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. Many empty statements, with little to no facts, just assertions about this particular question have been stated in many debates all over the world. So on one side we have Creationism belief that essentially argues that God is the “intelligent designer” and on the other side Evolutionary theories that state the world has evolved over the centuries. In the Merriam- Webster dictionary, Creationism is defined as, “a doctrine or theory holding that matter, the various forms of life, and the world were created by God out of nothing and usually in the way described in Genesis “. Merriam- Webster dictionary also defines Evolution as, “a theory that the differences between modern plants and animals are because of changes that happened by a natural process over a very long time; the process by which changes in plants and animals happen over time; a process of slow change and development”. So is it possible to believe both of those definitions?

Explain the adaptive value of female body shape as it relates to evolutionary theory. Remember to include details that are missing in the media article (e.g. explain other features such as waist and hip ratio).

A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the world, based on facts that have been frequently confirmed through observation and experiment or is often just speculations. Is evolution just a theory? Evolution is considered a valid scientific theory as it cannot be expressed in a concise mathematical equation so it is referred to as a theory, which does not make it more accurate than a law. Natural selection, comparative embryology, comparative anatomy, DNA and scientific contributions all support the theory of evolution.

Darwin has many evolutionary theories. Scientists both believers and non-believers alike have researched and determined these theories to be false or impossible to improve. Scientist have argued amongst one another that complex organs could not have been created by tiny organisms in an evolutionary creation (Grudem, 136). Molecular biology has determined that no “being” could have transitioned from “simple organisms” (Grudem, 136). Suddenly over time random mixing chemicals could not have created life as evolutionists would like us to believe (Grudem, 136). Cross breeding another theory of evolution has been researched to discover that this could not have happened because of the “limited range of genetic variation” (Grudem, 136).

Evolutionary scientists mock creation by saying that it is unscientific because it is unobservable and lacks the ability to be tested. Evolution denies a need for God to be involved int he universe; they believe that it is all random design. Their theory is untested as well. Were they there one billion years ago? Did they observe how it happened? Both positions must be accepted by faith.

Charles Darwin was the creator of Darwinism which is, “the theory of evolution by natural selection” (Junker 1). In school we are often taught that natural selection is survival of the fittest or the strongest wins. What seems to be a simple topic is actually one of the leading theories on the side of evolution in the highly controversial debate on Darwinism vs. Creationism. Darwinism states that certain genes in a population change through individuals. These “strong” genes are then produced more and are better able to survive making them the fittest. According to natural selection this process of evolving “usually takes place over many years, but in fast-breeding organisms it can occur rapidly, for example the spread of antibiotic resistance in some bacteria” ("Natural Selection” 1).

Evolution is the theory that every organic thing has originated from a single living organism. Evolutionary principles are widely accepted

Experiments by Louis Pasteur demonstrated that new cells can only arise from other cells – falsifying the ideas of the “spontaneous generation” of new cells from lifeless matter. On completely different fronts, this discovery has lent (alongside the molecular and cellular evidence at its side) arguments against creationism and spontaneous genesis.

Charles Darwin was a british naturist. Stated in our brain pop video, he was most famous for his theory on the finches, which is a type of bird. Darwin's voyage lasted about 5 years. On his trip he went to the Galapagos Islands where he found out that each bird has different traits for different reasons. Stated in the brain pop video it says that in 1859 Darwin published his findings in an article. He kept writing throughout his years and and then died in 1882.

Evolutionary theory was developed by Charles Darwin and documented in his book ‘On the Origin of Species’ (1859). In it’s most simplistic terms it explains how and why animals, including humans, have changed and evolved over time to become the way they are. One of his more well known and supported theories illustrated in his book is the theory of evolution by natural selection. This says that within species certain individuals will hold more beneficial traits than others, these individuals will then go on to outlive other individuals who hold fewer desirable traits. They will then mate and produce offspring who will carry forward their genetics increasing the likelihood of the next generation also possessing the desirable traits. For example, during the Industrial Revolution in the 1800’s peppered moths which would usually have black and white speckles on their wings, started turning black. The increased use

Evolution versus creation is one of the most controversial topics that have ever been exposed to the world. Scientist and creationist both argue that their perspective is more right than the other. In reality both sides don’t know the exact truth behind the creation of the world. Evolution is the process in which something changes into something different and typically resulting in it becoming more complex and better formed. Charles Darwin, an English naturalist and geologist, suggested a theory best known as the “Theory of Evolution,” stating that animals evolved into species that could withstand the changing of the environment, increasing their ability to survive, and keeping the genetic traits that was passed onto them by their ancestors to reproduce offspring that are similar to them. The theory of evolution is a scientific theory that is tested mainly by observation and using the scientific methods. The scientific method is a process of forming replicas of the natural world to produce experiments to gather information in order to create a hypothesis and theories. The theory of evolution is supported by fossil evidence that has been accumulating throughout the Earth history. Creationism is a religious belief that a higher power created animals and everything else that exists on Earth today. This religious belief has been accepted by faith and there is no way to test or investigate whether this idea of a higher power is true. Creationism beliefs mainly come from a strict

The views of society towards the creation of humanity have rapidly changed since the discovery of evolution. Nevertheless, there was a time before the world did not know the theory of evolution and the theories demonstrated by Sir Charles Darwin. Before the evolution, there were people who were subjected to religious ideologies of how mankind was created, they believed that the upper class was known to be “divine creatures”. However, the introduction of evolution leads the theory to be the base of biology and changes the minds of people all over the world.

Countless scientists spent their lives working on a succinct theory of evolution, but none found as great of popularity and success as Charles Darwin. Using his concept of Natural Selection, Darwin managed to explain evolution in not just the organic world, but also in humans. The fact that Darwin’s theory transfers so easily to human society is no coincidence. After Darwin’s Beagle voyage, he returned to England during the Industrial Revolution. As a man of wealth, Darwin acted as a first-hand witness to the societal changes occurring around him. The Industrial Revolution, along with the corresponding economic theories of Adam Smith and Thomas Malthus, influenced Darwin’s theory of evolution as well as helped make his theory popular among social elitists.

Eighty-seven percent of American scientists believe that a series of random chemical and biological events produced mankind. However, the philosophical "theory" of evolution has no solid evidence, whereas creation can be proven. Science is supposed to be based on observation, right? The best theories satisfy the test of experimentation. No one can test if evolution happened. Non one can prove that evolution actually happened. But what evidence can we place against evolution?
