    Evolution is, “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.” When studying evolution many arguments tend to be something along the lines of fossil records.

Evolutionists argue that by observing the fossils they have found it was clear that they fall in line with the evolution theory. Evolutionist

    Evolutionism vs Creationism has been one of the largest ongoing debates ever since Charles Darwin threw his theory on the table. So far, neither argument has enough evidence to be proven, yet we still teach one as fact in public education. Every genesis is dependent on trust and acceptance. Religious theories, such as Creationism, require a belief in an intelligent God or in gods, which can neither be proved nor disproved. Evolution requires faith in chance, time, and natural selection to explain

    After looking at the old-creationist’s views and their supporting arguments to their claims, the focus is now shifted towards young-earth creationism and why it is the one more likely to be true of the two theories. Death Before the Fall Evolutionists claim man’s existence was brought about over a course of millions of years which consisted of much death, bloodshed, and suffering.

    Evolutionism versus Creationism Evolution is a theory to explain facts. Creationism is a myth to explain facts. Evolution is proven through facts; creationism is a story about facts. There is a constant debate going on with science versus religion, but the interesting point to realize it that science creates the facts, and all the creationists (the religious) can do it argue evolutionists theories.

    The basic conflict between evolutionism and creationism is whether humans and other organisms have undergone cumulative minor changes throughout many generations or that the state of all organisms is predetermined in their present state by a deity. Before the advent of evolution by natural selection as first suggested by Charles Darwin in his publication: The Origin of Species, people believed that the apparent complexity of the world demanded an intelligent designer. Since Abrahamic religions (Christianity

    Speech Creationism and Evolutionism by definition are very different topics. Currently, evolutionary naturalism is the most widely taught view of origins in America.

    In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. Or so it said. Then this mystical being, this Intelligent Designer, went on. He made the sun and the moon, the sea and the lands, and all the beasts of the planet. Then, he concluded with man. All this creation in 6 short days. Everything that we know, everything that we are, is supposedly derived from this short span of mass design. However, this information is quite contradictory to what modern science tells us. And that, in and of itself

    Robert E. Lee’s Inherit the Wind depicted the tension that arose from a teacher explaining evolution to students in a town that has solely rejected any idea of evolutionism whatsoever. Because the play begins with the discussion of this controversial theory, the beginning passage foreshadows the central conflict between creationism and evolutionism and the town’s reaction to this disputed idea. The Hillsboro society flourished with creationists who adhered to rigid, Christian doctrines. When informed
