Evolution vs Creationism
My roommate came in from anthropology class two weeks ago crying because she didn’t know if she believed in God anymore. They had discussed Evolution that night and apparently had lots of proof that this theory is true. She wanted me to give her reasons why she should continue believing that God created man, which is Creationism, but I was stumped because the beauty of believing in God is that it’s done by faith. That night I decided to get as much information on Creationism not only for my benefit, but for my roommates, as well as you, my classmates, so that you may have a better understanding of this highly confusing issue. In doing so, I will share some basic, but very important facts that I found supporting creationism. Many scientists now suggest that chimpanzees and humans have a common ancestor. The population of that common ancestor were separated from each other, and evolved into different species, over time, through natural selection. This doesn’t make much sense due to the fact that humans are a much more advanced species. Chimps intelligence level is relatively retarded, so how could evolution explain the advancements of humans? I will now go through several major differences
Among the obvious differences is our physical appearance. If we actually evolved from a monkey, it would mean our inner ear bones were restructured, our spinal cord opening was relocated, our rib cage was restructured, we had added spinal curvature, body muscle composition was changed, our pelvis was reshaped, our lower legs were altered, joint surfaces were enlarged, and our foot was restructured. Wow, that is a lot of change! This fact doesn’t seem to fit in with the “survival of the fittest” theory. There are plenty of other animals who have limited communication capabilities, but haven’t evolved into another species! A human canine tooth is small, peg-like, and doesn’t protrude from the tooth row. In contrast, chimp canines are much larger, robust, and protrude far above their tooth row. There are plenty of other little differences in hands, feet, and so on, but I’ve only discussed the major differences. Now that you have some basic facts about the differences in monkeys and humans, I hope that you will be able to draw your own conclusions about what you believe concerning the theory of evolution. And maybe, you will be able to help out a little more than I did, if your roommate or f
