Creationism vs Evolution
| shorturl.at/btLTX |
Creationism theory and evolution theory has been controversial debate for decades now. Creationism argues that God created the earth and everything in it and took six days. Evolutionists believe that the earth is much older than the Bible describes. Creationism theory explains that God created humans from dust the ground in his image and appearance, while the theory of evolution explains that humans came from apes. However, everyone has their own beliefs to respond to the theory of where the world and humans came from. This essay will explain the comparison between these two theories.

God took six days to create the world and everything in it. In the span of six days, God created the heavens, the earth, the sun, moon, water, animals, and humans. Christians believe that God created the heavens and the earth because He created the heavens, the earth, and everything in it is written in the Bible Genesis 1:1. The theory of creation can only be accepted by people who have faith in God because the issue of faith cannot be questioned and proven. Creation shows that all forms of life as we see it today were created in an extraordinary way by God.
Evolutionists assume that the earth and everything in it existed before the Bible. According to evolutionists, the earth began approximately 4.5 billion years ago, with the explosion of life beginning around 55 million years ago. To evolutionists, the starting of life began as inorganic molecules that underwent a natural transformation to become organic molecules. Evolution is defined as the development by natural causes of all organisms, those today and those yesterday, from other forms probably ultimately much simpler and originally perhaps from non-living substances. Charles Darwin is the founder of this theory of evolution and he strongly believes that the earth and its contents exist by itself and through natural selection, it was formed with this world.
Human beings coming to be on the earth is another big topic among creationists and evolutionists. Creationist live faithfully by the belief that God made Adam from dust, in God’s image. The Bible states “The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living person (Genesis 2:7). Eve was later made from the ribcage of Adam as a companion. Adan and Eve are the beginning of the human species race, and from them, all human beings descend. Evolutionists have a different view of how human beings came into the world, believing that we have evolved from other species, specifically the primates. Fossil records have shown that Homo sapiens have evolved from four-legged creatures swinging through trees to two-legged creatures that walk on the earth. Fossils of prehistoric humans show a remarkable resemblance to the primates, all the way from the jaw and forehead, to the torso and feet. In conclusion, Creationism and evolution have very different viewpoints of how the earth and human beings began.
POV
Many people in the world today have different beliefs so that some will believe in the theory of evolution and some will believe in the theory of creationism. As someone who was born into a Christian family, my life is centered on faith in God. I believe that God created life and everything in six days. Sometimes we are doubted by the theory of evolution, because of that we have to study the Bible more and believe fully in God so that we believe that God created the earth and everything in it.
Conclusion
Creationism and evolution have two very different viewpoints of how the earth and human beings began, Creationism is based on the belief that the Bible is a credible source, which gives the story of creation. Evolution believes that human beings are a result of evolution, beginning with simple molecules to today’s modern person. This is a hard topic to take a definite stand on since faith is abstract, yet a way of life for Christians, and science is concrete. But for sure I want all of us to believe in God so that we can accept that God created us.
