Evolution Assignment for Biology

We had to do an assignment for Biology 151 due on Friday about evolution and how it fits in with creationism.  It doesn't.  I think it's a stupid topic to discuss and this new professor we will have (starting Friday) has officially made everyone hate her.  Don't get me wrong, I really like her and she seems really nice, but that's only because I know her from lab.

Anyways, my views on evolution.  It's real.  It happened.  Everyone has their own beliefs, get over it if you don't like them.

For your perusal, I have included my evolution assignment that I just wrote right now.

My personal point of view is that creationism and evolution both strive to explain the unexplainable and choosing between them is a moot point.  Darwin’s theory of natural selection entirely destroys the idea of creationism.  In the bible, whether you read the first creation story or the second, man and animals were created distinctly separate.  The only animal created from another animal was Eve who was taken from Adam’s rib.  As no one knows what God’s image is, besides the fact that humans were made in it, one can assume God looks just like a human and they are distinct from animals.  Thus, Darwin’s theory discounts humans as being in God’s image.

The value of the Bible is what one puts into it.  There are many laws in Leviticus no one follows anymore, but as a people Christians still put value in the Bible.  If, in fact, the Bible is incorrect about the age of the Earth, does it matter since so many other facts have been discounted?

If a person believed the Earth is only 6,000 years old, they clearly do not understand natural sciences in the least part.  If they do not truly understand the sciences, their view will be skewed and the scientific community has no reason to take part in their tomfoolery.  A person will believe what they wish to believe.  As psychological sciences have found, belief perseverance will occur and said person will continually find information that contributes to their belief and will forget or negate information against it.

Creationism has been trying to refute evolution since its inception, but until there is an answer everyone can agree on, neither side is truly wrong.
