How life has gotten to where it is today; there are a few different main ideas, some being more genuine than others. Even though human evolution is genuine science, there are many religions that seem to disagree with human evolution. Intelligent design and creationism seem to be the biggest of the opposers of evolution. These ideas have a few valid reasons why they don’t agree with evolution. Each person is entitled to form their own opinion, as would those with an individualistic culture for their background.
Creationism, intelligent design, theistic evolution, and atheistic evolution are a few of the main opposers on the idea of human evolution. Some of these ideas seem stretched and don’t have solid proof backing them up, but then again there is no set fact that human evolution is the answer either. In a place like the United States, we are able to form our own opinions and have our own thoughts. With that …show more content…

The bible shows one way and the different artifacts found demonstrates an opposing idea. Religious beliefs are a huge part of the opposing believers when it comes to evolution. People are finding it hard to believe some of the facts when it indeed is going directly against their book of word, the bible. Although, there are a few different religious groups who are indeed beginning to accept some ideas of evolution. The group that seems to best define this group's ideas is the idea of theistic evolution. This group's main ideas are that the earth is much older than the bible states it being and that the god created the life forms that we see today from prior, now extinct, forms of life. Although there are some groups like this who seem to find a happy medium with evolution and religion, most religions can't seem to accept

Today it seems as if there is a price to pay when talking about this topic in public, especially in school classrooms, as many teachers and parents argue that the Bible’s literal interpretation of human development is supreme. Challenges facing the theory were found relevant in 23 states as well as seven foreign countries. In 2004 a challenge was brought up by the Kansas State Board of Education.

    In addition, scientists use the homologous structure as evidence for evolution by using structures with different appearances and functions that derived from the same body parts in a common ancestor. Furthermore, natural selection is evidence for evolution because for example, when Darwin collected birds they were a closely related group of distinct species, but the different beak shapes were related to food gathering. Artificial selection is another piece of evidence for evolution in which operates by favoring individuals with certain phenotypic traits allowing them to reproduce and pass their genes to the next generation. Overall many biologists accepted Darwin’s theories but there are some objections such as how evolution is not demonstrated, no fossil intermediates, the intelligent design argument, evolution violating the second law of thermodynamics, proteins are too improbable, the irreducible complexity argument, and how natural selection does not imply

    The education system of this nation is biased. Evolution has been taught as Scientific fact for many years and creationism has been treated as just a religious belief and not worthy to be taught. Even though evolutionism is also a belief that has yet to be proven, it is taught as fact in every science class in America. The Supreme court has deemed that requiring educators to teach evolution and also teach creationism unconstitutional, but declaring that was merely a violation of equality and freedom of religion. (Epperson v. Arkansas) Creationism can’t be taught as a response to the theory of evolution, nor does creationism meet the faith of scientists.

    John Morris. Creationism is religious, but no more than evolution. Because to believe in evolution, is to believe there is no God, but you believe in science. To believe that evolution is the only theory with scientific fact, is totally untrue. Not to mention that evolution breaks many scientific laws which include; the second law of thermodynamics, the law of cause and effect, and the law of biogenesis.

At first this theory was mocked, this was because during the 19th century majority of the people in Europe especially England were practicing Christians and they despised the theory because it questioned the power of god and if he created all life on earth or not. However as time progressed this theory started to become more widely accepted as science had improved over the years and scientists could find links between humans and our ancestors that we may have originated from. Obstacles for the theory were hat during the 19th century science was not as advance as it is in the present day and also they didn’t have the technology to prove that humans had links to ancestors before.

    Students are encouraged to form their own opinions and think open-mindedly based on the information presented to them, yet in the topic of life’s origins, they are no longer being afforded this opportunity because of the ban on the teaching of creationism. Creationism should be taught in schools because it does hold validity with several well-respected scientists and utilizes evidence observed by scientific studies to accurately support its main aspects. Critics often dismiss creationism as a hoax that lacks serious thought and accreditation from accomplished scientists. However, several well-respected scientists agree with the theory of creationism as a rational explanation for the

The evolutionists believe that everything has evolved from similar ancestors, and over time they changed into the different species we have today. Creationists believe that everything that is on the earth was put here by a higher being that put all of the complexity and variation of the animals that are here today. I believe that everything that on the earth today was created by an intelligent being because evolution is just a theory, evolution is no longer happening, and it is unscientific based on the scientific method.

    The geologic column holding the fossil record signifies long periods of time, and many generations of organisms. Because man did not emerge until later in the fossil record, evolutionists believe that many generations of organisms existed and became extinct many years before mans arrival, so before Adam and his sin (Theistic Evolution). This idea quickly reduces the credibility of the Bible and therefore is foundation of this theory. I found this theory of theistic evolution to be very interesting. To me, at first glance this theory seemed to be a way for modern scientists to comply with ideas of evolution as well as keep their religious beliefs.
