Creation And Evolution Essay, Research Paper

The majority of people in this world believe that a spiritual being created

earth. In fact, "most religions and cultures believe the universe was

created by a ‘creative hand,’ either a sky god or some other physical

object" (Encarta 1). Think of it, as a trial to see which will win,

creation or evolution. It has been the most argued debate in all of history, but

creationism is more logical than evolution. To first understand what creation is

about, we have to know what creation is. The Bible defines creation as the

action by God that brought the universe and all its contents into being. The

Bible also states, "God created great whales and every living creature that

moveth, and so God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he

him; male and female created he them" (Genesis 1:21, 27). To Doug LaPointe,

the author of Top Evidences against the Theory of Evolution, there are nine

articles of evidence pointing weaknesses in evolution, or strong points in

creation. The first evidence is that there are no links between the fossil

record and present times; therefore, there is nothing to show that evolution

actually happened. Second, that natural selection cannot advance an organism to

a higher order. The third being that although evolutionists believe life just

came about, matter resulted from nothing, and humans evolved from animals, all

of these are against scientific and natural understandings. Fourth, even though

evolutionists present them as if they were, the hominids’ bones and skull

records, for example the famous Lucy, the finds are unrevealing and

inconsistent. The fifth and sixth articles of evidence are the nine out of 12

hominids that evolutionists use are really extinct apes, and the other three are

modern human beings and not part ape. This would conclude that all of the twelve

‘hominids’ are something other than hominids and are not half-human, half-ape.

Evidence seven and eight show that natural selection has practical, social, and

logical inconsistencies. The last evidence says that the rock strata finds are

better explained by a universal flood than by evolution, which would show yet

more proof in the Bible (LaPointe 1-2). Michael Behe, author of the recent

bestseller Darwin’s Black Box, states, "I was amazed that people believe in

evolution when there was this clear argument against it" (Behe 3). At first

Darwinism was taught at schools, but there were so many flaws that these ideas

were turned down, and a different form of evolution was taught. The new form was

then taught along with a type of scientific creation (Encarta 2). This shows

that schools feel that Darwin was wrong, and Darwin is evolution’s top scholar.

In order to disprove a way of thinking we must first know what we are trying to

disprove. The definition of evolution is the complex process by which living

organisms originated on earth and have been diversified and modified through

sustained changes in form and function (Encarta 2). Thomas Robert Malthus first

stated that the human population was growing too fast for the food supply. This,

he said, "Is regulated by disease, famine, and war" (Infopedia 1).

Darwin applied this to animals and plants and came up with the theory of

evolution by natural selection. His theory stated that the children of a species

intensely compete for survival. Those young that survive to produce the next

generation tend to be embodying favorable natural variations and these

variations are passed on by heredity. Therefore, each generation will improve

adaptively over the preceding generations, and this gradual and continuos

process is the source of the evolution of the species (Infopedia 1-2). The

notion that populations of organisms can be transformed over generations into

descendant population of different kinds has been suggested repeatedly since the

early-recorded history of ideas, but if you trace all the species back to their

origin, you would get one object. Now the real part of this argument is right

here. How did that one object come into being? It couldn’t have happened by mere

chance. It did not always exist so there had to be nothing before it. If there

was nothing before it, how was it created? Now some would like to say that it

was created by the Big Bang, but if you look at the Big Bang theory, it is

suggesting that the one object did not just appear that it was created by the

Big Bang. This is a contradiction because the Big Bang is supposed to have just

‘happened’ (Encarta 1). The other contradiction to this statement is that by the

laws of science matter has to come from other matter, but the Big Bang theory

used by scientists states that the first matter just happened at the Big Bang

and came from nothing. Now that we have the facts, we should be able to look at

it from an atheistic point of view, and be able to easily crush the argument

that the earth might have just happened and evolved into present day. This

argument without a doubt shows proof of a Creator. There had to be a Creator

because even by the scientific or atheistic point of view, it is not possible

for something to come from nothing. So that something, that existence came from

God, the Creator.
