If Science is Right then Religion is Wrong By Sophia Frost SCIENCE IS RIGHT because… Whereas the Religious theory is word of mouth and the Bible‚ science has facts to prove that it is right. The most accepted theory is the Big Bang – a cosmic explosion that caused the world to exist. Before the Big Bang there had been nothing except an amount of matter that was smaller than the eye of a needle. The explosion caused this to expand and thus; our Universe was created. Scientists believe that

One particular creature happened to explore and discover new things in its surroundings more advanced than others. In the late 18th century‚ Charles Darwin wrote a book called “Origin of Species”. The book was intriguing. People thought he was losing his mind

Today there are two main houses of argument which have many different names. They are called secular and religious‚ evolutionists and creationists‚ humanists and theists. However‚ each house subscribes to its own idea of how the world has come about and progressed through history. The secular/evolutionist/humanist

of organisms over time. Darwin was influenced by Lamark and Malthus‚ who were other scientists during his time. Lamar believed that acquired characters are passed on to offspring. For example‚ giraffe necks would change for “adaptation”. Giraffes would be born with longer necks. Malthus believed that populations try to go beyond support capacity. He believed they go through competition and struggle for survival amongst each other. At the Galapagos Islands‚ Charles Darwin believed that species were

Creation or Evolutionist Stance The age-old debate between creation and evolution has divided people for generations. It has been going on since Darwin came up with his theory‚ called darwinism. People from there started either disagreeing or agreeing with what Darwin had discovered. This is where the theory of creation and evolutionist came to be but this is not to say that creation didn’t exist before this. Believing that we came from a God and that he created us was creationism but with no actually

"a man of magnitude" represents the religious tensions of Fugard’s lifetime in South Africa between the growing belief in evolution and Jesus Christ’s teaching of Creation. Hally says that Charles Darwin was "a man of magnitude‚" because he was "somebody who benefited all mankind". He admires Darwin "for his Theory of Evolution"‚ which according to Hally‚ proves "where we come from and what it all means". Sam totally disagrees with Darwin’s "Theory of Evolution" because evolution is in contrast

Human curiosity has led the search for scientific explanations for natural phenomena‚ including the question of what makes a person who they are. The ideas of racial thinkers of the 18th and 19th century provided theories for how differences between people came about. Johann Blumenbach‚ a German professor of medicine‚ categorized humans into five races‚ with environmental differences resulting in degeneration from the Caucasian race into the other races. In endeavoring to classify humans and provide

The theory of Darwinism relies on scientific evidence. Darwin’s theory stated that evolution could change one type of organism into another. Darwin did not have a clear understanding of the laws of inheritance of such traits‚ because an Austrian monk‚ Gregor Mendel‚ discovered them only a few years earlier. In the 1900’s‚ geneticists incorporated Mendel’s four laws of inheritance into Darwin’s theory of evolution. They called this new theory‚ neo-Darwinism‚ in which the individual units of inheritance

Selection is taking place. The beak size is increasing on Wallace Island from 11.85 to 19.13‚ and the population is increasing as well. This is because there are more seeds available that the birds can eat. What type of selection is taking place on Darwin Island? Explain. Directional selection is taking place. The beak size increases slowly‚ from 12.47 to 26.95. The population decreased because of the lack of seeds available for the birds to eat. Explain the reason for any differences in population

The process of evolution was not well understood until 19th century when Charles Darwin proposed the scientific theory of natural selection as a driving tool in evolution. The process involved both the macroevolution in which organisms went through major evolutionary changes over a long period of time and acquired different traits from
