Secularism Vs Creationism

The principle idea behind creationism is that the origin of natural objects is supernatural. As an example, the Christian tradition is that the land, sky, plants and animals were created by a supernatural or also known as God. As Young and Strode state, “Within this basic idea are themes are variations; some cultures believe that plants and animal species are unchanging,

So what killed the dinosaurs? Without having any background education in science it is hard for the general public to comprehend such matters and they rely on the knowledge of the scientists in this field. Although there has been much research on the subject nobody has come up with a conclusive answer. And we are left to read the countless articles, all having their own opinions as to the mass extinction. One such theory is that a shift in the solar system could have caused the mass destruction. According to an article published in Nature magazine,

One of the fundamental questions that religions seek to answer is that of origin. How was man put on earth? Why and from what was he created? Who created him? What does his creation imply about the status of human beings? Some or all of these questions are answered by a religion’s creation stories. Every religion’s creation myths attempt to give solutions to problems present to that religious society. Because of this, each religion may have one or more creation stories, each of those different from one another in the questions they ask and the answers they give.

One particular journalist by the name of Lee Strobel wrote a book, “The Case for a Creator”. Strobel investigated and studied scientific evidence from many theories over evolution and also creationism. In the beginning of his

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

The subject of origins, or how we got here, is one of the most fundamental questions that can be asked. The important question of why we are here can’t be answered by science alone. How we answer these questions provides the basis for how we think about things, it defines our world-view. The Evolution vs. Creation debate is often referred to as the Great Debate. 20th century science has made the compelling discovery that, at some point, the universe began. Both sides of the debate Evolutionists and Creationists agree on one thing only, that the universe has not always existed. This is where their agreement ends. The why and how the universe began is where the division and dispute begins.

In This Fleeting World, David Christian delivers a wonderful thesis about world history starting with the “Big Bang” 13.7 billion years ago leading to the formation of this world, life, humans and their survival realm that leads into this present day. Christian deliberately describes three eras in order, comparing and contrasting attributes such as survival techniques, kinship/social skills, technology and architecture showing changes through time. The “Afro-Eurasian” continent is the starting point Christian uses to explain the expansion of humanity relating to the “Out of Africa” theory. Christian’s goal is to bring the importance of history into readers allowing them to understand the world they live in and the past that evolved till today (Christian xvii).

The debate between creationists and evolutionists has been raging on for centuries. The clash between these opposing views was illustrated through the debate of Bill Nye and Ken Ham. Bill Nye being from the evolutionist side, and Ken Ham from the creationist. After the debate was over the winner I believe was quite evident, Bill Nye. I believe that Bill Nye won because his arguments were concrete, accurate and relatable. He argued over the age of the age of Earth , the validity of the story of "Noah's Ark", and the possibility that all animals were once herbivores.

The story of creation begins with Genesis 1 and 2, it explains how the world and it’s living inhabitants were created from God’s touch. From Genesis 1 we see how the sky, seas, land, animals, and mankind were created. However Genesis 2 focuses more on the first of mankind, known as Adam and Eve and how they are made to be. In this paper I will compare Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 and what the main idea for creation is in each one, however in my opinion there is no contradiction between the two. Genesis 2 merely fills in the details that are "headlined" in Genesis 1.

Conflict is the clashing of ideas or ideologies which produce either a strong resolve for those involved rather than a result. In Dr Joseph Mengele’s experiments a strong resolve was produced where this past history was able to develop improvements to the establishment of the Human rights declaration. However there are some situations in which a large control group in society can limit a resolve from occurring. In the climate change debate between authority groups and scientific community historically, as Galileo found where groups continue to deny scientific fact, argument seems to lack conclusions that are beneficial. Conflict can produce many positive aspects where compromise is possible. This can be seen with individuals like Zack Kopplin

The extinction of the dinosaurs has caused great controversy all over the world. There are many theories of how they were killed, such as; an asteroid impact, volcanic activity, climate change, and eggs that took too long to hatch. Their extinction allowed humans to rule the Earth in their place.

Bill Nye is an American science educator, comedian, television host, actor, writer, scientist, and former mechanical engineer. Ken Ham is a young Earth creationist, fundamentalist Christian, and the president of Answers in Genesis (AiG), a Creationist apologetics ministry which operates the Creation Museum. They had a debates about “Is creation a viable model of origins in today’s modern scientific era?” They both talked a lot about this topic, but I will only summary a few. There opinions are really depth theories to research.

If the question was posed as to what is the debate between creationism vs. evolution consist of, the thought that it is ‘“God did it” vs. “Natural processes did it,”’ (Scott, 2004) may arise. Science cannot absolutely prove or disprove Creation or Evolution. Yet scientist and the remainder of society use creationism and evolution to prove our existence. Creationist believe in the Christian account of the origin as recorded in Genesis. Creationism is the belief that statements such as “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (NIV) found in Genesis 1:1 and also “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (NIV) found in John 1:1. Evolution is the belief that everything just changed over

My First theory is the Asteroid Impact Theory. I choose this theory because it has a lot of evidence suggesting that this is one way that the dinosaurs became extinct. The asteroid that hit 65 million years ago was approximately 6-15km in diameter, hit the earth with the force of five billion atomic bombs. The crater of that asteroid was 180km in diameter, was found buried at Chicxulub in Mexico in 1990 (Oxford Big Ideas, 2012). That Asteroid wiped out three-quarters of a species of earth

In the history of science vs. religion there have been no issues more intensely debated than evolution vs. creationism. The issue is passionately debated since the majority of evidence is in favor of evolution, but the creation point of view can never be proved wrong because of religious belief. Human creation breaks down into three simple beliefs; creation theory, naturalistic evolution theory, and theistic evolution theory. The complexities of all three sides create a dilemma for what theory to support among all people, religious and non-religious.
