The Argument Of Creationism: Evolution Or Creation?

Improved Essays
Almost each of us reaches a moment where we wonder how the earth was created –or was it really created? We also once asked ourselves, “Where did humans come from?” or “How did humanity come into existence?”All this time we are so curious about such things. All this time we ask ourselves different questions that remain unanswered. There are two different ways on how we are going to answer all the questions we created in our mind. There are two different ways on how are we going to explain the origin of all things in the world. First is the creation way and second is the evolution way.
Evolution or Creation? This has been a great topic for arguments and debates for long years. Although a lot of theories arise from our society, people mainly

What is Creationism? Creationism is the belief that someone has created the entire universe. It is the belief that animals, human beings, and all the living creatures in the world have their own different specific ancestors and that someone who acquires great intelligence produced life in the universe. People who believe in Creationism also say that the earth is a young earth. In contrast to evolution, creation is based from biblical scriptures but still creationism is still considered a theory.
How am I so sure that all the beliefs of Creationism are true? Are there enough scientific evidences to support all of these?
Of course, Yes.
Let us go first to the belief that someone who acquires great intelligence created the entire universe. The universe itself is a good example for this argument. One physicist, namely Lee Smolin, estimates that the chance of having a life-friendly universe to exist is 〖10〗^(10^23 ). That’s ten raised to the power of ten raised to the power of twenty three.1 The laws of the universe match the narrow band of parameters that is required for the existence of advanced life. It greatly shows that the universe is a strong evidence that someone has designed and created it and it is not by mere

There are many evidences that support this belief. One example is the soft tissues and traces of blood cells that have been found in dinosaur fossils. The nature of soft tissues and blood cells are that they only have a short life span which means that dinosaurs lived just a thousand years ago.3 Another is the Carbon 14 that has been found in coals and diamonds supposedly hundred of million years old. Like the nature of the tissues and blood cells, Carbon 14 has also a short life span which debunks that diamonds and coals lived for million of years.4 These evidences are all in favor of the creationist belief that the earth is a young earth. Thus we conclude, from these scientific evidences, that the earth is a young

    The beginning of the world and human existence have always mystified people. Human nature compels human beings to understand, put things in order, and explain the unexplainable. In ancient times creation stories answered the questions that confounded and bewildered the people living in those societies. Modern science and technology did not exist to help; no scientific experiment could be performed. Ancient societies used myth instead of analysis to answer the questions of existence and purpose; the creation stories were their truths.…

    I don’t remember ever asking where it all came from. I grew up in what was, for the most part, a highly educated and progressive environment with little exposure to much else – I remember many happy hours spent with those glossy DK children’s books and I’m sure I came across early humans at some point – but I don’t know that I was aware of anything but evolution until middle school. I had been introduced to the creation story from the bible in school, but with it came various Native American creation stories and so Adam and Eve were shelved in my own mind with Cinderella, Zeus, and King Arthur. It wasn’t until the eighth grade, probably, that I gave creationism as a theory any kind of genuine thought. I happened to overhear that another student had taken on the evolution vs. creation debate for an English paper.…

    Psychology To begin the journal, from the American Psychological Association, Nancy Dess informs psychologists and educators about evolution, intelligent design, and scientifical education because of the evident gap in how evolution or creationism should be taught in schools. The journal firmly states creationism is false and life just evolved, through Modern Synthesis with Darwin’s ideas on natural selection. (The journal states that) “The contemporary evolutionary theory provides a comprehensive account of the origins and diversity of life on Earth that has been rigorously tested and well supported over the last hundred years or so.” Providing the statement that the origin of life has been tested over hundreds of years.…

    Thesis: People should consider Biblical Creation as a competing explanation when answering the questions of the origins of life because both Biblical Creation and evolution takes faith, and even a logical thinker can be convinced that Biblical Creation is a worthy explanation. Society should realize that Evolution, not just Biblical Creation, takes faith. Opponents to Biblical Creation believe it is not a valid argument because they consider the Bible as religious dogma that is the result of ‘faith’, not scientific fact. However, many ignore that evolution is not fact either, but a lens in which information is interpreted.…

    Evolution is factual despite the great amount of people who don’t believe in the recent discoveries. There are numerous facts supporting Darwinian evolution, in which, Scientists today are finding species splitting in two, observing natural selection changing animals and plants before our eyes, and discovering more and more fossils capturing change in the past-dinosaurs that have sprouted feathers, fish that have grown limbs. Jerry Coyne eloquently shows that evolution does not destroy the beauty of life but enhances it. Jerry Coyne clearly confirms that evolution is more than just a theory: it is a fact-a fact that cannot be doubted by anyone with an open mind. There are many other scientists and their most recent discovery that can attest to the fact that evolution is indeed true.…

    Creation versus evolution is a world renowned topic that has been argued upon for an extended period of time, by a wide collection of people. There are many people with very different facts on each, but in the end it is still an ongoing debate. Scholars for Creationism have their arguments, but scientists also have their arguments. There are things that have resemblance for both, but they can’t seem to come up with a compromise of where the first atom came from.…

    According to Popper, a law of science can never be proved; it can only be used to make a prediction that can be tested, with the possibility of being proved wrong. For example, as the renowned biologist J.B.S. Haldane replied when asked what might disprove evolution, “Fossil rabbits in the pre-Cambrian.” So far that has not happened, and in fact the positive evidence for the “theory” of evolution is extensive, made up of hundreds of thousands of mutually corroborating observations. These come from areas such as geology, paleontology, comparative anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, ethnology, biogeography, embryology, and molecular genetics. Like evolution, most accepted scientific theories have withstood the test of time and falsifiability to…
