Creationism vs. Evolution: The Three Different View Points Professor Cockrell/CWP 101 October 22‚ 2012 Karen Pieczynski Creationism vs. Evolution: The Three Different Viewpoints Scientific facts found in paleontology‚ biology‚ geology‚ and astronomy‚ pose strong evidence for Evolution making it seem like the only logical answer as to how life evolved. The ideas found in “The Book of Genesis” have made great controversy of whether Creationism is true‚ or if we should solely rely on the scientific

Should Intelligent Design be Taught Alongside Evolution A trial is currently taking place in Harrisburg‚ Pennsylvania concerning the question of whether a local school district can require students to be told about intelligent design (ID) as an alternative to Darwinian evolution (Holden 1796). This trial‚ known as Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District‚ could result in the setting of a national precedence. The reason for this is that the losing side is likely to appeal every step of the way

There have been many theories that explain how evolution occurred. Charles Darwin‚ on the book Origin of Species‚ spoke about how traits are passed on from generations to generations by natural selection. In addition‚ he stated how there are four objections to the theory of natural selection‚ how species can win the struggle for existence through natural selection‚ and how the origin of species challenges religion. Central to the theory of evolution‚ is natural selection. Evolutionary theory was

has been theorized that tool use may have stimulated certain aspects of human evolution-most notably the continued expansion of the human brain. Paleontology has yet to explain the expansion of this organ over millions of years despite being extremely demanding in terms of energy consumption. The brain of a modern human consumes about 20 Watts (400 kilocalories per day)‚ which is one fifth of the energy consumption of a human body. Increased tool use would allow for hunting and consuming meat‚ which

beauty of the concept of evolution lies in its elegant simplicity. According to Charles Darwin’s grand theory‚ the characteristics of populations or species can change over time if heritable variation exists‚ and if there are differences in reproductive success or survival rates. Therefore‚ in response to environmental pressures‚ the frequency of heritable characteristics will change from one generation to the next‚ and evolution by natural selection will take place. …humans display greater genetic
