Critique #2: Religion and creationism vs science and evolution. As modern humans, we have evolved over time in order to survive the harsh conditions in which we lived in more than 30,000 years ago. We are the only remaining species of homosapiens, a sub-category of great apes known for their erect posture and bipedal locomotion. Archeologists along
With other scientific disciplines such as anthropologists, ethelogists, and many others have actual
Evidence that support human evolution dating back as far as 14 million years ago. However, the
Creationist theory states that god created everything, including the universe in their present form. They
Disregard human evolution and base their beliefs entirely on the book of genesis as to how we came to
Be. While Creationists believe that created everything in 6 days, evolutionists believe we have adapted according to our environment and developed into the humans we are today, Evolution is the progress of change in the characteristics of biological populations over
Multiple generations. Evolutionists have proof that back up their theories of our early ancestors starting
With the first fossils which were discovered in Africa. These fossils show lower location of the foreamen
Magnum, which was an indicator that these species practiced bipedal locomotion, they were a transitional
Descendant from early apes into hominids. The discovery of many other species such as Lucy, and the
Taung Child, prove their theories of human evolution. The out of Africa model is also consistent with the fossils found is several regions. The model explains the origins of modern humans backed up by a study of present-day mitochondrial DNA, combined with evidence based on physical anthropology. Based on facts and theories that are consistently being proven, one cannot dismiss them and possibly believe that
“God” created everything as it is
