but the one most responsive to change.” Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection remains one of the best known theories in science today. However, The Origin of Species had a significant impact on society when it was published in the late 19th century.

Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection impacted 19th century society in a scientific perspective,
Evolution versus Creationism Did you know 55% of Americans believe in Creationism (Gordon)? Yes, that means 55% of America believes the Earth is only 6,000 years old. The debate between Evolution and Creationism has been around since Charles Darwin’s book, “On the Origins of Species,” was published in 1859 (Charles). Within this debate there have been two main sub-debates: which one is the truth and which one should be taught in public science classes. Over billions of years, Evolution is the theory
Even though Everyone says God exists Therefore Evolution does not, Evolution is what developed human life but God is what keeps the process going because The Big Bang Theory is the most logical explanation. and Its true because there is fact in it that Evolution is the way of life…… Evolution is the process in which cumulative changes occur in many species that breed and their genetic genes mutated to form the ape who bread over years to form the human being. During reproduction the species characteristics
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.

Creation vs. Evolution Ever since the publication of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species was published there has been an ongoing debate between science and religion. Scientists have formulated many theories as to the origins of man and to the creation of the earth, whereas religious groups have one main creation theory, based on the "Genesis" story of The Bible. These theories, however, are not the cause of the debate because the different theories are simply myths meant
The debate over Evolutionary theories and Creationism beliefs has been a major debate throughout our churches, education system, and even our homes. There have been countless scientists, theologians, journalists and Christians that have studied both sides of the spectrum, that argue how the world we live in was created.

These debates rarely end with a compromise, but instead leave the theistic and atheistic worldviews tremendously segregated. There is evidence for both sides, and it often comes down to which side can present the most conclusive details. Evolutionists argue that science can not prove of intelligent design, while creationists argue
