With the discovery of many
different fossil of the Homo family, it certain that human did evolve from an
ape like creature. In the creation story it said that God created everything in
7 days. It can't be used literally but still does not provides enough
information about creation to explain everything. The creation story can explain
how the first creatures was formed but that is about the only logical thing in
the story. The existence of God is debatable and thus the creation story does
not have any solid proof to be a valid theory. The creation story also says
everything was created in 7 days but evidence shows that the earth is ever
changing. There are many contradiction between the Creation story and the Earth.
For example.
We know for a fact that life on earth changes overtime in response
to the ever changing environment. The creation story could be used to help
further develop Darwin theory of evolution. The creation story does not
explained how life evolved from survival of the fittest, it does not provides a
logical explanation of the evolutionary process these creatures took, and what
happen before life existed. Evolution can't explain certain aspect of how life
came to be. There are many scientists that disagree with Darwin views on
evolutions. The reasons that scientists disagree is because they think the
fossil record shows that there were 'jumps' in evolution that Darwin's idea does
not explain.
The jumps does not occur often but is
still there. The fossil record was consider inaccurate by some scientist since
it shows the natural selection side of the story. The other scientist say that
the major changes, macro evolution, that bring about new species come in
'jumps'. (Evolution & Creation Pg. 148) The jumps theory does not have enough
evidence to be widely accepted, however is still consider one of the major
theory in how life become so diverse on earth. Creation and intervention are all
non valid theories of how life came to be on earth.
Evolution is the only theory
that have major evidences to back it up. The question of which theories is
correct is base upon opinions of others. Evolution no doubt did occur and that
is the reason why there are so much diversity of life on earth. Human and other
modern day creatures all show characteristics of creatures in the past. The main
reason people reject evolution is because they don't believe they could be
related to a more primitive creatures because they are consider inferior. The
theory of evolution is the best theory for life on earth and unless more
evidences suggest other wises, it will most likely be a fact instead of a
theory.
