Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution

Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution attempts to explain how the world and its human species came to be the way we know them now. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific disciples. The theory has two main points which are “all life on earth is connected and related to each other,” and this diversity of life is a product of “modification of populations by natural selection.” People often describe this theory as “survival of the fittest.” By fittest, Darwin meant the ability to survive and adapt to the environment, as well as reproduce. Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is a theory based on the belief that through time, several

However, Christian in particular may portray evolution and religion as in opposition to each other. As a Christian myself, I opposed to Darwin’s theory of evolution. I do not believe in evolution because of religious beliefs. Creationism and evolution are both different theories but for some people they can think that the theory comes from the same source so other people believe in both. The idea of gradual evolutionary development of living things until humans finally appear makes it difficult to understand sin and the origin of evil. Although fossils record gives much evidence of death, and supposedly taking place before the time of Adam and Eve evolved. The Bible teaches that sin originated in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. It is scientific fact that life cannot originate from nonliving matter (the Law of Biogenesis). Science also states the fact that all living creatures are divided into distinct types. If evolution was the norm living lizards with scale feather, leg wings, or 3-chambered hearts should be observable throughout nature. Instead, they are non-existent. There is no evidence that any major groups of animals or plants arose from any other major groups. Therefore, it would be impossible for humans to evolve from apes. Insects also have no known evolutionary ancestors. It is also impossible to conceive of an evolutionary process that results in sexual reproduction. Male and female system must evolve at each stage at the exact same time and place. The chemical process, behavioral patterns and physical characteristics, would all need to be compatible. Even leading evolutionists admit they cannot explain this. Another thing that did not evolve is human speech and languages. Studies show that speech appears to be learned only from other humans. There is no evidence that speech has evolved. Mutations cannot produce complex organs such as
