Creation versus evolution; faith versus reason. There has been an ongoing debate ever since on how man first existed. As people have been trying to unlock the mystery of life‚ many evolution theories sprang up – one of which is Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Darwin’s theory made a big impact in science and has only gained more acceptance as years went by. It was widely accepted as the explanation for the diversity of organisms‚ and there were proofs claimed to support it. But today‚ we will

For such a complex concept a direct definition leaves more questions than answers. When a species changes biologically over time‚ evolution guides the process. All living species on earth effect one and other‚ during the evolutionary process. We depend on that change for our change and they depend on us to affect their change (Park‚ 2014). The success of those changes depends on the ever constant fight to adapt to the natural environment. For a species to survive depends on the best genetic mutation

depravation of resources. The species that is better adapted for these changes will survive and those who are not will at some point no longer exist. This process is referred to as natural selection. Due to natural selection‚ we have evolution as a result. Evolution is the process by which previous organisms affect the development of future organisms. Natural selection is often referred to as survival of the fittest because those with the most desirable traits will outlast

Creationism is believing that a superior being called‚ God‚ created Earth and all of the living creatures we have‚ such as: humans‚ animals‚ birds‚ and plants. Creationists believe that this God created it using only his words and creating humans with his own hands and breathe of life. Evidence found for creationism has been discredited throughout the years by ‘simple’‚ evolutionary explanations‚ but neither evolutionists or creationist have the closest thing to a proof. The first evidence for

Continental Drift is the principle that the continent landmasses have not remained in fixed positions‚ but have moved around the earth’s surface apparently independently. It is important in evolution because of the effects it has had on evolution and taxonomic diversity‚ brought about by the collision and moving apart of landmasses. The drifting apart of land masses brings about vicariance‚ where organisms are split up by the development of barriers‚ isolating descendent populations which then evolve

SUMMARY ON EVOLUTION OF MAN. Science tells us that the earth and all other planets were made out of rings of hot gases revolving around the sun. Cooling and condensing over a period of billions of years formed the solid earth we now live on. Most of the earth was covered by water and the first form of life began in the form of single-celled bacteria. From the bacteria‚ animal life then evolved through a series of life forms up until the present day animals such as fish‚ reptiles‚ birds and beasts

Evolution of human intelligence The evolution of human intelligence refers to a set of theories that attempt to explain how human intelligence has evolved. These theories are closely tied to the evolution of the human brain and to the emergence of human language. The timeline of human evolution spans approximately 7 million years‚[citation needed] from the separation of the Pan genus until the emergence of behavioral modernity by 50‚000 years ago. The first 3 million years of this timeline

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

Darwin’s Theory of Evolution & Natural Selection Charles Robert Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in Shrewsbury‚ Shropshire into a wealthy family. Darwin himself initially planned to follow a medical career‚ and studied at Edinburgh University but later switched to divinity at Cambridge. In 1831‚ he joined a five year scientific expedition on the survey ship HMS Beagle. This is where he came up with his theory of evolution. During his voyage on the Beagle‚ Darwin found evidence that challenged
