Evolution Case
How was man made? We all wonder the same question, but we all have different opinions. The creationism vs. evolution debate has been extremely controversial over the years. Most of the time creationism is based on religion and beliefs, and evolution is based on historical facts that are arranged into theories. I’m going to tell you why I believe in the evolution theory.
According to Encyclopædia Britannica, evolution is the theory that various types of plants, animals, and other living things on Earth have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations. Creationism is the belief that matter, the various forms of life, and the world were created by God out of nothing. Intelligent design is the theory that that living organisms were created in more or less their present forms by an “intelligent designer”.
One piece of evidence that supports evolution is Darwin’s natural selection. His process of natural selection had four components with consisted of variation, inheritance, high rate of population growth, and differential survival and protection. A good example of this is Darwin’s finches. He had also come up with a few fundamental ideas that supported his theory of evolution.
