What is evolution? Well, evolution is the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.
My beliefs
I have never actually given much thought about evolution before, I have always believed that humans started from Adam and Eve, yes the ones from the bible. I have always believed that man was created by God and woman was created from the flesh of man, because that’s what I was taught since I was young, even though I have never actually seen visual proof of God, this actually does not make me believe in him less or the things that I have been taught about him, after all, one cannot see air or oxygen, but we know it is there and it helps us …show more content…

Evolution may have been first thought of as just a theory but it has proved that it’s not just a theory, but it is a fact. It is a fact that has been observed and tested time and time again directly, in which it also does not have no evidence against it. Evolution is also not religion nor faith, nor does it goes against it, it is simply based on science. It is based on the origins of all species and not simply just based on life, therefore it does not revolve around the beginnings of life of humans, but more so revolves around the population. Once again, the important thing that I have learned is that evolution does not undermine religion, it does not deny God and does not conflict with religion. Evolution is simply another means of explaining the becoming’s of the natural world, trying to make sense of the world, yet based on scientific observations. Although many believe in religion and doubts evolution involvements in the creation and development of species, evolution or science can neither deny nor confirm religions involvement in the development of species. For all we know, evolution can come from religion; just another thing that can make us understand the world we live in, after all everything has to start

Evolution, in common terms, is descent through genetic inheritance, with change in physical and biological characteristics. Evolutionary theory attempts to explain why we see so many species in world that seem so diverse and yet, have enough similarities that imply a common origin. There are various mechanisms by which evolution occurs, including natural selection, artificial selection, gene drift, etc., but in the end, evolution is process by which every single species that exists today, was derived from the last universal ancestor. This perpetual system of change and advancement, shapes the both the biotic and abiotic aspects of the environment, and results in the creation and advancement of the complex communities that inhabit the biosphere.

However, evolution is very important and should be taught in Biology classes because students need to understand how Homo sapiens evolve if they don’t believe in the biblical story.

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.

Furthermore, the Mormon & Catholic Church are great examples to demonstrate how both can coexist. Very well-known Mormon scientist Henry Eyring never opposed any of the two views but rather saw how they both needed each other. By stating, “Science tries to pursue and find the truth in all its forms and the LDS church is ultimately interested in the truth”. Pope Pius XII said that Catholic Church teachings on creation could coexist with evolutionary theory (Humani Generis). With this being said, evolution ultimately answers the how and religion asks why?

There is a big argument among the world discussing the issue of evolution verses creation. The evolutionists believe that everything has evolved from similar ancestors, and over time they changed into the different species we have today. Creationists believe that everything that is on the earth was put here by a higher being that put all of the complexity and variation of the animals that are here today. I believe that everything that on the earth today was created by an intelligent being because evolution is just a theory, evolution is no longer happening, and it is unscientific based on the scientific method.

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.
