Difference Between Creationism And Evolution

Even before the 20th century, the debate over creationism versus evolution had already been taking place and was further intensified when Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859 and The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex in 1871. The first describes and explores the concept of natural selection by which species are able to survive the changes in their environment through adaptation, while the latter expounds the concept of evolutionary theory and how it applies to human evolution with details of sexual selection, a form of biological adaptation interconnected with natural selection (Religious Tolerance 2011). Both the creationism and evolution theory provide explanations about how the world came to be. Their difference, however, is that evolution has more flaws than the other, while creationism gives the more plausible interpretation. The theory of evolution claims that all species came from a common ancestor. This means that it was once possible for a nonliving thing to turn into a living thing and vice versa. Organisms change in time as a biological response to the changes in the environment. Genes are modified thus making them appear different from what they originally looked like. This process happens in a very slow way over a long period of time. Slowly, but surely. One example that this theory provides is the evolution of man. According to this, humans originated from ape-like ancestors and the evidence of
