Whether humanity evolved from monkeys over time or was created instantly by an almighty God; that has been the debate between creationist and scientist since Charles Darwin came forth with the evolution theory in the late eighteen-fifties. It’s hard to contest against the facts of science. Science tells us that the Earth was created relatively 4.5 billion years ago and life evolved from

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

on natural selection and other process of biological evolution. These behaviors had a genetic basis that could be part because these behaviors had a genetic basis, they developed through the mechanism of natural selection. There are scientific, as well as political, objections to an extreme ‘nature’ viewpoint. This model implies that our behaviors are essentially geared toward reproductive success. It can even be seen as implying that cultural variations

Darwin’s theory was a ground breaking achievement within the 19th century. It went against the publics opinion that religion was the basis of human development and evolution. Due to his research, discoveries, and the development of his theory, Darwin was able to mold the foundation for modern day evolution theory.

Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by natural selection was released to the public in 1859 in The Origin of Species. Natural selection is the result of an organism that develops a favorable trait, giving them an improved chance of survival and the ability to produce more offspring than organisms that do not possess these favorable traits. Species that are able to adapt to these favorable traits will result in the evolution of a new species (Jackson and Weidman 245). When Darwin first constructed
