Creation Vs. Evolution

others believe that different species can arise from existing species but the original species were put into being in a supernatural way” (55). Some think the creation event happened very recently, within historical times thousands of millions of years before present day. It should be emphasized that amongst the scientific community it really is only a tiny potion who consider a

What is now called science, emerged around 4 centuries ago. The hard work of scientists brought new ways of interpreting the world. They no longer relied on the deliberate word of God. The scientific revolution put individual curiosity, inquiry, reason, and experiments above religion. Throughout the Renaissance, the increased advancements in science forced the Catholic church to execute “rebellious” researchers who opposed their religious views. When scientists were sentenced to death they were charged by the church for denying the divinity of Jesus Christ and questioning the church’s authority. The 19th century, also known as the Age of Reason, had brought many new great minds who challenged Christianity, forcing the church to step down. Great thinkers such as Darwin removed the argument for God’s main existence. All making science the biggest challenge Christianity will ever have to face. If this ongoing revolution of science

Since the beginning of the human race there has been a lingering question as to the origins of man and how all living things acquired their characteristics. The two main theories that arose over time were Creationism and Evolution, both of which provided very distinct answers to this question. Creationism based its answer on the idea of a supernatural power or being that created the entire universe, man and the numerous other organisms that live within it. While, Evolution theorizes that all living things have the potential to change and grow over time into something new and different. So in other words, one theory suggests that humans and all the organisms on Earth are the result of divine design, while the other indicates that they

Where do we come from? The creation of the world has been told through many different stories, and from a variety of religions across the world. The argument between evolution and creation has been debated back and forth for years. So how do we know which claim is correct? Has all life evolved from simple bacteria to all the species that appear today, or did life on earth begin with God's creation of Adam from dust and his partner Eve from adam’s rib bone. As a child I grew up attending church every Sunday with my grandparents, attending bible school, and taught the ways of the Lord. I wouldn’t know any different until my eyes were opened in biology class where the theory of Evolution is justified. There are different explanations to

In Genesis one and two, it provides a full understanding of God’s creations and wisdom of human nature because it is free from evil. Human nature is revealed from Genesis one with God creating the Earth and the Heavens and creating the man of his likeness. The Bible explains how God created Adam, from dust and was placed in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:7). The Bible explains humanity was created to work and serve (Genesis 2:15). Subsequently, Eve was created; “God had created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). Adam and Eve would help God because He wanted them to multiply the Earth by taking care of all of his creation (Hiles & Smith, 2014). God is the sovereign ruler, he created humanity as how he should have wanted. The Bible explains about human nature that God created everything to be distinct from animals and all of His creation. God created us in his own image, which is why we all look different; we are unique in His eyes. Also, God created us to be good because we are born innocent of all evil and loving of God. In addition, we were all born pure as Adam and Eve were. The Bible explains that God was pleased with his creations, “God saw that it was good” (Genesis 1:10-21).

He does consider us more valuable (Matthew 6:26, ASV) because he created us in his image, meaning he wants us to be more like him. Therefore, we are held to different standards which is why God placed humans over all living things such as animals (Genesis 1:26). Due to this, we are to treat them with tender love and care.

In the video, they used the example of an embryo turning to a human being. This process is the most beautiful and magical process I have ever seen. Personally, being able to have children is the number one testimony that there is a wonderful God, who allow miracles to

However, the order in which everything was created is different. This can insinuate the importance of those creations to God. In the first story, humankind was created last and man and woman were created at the same time.

And livestock. He then created human beings in his own image. He gave them dominion over all of the creatures in the waters and sky, as well as all of the animals. He also tells humans that he has given them all of the plants and the trees for food. After creating everything, God, recognizes verbally, that they are good. This shows readers that God is a good God. The second chapter of Genesis is very similar in that all of the same things are created. When God created man Genesis chapter two states that “He breathed the breath of life into Man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.” (Genesis 2:7). God put man into the Garden of Eden.Here in the Garden of Eden is the first mention of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God states that man can eat from any tree except that specific one. Genesis 2 also states that man was made to work the land, proving that work was not a consequence of sin. God also created woman from man when he realized that man was not fit to be alone. He tells them to reproduce, this proves that sex was not intended to be shameful, rather a gift to be cherished when done within a covenant. This is how the earth and everything on it came into existence according to the

Due to the "highly subjective nature of most scientific theorizing... [we should] let the Bible speak for itself and modify our scientific view of origins accordingly." (as cited in Downey, D., & Porter, S., 2009).

The young earth creationists view is the most viable theory. Most evidence that has been found points to a world-wide cataclysm, Noah’s Flood, that formed a great majority of the fossils and fossil fuels that we see today. Most evidence shows that modern creatures lived in the same time frame as “prehistoric” creatures. No transitory forms have been found that point to supposed evolution by graduated mutation. These create fallacies in the modern argument of evolution that I cannot find a way to definitively

Then we come to “The mixing of evolution and theology sometimes results in a theory called theistic evolution. The theory posits that through the process of evolution, God gradually developed life forms until finally they became human beings.” (Zinke, 2014) Theistic evolution is the proposition that God is in charge of the biological process. That God instructs the revealing of life and matter over a time span of millions of years.

Evolution has been debated for many years. Most scientists assume evolution to be true, but it is not officially proven. Evolution is known as “fact and theory,” because it is a fact that organisms have changed over time, but the mechanism that changes those organisms is uncertain. One of the major debates regarding evolution is the belief in creationism. Creationists believe that the Universe and organisms on Earth were all created by a divine power. There are also some theories in which creationism and evolution coexist. One idea is that the divine being who created the world used evolution as a method. Another idea is that science and religion are actually the same thing and religion explains the unknown parts of science. For example, science says that the world couldn’t have been created in seven days, but one of God’s days may not be the same length

The debate between creation and evolution has been around for a long time. For much of it, it has presented a choice between the two. Some claim that you either believe in God or evolution, not both. Others, that you have to choose young earth creationism simply because theistic evolution is not a viable option. Still more present young earth creationism as a naive understanding of both the Bible and science. However, since each position has evidence in support of it and against it, it is in no way true that any of them present us with an undeniable position of definite accuracy. Furthermore, the idea that there is only a choice between creation and evolution is false. Indeed, there are more positions than even creationism and theistic
