  • Theory Of Evolution
    761 words
    People are always arguing over which theory is true, evolution or creationism. The theory of evolution has a lot to do with natural selection. Natural selection is when the individual with the best traits survives, and passes on their good traits to their offspring. Those offspring create more individuals with those strong traits, and eventually all of the species will have those strong traits. This means that if this cycle is carried on long enough, it will result in changes in a population, ev...

    Evolutionism What is Evolution? Evolution is the theory that all living things in the world have come into being through a non-guided, natural process starting from a primeval mass of subatomic particles and radiation, over 20 billion years ago (History). This theory says that all living things have increased intelligence or have changed in other ways over many, many years. The theory of evolution hasn't been around for ever. Before the 20th century, people wanted to understand the world around ...
  • Evolution Duane T Gish
    786 words
    Creation or Evolution Duane T. Gish has been one of the few people I have read on, that gives sensible reactions against the theories of both creation and evolution. In his writing Creationist Science and Education, it might be a little obvious he goes off better with creation, but he never tries to persuade the readers to follow his choice. He mainly points out why he thinks that evolution is not correct and why creation can not be proven but has a better chance of being true than evolution. Fo...
  • Modern Theory Of Evolution
    694 words
    While it is key to the study of evolution to develop a theory to explain how species can change over time, it must also be supported by evidence from the scientific study of the natural world. One of the difficulties faced by many theories, such as Lamarck's, was a lack of such evidence. Even Darwin's theory, which is the most widely accepted today, had to be proved with scientific advances and fossil evidence in the scientific community. Today, evidence for evolution comes from a few different ...
  • Theory Of Evolution
    1,938 words
    Evolution: Science and Religion In 1895 Charles Darwin published a book describing his theory of evolution, and his theory of the natural selection process. This theory caused much uproar in the religious community because Darwin's theory went against the story of creation portrayed in the Holy Bible. His theory claimed that all life currently in place had evolved and adapted from a single organism in the beginning. Over time and by process of natural selection only the dominant species were lef...
  • Theory Of Evolution As A Scientific Hypothesis
    1,534 words
    Catholics and Evolution One of the most important questions for every educated Catholic of today is: What is to be thought of the theory of evolution? Is it to be rejected as unfounded and inimical to Christianity, or is it to be accepted as an established theory altogether compatible with the principles of a Christian conception of the universe? We must carefully distinguish between the different meanings of the words theory of evolution in order to give a clear and correct answer to this quest...
  • Theory Of Evolution
    681 words
    In my humble opinion, I think public schools have the right to teach about anything they want. Hence the word "public" schools, parents should have that authority as to whether or not they want their child to attend a school where teachings can get disobedient to their religious belief or not. That's why there is a private school. Anybody can believe in God. But, when there is an answer to a problem or issue that is proven to be correct, then why not rely on that as well. My reasoning is as foll...

    The Theories of Evolution and Creationism Jacques Favreau 12-13-99 Global Studies Period 8 1550 words Jacques Favreau 12-13-1999 Period 8 The Theories of Creationism and Evolution Part I Creationism: the belief that life was created by a god. Creationism is the belief that all life and matter on this planet was created by a god or supreme being. It states that a god is the creator of all, and that he (or she) created everything out of nothing. This is a strong belief of many, and seriously contr...
  • Theory Of Evolution
    385 words
    We live on a planet believed to be 4.5 billion years of age with millions of people covering all parts of it. Where did they come from? Did the whole human population originate from one of people or were we placed here and then improved or changed by an intervention? I believe that humanity on planet earth was created by evolution. Both the creationist and interventionist theories seem to farfetched to be accountable theories for the creation of humanity on planet earth. There are a lot more que...
  • Creation As An Alternative To Evolution
    978 words
    Don't Monkey Around in Class "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen. 1: 1). Words of this nature have been questioned for thousands of years-by naturalists, materialists, humanists, etc. -and, in more recent times, have led to court cases, heated arguments, and public debates. The major debate intended to be covered in this piece is that of whether or not evolution should be taught in classrooms. Also, if it is to be taught, should it be taught as fact or theory? It is al...
  • Creation Theory Discredits Evolution And Claims
    1,187 words
    Evolution vs. Creation How was the earth created? There are several different answers to this question. One is from a religious viewpoint and stems from the Bible. Another comes from the world of science and is based on evidence that has surfaced over the last century. The theory of evolution comes into direct conflict with another theory that has been around for thousands of years, the theory of creation. The theory of evolution claims that humans have evolved over thousands of years from apes....
  • Theory Of Uniformitarianism
    695 words
    For over a hundred years now a battle has been raging over the origin of the Universe and man. Soldiers of Science have drawn the battle lines with each side using various scientific and non - scientific theories as their weapons. Who will ultimately win the war depends on who holds the most powerful weapons. On one side we have the Evolutionists. On the other side we have the Creationists. Evolutionists believe in spontaneous generation: This is the belief that life came from non-living matter....
  • Evolution With Creationism
    2,718 words
    (This is an inquiry that I wrote for a high school composition class - use it for reference, but I wouldn't recommend or appreciate it being submitted into a proffesor.) The merits of the arguments between the theory of evolution and the belief in creationism is a topic that has bestirred an interest in me for several years. I think that most people have an opinion on the topic or are trying to form one. An example of this is the Christian fish that emphasizes a creationist view found on the bac...
  • Theories Far Beyond Darwin
    768 words
    I have always believed that it can take one person to get the ball rolling, but it takes a group to make an impact. Therefore, the concept of evolution via natural selection was a group effort. Darwin didn't work on scientific evolution alone. Within, the seven years Darwin was thinking and analyzing about his theory, others were working on it themselves. Darwin is certainly the father of evolution, but our current understanding of evolution [DNA, natural selection, genetics, etc.] has evolved t...
  • Theory Of Evolution
    271 words
    Food is Good. The topic we are discussing is creationism verses evolution. We have chosen creationism. We all know that we came here because of creationism not evolution. But there are still many questions that need to be answered; such as what did humans evolve from? And who are our ancestors? Creationism is the belief in the literal interpretation of the account of creation of the universe and of all living things related in the Bible. There are many different theories that tell us how we came...
  • People Learning The Theory Of Evolution
    1,002 words
    Evolution and State Science is one of the most important fields of study in our society. People also make religion an important part of our lives. So who decides which one is really right when they contradict each other? In the State vs. John Scopes trial, or "The Monkey Trial", the state of Tennessee made their own laws based on the thoughts of the people with power. Tennessee had an anti-evolution statute, which made it against the law for any school to teach Darwin's theory of evolution. John...
  • Mary's Use Of Darwin's Theory
    427 words
    Scientific development was a large part of life during Mary Shelley's time. Charles Darwin, an important scientific figure with his theories of evolution, was a personal friend of Mary's husband Percy, so science was not an ignored topic in her life. On the night that Mary dreamed the story Frankenstein, they had discussed previously that evening evolution, galvanism and other topics dealing with science. So it was not strange that she had this dream since science was not something new to her li...
  • Theory Of Evolution For Many Years
    873 words
    In today's society theories are one of the most well known and most controversial issues among people. A major issue is the idea of creationism versus evolution, which are both theories presently in society. Creationism is the theory that man, earth, and the rest of the universe were originally created rather than randomly exploding from nothingness into chance existence (Abraham). On the other hand evolution is the idea that random mutations and natural selection can fully account for the compl...
  • Scientific Inaccuracies In Evolutionary Theory
    1,033 words
    The proponents and opponents of Evolutionary Theory have subjected it to scrutiny resulting in its emergence as a cornerstone for biological science. It has endured a trial-and-error process originating in philosophical inquiry over a thousand years ago, to scientific validity today. Evolutionary Theory's impact in science, education, and even religion moves our nation toward more rational explanations for humankind's origins and current state of being. Charles Darwin, a British naturalist, is c...
  • Theory Of Macro Evolution
    807 words
    The Theory of Evolution can be divided into two parts, micro-evolution and macro-evolution. Micro-evolution deals with small changes within a species which adapt that species to be better suited to its environment. This process is well supported with scientific evidence and doesn't conflict with a Christian understanding of reality. Macro-evolution claims that through major genetic mutations one species can evolve into another, so over a long period of time fish could evolve into insects, birds ...
