The Validity of Creationism and Evolution

The Validity of Creationism and Evolution Abstract: This paper discusses the validity of both creation and evolution and examines whether they can interact with each other. Besides doing my own research, I have chosen to interview four people extensively involved in either Christianity or biology. I specifically picked interviewees who strongly supported either evolution or creation to get both sides of the issue. Two of the people were from United Christian Fellowship (UCF): Andrew Larratt-Smith, leader of UCF, and Ricardo Dawkins, UCF small group member. I also interviewed two biologists: Paul Matsudaira, MIT Biology professor, and Bettina Bauer, a post-doctoral fellow in the HST department. Paul considers his religious beliefs in between agnosticism and Catholic. He was baptized in the Roman Catholic church but has not thought about God extensively. Bettina is neither religious nor anti-religious. She says that if God really exists, it would not change her life. From these interviews, I hoped to gain a better understanding of creation and evolution and examine whether they can co-exist. Creationism is based on the belief that God is the intelligent Designer who created our universe and the natural things in it. It is derived from the two stories of Genesis. The first of the stories (Genesis 1:1-2:3) states that God created the heavens and the earth, light, water, vegetation, animals, and then man in the image of him. In the second account (2:4-2:9), God made the heavens and the earth, water, man from the dust, and then vegeta-tion and animals. Clearly these two accounts differ from each other in terms of order. The response I received from creationists (Andrew) was that the Bible must not always be taken literall... ... middle of paper ... ...onists want to put the hand of God behind various scientific processes, scientists cannot show that they are incorrect. His reasoning is that religion is dogmatic and not scientific in its nature. In conclusion, history has shown that religion and science can interact, and that reli gion has adjusted to the renewing knowledge of science. Therefore, the claim that science and religion are in separate spheres is not solid reasoning to avoid interrelating the two. However, religion as a whole does not need to obey scientific laws, nor can it be proved through repeatable experiments. It may never be disproved by science because its strength is gathered from the faith of its followers. Hence when scientific theories such as evolution extend itself to answer questions of why humans were created and what began life, it will ultimately fail in its attempts.

Evolution VS. Creationism
analytical essay
Since the beginning of the human race there has been a lingering question as to the origins of man and how all living things acquired their characteristics. The two main theories that arose over time were Creationism and Evolution, both of which provided very distinct answers to this question. Creationism based its answer on the idea of a supernatural power or being that created the entire universe, man and the numerous other organisms that live within it. While, Evolution theorizes that all living things have the potential to change and grow over time into something new and different. So in other words, one theory suggests that humans and all the organisms on Earth are the result of divine design, while the other indicates that they are only the result of environmental adaption and growth. However, as neither theory is without flaw and it is only through close examination that a true understanding of man’s origins can be obtained.

Evolutionists and Creationist Theories
analytical essay
Although having different perspectives on the origin of life, evolutionists and creationists can concur that the universe appears to be a fascinating and astonishing place to live. Arguments have been made pertaining to the question that many humans ask themselves, "Where did I come from?" The two ideas that arise from this type of question comes from evolution and creation. Biblical creation is the side that evolutionists are arguing against. In Genesis 1:1, the verse says, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." This verse discusses that Biblical creation is the belief that God created and designed the earth. On the other hand, evolutionists believe in Darwinian evolution, which is the belief that the origin of life existed because of the Big Bang. Because science has to be observable, measurable, and repeatable, evolutionists rely only on science for their evidences. Although science is supported by mostly facts, creationists and evolutionists both practice faith. For instance, oxygen appears to be present when humans breathe but cannot be seen by their eyes. In order to believe that the existence of oxygen appears even with no physical evidence, people must exercise faith.

The Pros And Cons Of Creationism
argumentative essay
Evolution is a theory that is refuted by the majority of creationists; creationists argue that evolution is simply a “theory” and is not supported by scientific evidence. This argument is clearly false. In order for a scientific theory to become widely accepted by the majority of the scientific world, it must be supported with facts and evidence. In a recent Gallup Poll, 55% of scientists, a majority, believed in evolution with no divine intervention. An additional 40% of scientists believed in evolution with divine intervention; only 5% of scientists believe that the earth was created by a divine power in the last 10,000 years. However, the public opinion is nearly the direct opposite. 46% of those polled believed the earth was created by a divine power in the last 10,000 years; furthermore, 40% of those polled believe in evolution with divine intervention. Only 9% of those polled believed in evolution with no divine aid. The disparity between scientists and the public is too great to be ignored; despite the overwhelmingly scientific evidence, many people still do not fully support, or believe in the theory of evolution. There is also a clear correlation between belief in evolution and belief in God. While the polls attempting to record the religious beliefs of scientists are not always reliable, it is true that the percent of scientists that believe in the divine is much lower than that of the general public. According to the Eastern religions, such as Buddhism and Hinduism, these tensions between science and religion are only a Western issue, referring to the Abrahamic religions, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Many people, including scientists, believe that the relationship between science and religion should not...

An Islamic Perspective on Evolution Versus Creation
analytical essay
Most writers today see science and religion as strong contrasting enterprises which have essentially nothing in common. Many reasons for this separation of ideas lie partly in the last few centuries. For example, when church leaders attacked Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, they made pronouncements on scientific issues in which they were incompetent to judge. Theologians now insist on careful differentiation between scientific and religious questions. This was done so as to not only avoid conflicts with science, but to clarify the distinctive characters of theological assertions. On the other hand, in Islam science and religion remain firmly linked without many conflicts and controversies.
In this essay, the author
- Explains that the influence of the theory of evolution has been felt far beyond the limits of biology. science and religion have shaped the values and ideas of western societies, making a lasting impression on societies.
- Opines that science and religion are strong contrasting enterprises which have essentially nothing in common. theologians insist on careful differentiation between scientific and religious questions.
- Argues that the relationship between science and religion cannot be portrayed as a continous retreat of theological dogma before an infalliable science.

The Supremecy of faith the Supremecy of Reason
analytical essay
The history of science has long been in conflict with religion or ¡§organized ignorance¡¨ as Dr. David Starr Jordan called in his book Science and Sciosophy. In this conflict history would reveal that science always prevailed. At times this victory was won at the cost and/or suffering of the individual who earth the nerve to present their finding to the world as court. Obstructions have been raised by men who thought the little they knew of the works and ways of the Creator was all that there was to be known. However, this insensitive response to the essential Christian Concepts provides inadequate recognition of the fact that Science and Religion may work to the same end but take different routes. My holistic view of the issue of science and religion has changed over the past 6 weeks. I realize that there is a certain harmonization of science and religion that gives humanity the abundant life engineered by Jesus Christ in the Gospel. This blending of my ethnocentric religious beliefs and the reasoning of empirical thought allowed a reinventing of viewpoint allowing my position to be transformed into something new. Which I believe would be an objective to this disciplined study. The selection of this book Science and Religion Opposing viewpoints allows the reader to take a glance at this conflict from five areas. Great Historical Debates on Science and Religion, Are Science and Religion Compatible, How did the Universe Originate, How did Life Originate and Should Ethical Values Limit Scientific Research? For the sake of brevity we will cumber you with a skeletal version of the text. The author is very clever in presenting information to provide a deeper understanding of the material and come away with an appreciation of the complex nature of the issues debated. The author was careful to mention Pitfalls to Avoid:

Essay On European Union
explanatory essay
Although the European Union consists of a large variety of institutions, the most important institution is the European Commission. Established in 1958 and based in Luxemburg and Brussels, this hybrid institution (executive and bureaucratic) “epitomizes supranationalism and lies at the center of the EU political system” (Dinan, 2010, p. 171). It has a substantial bulk of responsibilities and carries out these responsibilities with a vast number of constituents, acting as the executive for the EU. These responsibilities include anything from drafting and initiating policy to managing the financial framework of the EU, and can have a large impact on the other institutions of the EU.

argumentative essay
For the majority of human history science has been a child to religion, having to find approval from those with religious authority before their discoveries could be made public. A relationship that eventually was partially dissolved, but on certain scientific breakthroughs even today, there is a sense that religion has become the eight-hundred pound gorilla in the room. The scientific world and the world of religion have always and for the foreseeable future will be, in certain aspects, at conflict.
