Evolution vs Creation


In our current society, some people believe in evolution and others believe in the creation. Evolution is the scientific reason that people evolve and mutate depending on the environment. Creationism is the belief that Earth and people were created by gods, and that is where religions are formed.
Darwin's Theory of Evolution states, that everything descended from one ancestor. Those ancestors migrated to different places with different environments usually in look for food. Darwin explains that a species is forced to change when migrating to a different environment. Darwin did a study on finches living in the Galapagos Island. He believed that in order to eat, the finches had to be able to break seed that were grown on the island with their beaks. The birds that were best suited for that particular environment with the big seeds, would survive and reproduce. After that, the new traits that the birds had developed, would accumulate and a new form of species would produce. That is how Darwin believes the evolution works.
Evolution is more believed by scientists than creationism due to actual research, fossils and observations. Evidence shows that the bone structure of the wings of a bird, the hands of a human and the flaps of a whale are all similar and have a resemblance, even though they have different functions.
Creationism is the presumption that the world was formed in their genuine way by a god. It is more of a literal belief because in the bible it states in the Book of Genesis that the world was created in a matter of 6 days. The bible would be the publication in which the Jewish and the Christians believe in. The Qu'ran is the document the Muslim believe in and follow. The Qu'ran says that god created the people and the Earth itself.
