Certain questions have baffled man kind for a long time. Some have divided uneducated people and scholars alike, such as the creation versus evolution argument. Since Charles Darwin's theory of evolution became prevalent, there have been people arguing for and against the evolution of man kind. Creation Theorists believe that evolution is nonsense. Evolutionists believe that the creationist view is nonsense. Let's take a brief look at the beliefs on each side of this argument.
Creation Theorists believe that the earth was made by God in six days. The account of this event can be found in the Biblical book of Genesis. This text, many Christians believe is the only source of proof needed. Many Christians also cite that there are holes in the theory of evolution, which negate its credibility.
Evolutionists believe that man has evolved over time to become what he is today. This advancement occurs by survival of the fittest, a proverbial "weeding out" of traits that don't adapt well to the environment. Evolutionists proof rests in a combination of scientific evidence and theory. Some evolutionists claim that the Biblical account is just a metaphor, and some discount the Bible entirely.
It's important to note that not every scientist or Christian falls in the same place on this argument. There are strict atheist evolutionists who think the idea of a creator is ridiculous. There are evolutionists who are agnostic. There are Christian evolutionists, and there are Christian scientists and non-Christian scientists who do not support the theory of evolution.
This is a major issue in the minds of some scientists and Christians. Many opinions have been put forth about this topic, and a lot of issue has surrounded it. This issue can sometimes get so heated that the argument becomes more emotional than factual
There are many great thinkers from top universities who have weighed in on this, and even they disagree. Needless to say, this discussion may take a while to settle. - 30535
