organism in the beginning. Over time and by process of natural selection only the dominant species were left over while the other, less dominant species, went extinct. His theory, backed by scientific analysis, had dismissed the idea of a single deity creating all life on Earth. It is not like Darwin had a personal agenda against religion or anything,

Evolutionist, Charles Darwin (1809-1882), provided the suggestion that people where “less highly evolved or developed than other” and that some humans were more like their “ape-like ancestors than others in traits, abilities, and dispositions” (Bohm & Vogel, 2011, p. 27). Darwin’s theory of evolution gained credence in positivist theory, particularly with philosopher Auguste Comte (Kalfus, 2010). Darwin’s ideas assisted with the explanation of the criminal behavior involved in evolutionary theories, which Comte later utilized to propose the brand of scientific philosophy known as Positivism (Kalfus, 2010). Positivists believe that the world is governed by natural law, so if man discovered these laws, man would have also discovered evolution

According to the Pew Research Center, about 62% of Americans believe that humans have evolved. Of that number, 33% believe that evolution was completely natural. Only 25% of Americans believe that evolution was guided with the help of God. 34% of Americans do not believe in evolution at all. Bill Nye once said, “Denial of evolution is unique only to the United States.” Many Christians believe that they are sinning if they believe that creatures have naturally evolved, what they do not realize is that it is perfectly fine to be a Christian who believes that something was put here and the somehow a human was placed on Earth. Also some Christians believe that everything but humans have evolved which is a little strange.
