Evolution VS. Creationism
Creationism - This basically implies the a higher power (mainly God) created the world and humanity in six days and rested on the seventh. Now, here are the problems with this theory.
1) The main factor in this theory, God, only exists when people place their faith in him. Therefore, for those who don't, he does not exist, thus the theory is flawed.
2) The fossils found in the ground. Fossils prove the existance of species that existed long before the estimated time that God created humanity. Pro-creationists say in their defense that the bones are there because God took the soil of other planets and combined them together to create Earth. But if that is the case, where did those other planets come from? If God, who existed before anything else, was able to create those other planets out of nothing, than he would do the same with Earth.
Evolution - This theory implies that humanity evolved from species through a span of millions of years, and that the universe was due to the Big Bang billions of years ago. Now time for the problems with this theory.
1) The evolutionary tree that is supposed to chart how every species from the ancient days of Earth evolved into the species that exist now. The problem with this is that there are too amny gaps that have not been filled in. Of course, many scientists say it will only be a matter of time until they have enough evidence to fill those gaps in.
2) Many people just don't want to believe that we evolved from monkies. Yea, those primitive mammals that everyone sees throwing their feces at eachother while living in a cage at the zoo.
The verdict: I'm going to have to go with evolution. Evolution just has much more going for it than creationism, and I'm not going to place my existance on a theory that requires faith to make it work.
