The debate on the origin has always been a controversial issue. There have been several theories that have tried to explain the origin of human beings with the evolution theory and creationism being the most prominent. Evolution theory was first formulated by Charles Darwin who believed that everything has life is related for instance all the human being had a similar origin. Creationism has its basis on faith. Creationists believe that the earth was created by one supreme being.
From the Darwinian theory, we find that evolution is a process whereby organisms change their characteristics and behavioral traits over time. The changes allow the creatures to adapt to the various environments and this helps in their survival and the creation of

Evidence such as paleontology, geology and development theory support the notions of evolution. The main points of the evolution theory are that all the things that are on earth are related and are connected with each other and life is diverse because of modifications of the various populations by natural selection where some traits are favored in certain environments while others are not favored. In creationism, we find the god is the creator of everything, but they have become diverse thus evolving into new forms. We consider the biblical story of Noah as an important aspect of creationism. In continuous creationism, we find that God is continuing to play a role in the way the kinds that He created are evolving.in theistic evolution is the sense that God is the creator but through evolution.
Evolution theory can also be considered as survival for the fittest but this can always be misleading. Fitness here refers to an organisms’ ability to survive in a certain environment with certain conditions and not the physical strength. A study on human evolution found that it is difficult for people to find mates because of the technological advancements that are evolving at a faster rate than the

In my opinion, the article is entirely true. Human beings are destructive to the environment that they live in, and they do this despite knowing that the destruction will come back to harm them. Following the article, we find that human beings assault the environment at an arming rate. We are continuously using harmful substances such as fertilizers and pesticides and these are harmful to the environment. A good example of the effect of environmental destruction is the global decline in the population of the honey bees. Honey bees in China, for instance, have declined because of the excessive use of pesticides.
It is quite obvious that our prosperity depends on protecting the environment and ensuring that the resources are not wasted so that future generations have a good place to live. But we find that the society values the economic aspect more than the environment. When firms release pollutants to the environment they are fined instead of being banned from such actions, and we find that the various legal institutions that should be protecting people are the ones putting a price on the environment.
