Creationism

Traditionally creationism has roots in many religions.

There are various forms of creationism in many cultures.

One of the most popular tenets in cultures around the world

are variation of pair of male and female that parent the

entire earth of humans. They indicate generally that there is

first cause of humans and animals, usually as a result of an

omnipotent being. The Christian version of creationism, that

preach God as the sole creator of everything, and that

everything that we see today, are as they were when

originally made. This view of the world has been perpetuated

for many years by the Christian churches. However, science

has become the most imposing threat on these beliefs.

Specifically, the Darwinian theories of evolution, with its

concise, iconaclastic, logic, devastated the simplistic

creationism.

     The Darwinian theories were never complex in theory, and

somewhat intuitive. His theory of evolution was derived after

voyaging on the HMS Beagle 1831 through 1836.  The study of

specimens from the voyage convinced Darwin that modern

species had evolved from a few earlier ones. He documented

the evidence and first presented his theories on evolution to

a meeting of scientists in 1858. In most cases, according to

Darwin, no two members of any species are exactly alike. Each

organism has an individual combination of traits, and most of

these traits are inherited. Darwin pointed out that gardeners

and farmers commonly developed special kinds of plants and

animals by selecting and breeding organisms that had desired

traits. He believed that a similar kind of selective process

took place in nature. Darwin called this process natural

selection, or the survival of the fittest. He showed that

living things commonly produce many more offspring than are

necessary to replace themselves. The earth cannot possibly

support all these organism, and so they must compete for such

necessities as food and shelter. Their lives also are

threatened by animals that prey on them, by unfavorable

weather and by other environmental conditions.  Darwin

suggest that some members of a species have traits that aid

them in this struggle for life. Other members of the species

have less favorable straits and therefore are less likely to

survive.  On the average, the members with favorable traits

live for a longer period of time and produce more offspring

than do others. They also pass on the favorable traits to

their young. The unfavorable traits eventually die out. In

different places and at different time some traits will be

favored and others will be eliminated. In this way, varieties

of organisms appear and gradually become separate species.

     Darwinian theories have been controversial since the

very conception. His theories of evolution through natural

selection set off a bitter controversy among biologists,

religious leaders, and the genera public. Many people thought

Darwin had implied that human beings descended from monkeys,

and they angrily criticized his revolutionary ideas.  But

such noted British scientists as Thomas Henry Huxley and

Alfred Russel Wallace supported Darwin's work, and many

groups eventually accepted his theories. These theories, and

the facts that supported them, gave biologists new insight

into the origin of living things and the relationship among

various species. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural

selection stimulated studies in biology, particularly in

paleontology and compa...
