Evolution vs. Creation

The difference between evolution and creation is that evolution has proof behind it while creation is a lot of faith. Eventhough, a lot of religous people do believe that whatever is in the bible is a fact. They are relying on something that they werent there to witness. Although no one from today was there to witness cavemen, there are fossils and DNA that help scientists look right. Its hard to choose which side is right, especially because they both seem to be. If you feel like God has helped you through out your life then you want to go with the religious side. If your just someone who needs proof then ofcourse you're going to go the scientific way.
Both sides have good points.Evolution states that all living organisms come from a common ancestor.Overtime the living organisms changed into what they needed to be to survive in their own enviroments. This is where natural selections comes in. Natural selection meant that if an animal needed to grow wings to survive it would. However, not all animals were able to change, proving that they could not be the strongest.It was indeed, the survival of the fittest.This didnt change the fact that we all come from a common ancestor. This just meant we all had different survival techniques that made is into the living organisms we are today. This is why certain species look similiar to others. Evolution has always been easy to proof with fossils but with new technology there has always been new ways to prove. For example, gel electrophorosis.
The religious side states that all living things and humanity came from God. The religious idea has been banned in schools all over America. Since they dont feel they should get children into new ideas, then what they are taught at home. According to Christianity, God worked long and hard for 6 days creating Earth. Earth's elements, humans and animals. On the 7th day he rested from all the work. The proof that the church had to back themselves up with is Jesus and his disciples. How they made sure that everything that happen was written down to pass down from century to century. Most people dont think its right to just believe in what someone wrote. But other people arent because they have a very stong faith.
Both sides would probably battle for a long time. You can believe in monkeys that evolved to us humans or an almighty God. A lot of people believe that creationism is there just to explain the unexplainable, they could be wrong or they could be right. Who's to know for sure??
