Creationism vs. Evolution: the Unending Dispute
Mikaela Marie Diego Manalili
Bataan Peninsula State University Abstract
This paper was done to explain the unending dispute between the creationists and the evolutionists. Also, I am looking forward to explain the following: (1). Where does the truth tends toward? (2). The reason why there are this so called “unending” dispute; and (3).Would this end soon?

A brief introduction to the topic may be cited like this: Creationists believe in creationism wherein it stated that God created the universe and the world (including man) within six days while evolutionists believe in the theory of evolution which states the process of evolution wherein animals, specifically primates, developed …show more content…

Same as those of the evolutionists' and creationists', no one admit they were wrong all along, no one would accept the fact that their opponent would be correct. They would fight for what they believe until their opponent gives up (which in this case, not yet happening) and be accepted …show more content…

Many people around the world believe in the existence of God and that He created every living things on earth including man. They believe that He created us with dust and that He gave us the breath of life. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us” – Genesis 1:26. “And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them. And God gave them his blessing and said to them,” - Genesis 1:27-28. Nevertheless, there are also these people who don’t believe that man existed because of God’s creation, what they think is that, man started from animals (specifically primates) then eventually evolved through time. Because of these beliefs, the dispute began and until now, still exists.
Creationism vs. Evolution – The Beginning of the Battle
Strictly speaking, creationism is based on a literal reading of the Bible’s Book of Genesis, which states the creation of everything including human being in a span of six days. Evolutionists on the other hand, (though there is still this so called “missing link”) is proving that what they fight for and believe is true. Charles Darwin’s “Origin of the Species”, published in 1859, complicated matters

Philip Kitcher in “Abusing science: The case against creationism” argues about how creationists have motives in which they want to show that the theory of evolution are just lies. They will pick on every theory they find and claim them as untestable. The author states that creationist use tautology objection, which means that whatever the evolution theory is it cannot be tested and is classified as not real science. The author hen states that creationist do not thoroughly understand what their objections borrowed from evolutionist really mean. All they do is get whatever information makes sense to them and turn it around to a point in which will justify their point of view against evolutionist.

In the article “Evolution as Fact and Theory” Stephen Jay Gould who is one of the leading theorists in evolution argues that the debate between evolutionists and creationists is pointless since creationists’ arguments lack support and evidence. Gould writes that creationists’ main argument is that evolution is only a theory. However, Gould states that it is not only a theory but also a fact. He suggests that humans evolved from apelike— whether or not is happened by Darwin’s mechanism. What Gould is saying is that there is more than enough evidence to support the theory of evolution and the question that scientists are trying to answer is how exactly all living organisms are linked.

To every story there are at least two sides; for any considered conclusion a fact must have a contradiction. Moreover, arguments follow in tow. Henry Drummond in Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, displays the significance to Creationism and Darwinism in tandem.

The theory of evolution first came to be during the 19th century by a man called Darwin. Darwin also published a book related on the theory of evolution called “On the Origin of Species”. At first this theory was mocked, this was because during the 19th century majority of the people in Europe especially England were practicing Christians and they despised the theory because it questioned the power of god and if he created all life on earth or not. However as time progressed this theory started to become more widely accepted as science had improved over the years and scientists could find links between humans and our ancestors that we may have originated from. Obstacles for the theory were hat during the 19th century science was not as advance as it is in the present day and also they didn’t have the technology to prove that humans had links to ancestors before.

Overall, Creationism sounds like a children’s story while Evolution is very detailed, informative, and educational. Creationism confuses students and lures them away from their educational thinking process. In many circumstances, Creationism has refuted scientific theories and has unraveled the lot that science, in most schools has taught us about human derivation. Evolution and Creation are two of the most common theories of human origin, although numerous religious people believe in Creation, the bible’s timeline does not match up

Differing Viewpoints of Evolution Among Popular Religions Some religions completely accept evolution and others reject it completely while other religions believe bits and pieces of evolution which causes their followers to become divided in their beliefs.

Creationism, with its basis on faith and a history of over 2,000 years in religion, has many staunch supporters. Many supporters of creationism have attempted to argue for it with facts, however since it is nearly impossible to prove, many simply cite the Bible and their faith. On the opposing side, evolutionism has gained many supporters due to the overwhelmingly large amount of scientific and experimental evidence that backs it. Personally, I fully support and attempt to understand the complexities of evolutionism, as opposed to the idea of creationism.

The simple answer is this-evolution doesn 't exist (Adamson 3). Although, the question of where we came from still remains. The only logical answer is the existence of a creator. If a creator exists then that means the biblical story of the creation in genesis is true. In genesis 1:1 it says “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Evolutionists only have one thing to go on and that is an explosion that happened just once. Whereas the six day creation theory does actually talk about how everything was created. There is no one time Big Bang and everything came to be. The belief that God spoke everything into existence with his divinity is much easier to explain. The other difference is the amount of time that each theory presents.
