Evolution vs. Creation

Evolution
- The theory of evolution was introduced by Charles Darwin. He believed that humans and other animals changed slowly over time. He believed these species evolved over time because of the need of survival. He called it natural selection. In natural selection those who had an advantages survived and those who didn't died. Species that survived reproduced and their offspring now carried the advantage gene. For example, if certain birds developed a bigger beak they are able to carry more seeds and eat more. The birds with the smaller beaks will eventually die out. The evidence for Darwin's theory is that every species changed slowly and in a couple of years those species would look different.

Creation
- In the theory of creation is it believed that God had made the Earth in seven days. Those who believed in this theory are Christians and Jews. This theory is more religious and is described in the Book of Genesis. The Church feels that creationism is how we came to be in this Earth and how everything was created. They oppose the theory of evolution and even today creationism vs evolutions is the most conversational topic in the United States. Before Darwin's Theory came along nearly everyone believed that God had created us. During the 1900s it was banned from public schools in the United States. Though during the 1960s people began to teach both theories in school.

-My opinion is that I believe in both theories because there is some proof that we have evolved during millions of years. Being Christian, I believe in God and I think that he did create the universe and brought human life and animals to this Earth. I have faith in God and he does things for a reason. I believe that God meant for life on Earth to evolve and left evidence for Darwin to create his theory.
