Creationism vs. Evolution

One of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the world is, “Where did humans come from?� This should be an interesting point of discussion because, who wouldn’t want to know how humans were created. I was introduced to this question early in my life. As I was raised I was told of an all-powerful god that created the universe, earth, and all its inhabitants. When I went to school I was exposed to the ideas of the “big bang theory� and evolution. With all these possibilities whirling through my mind, I decided to try and find the answer; were humans created from sticks and mud, or are we just sophisticated monkeys? I know with this topic in discussion, I could offend some of my readers. While writing this paper I will try and be as unbiased as possible and state negative and positive ideas of both theories. I will explore both issues with an open mind. Hopefully after this assignment I will find an answer for this problem. Then my mind will finally will have a chance to rest on this dilemma.
As I entered this assignment I figured that it would be quite easy finding many sources of information to help me as I create my draft. I first logged on to the internet and went to the ask jeeves website (http://www.ask.com/). I searched

The idea of God creating the heavens and earth seemed to me, at the time, a reasonable explanation for the predicament my mind was in. Then I thought to myself, “The idea of there being a amazing force that can just create anything it wants seems a little far fetched.” If we believe in monotheism, how do we know there aren’t many gods like mythology states? I read that creationism is where God created the universe in six twenty-four hour days, and after that all creation ceased (http://emporium.turnpike.net/C/cs/basics/index.htm ). I started to look, in the Bible, for prove that creation was the origin of humanity. Then I think, “How do I know that this is not a fictional book that some monk wrote many centuries ago?” After I thought of this, I looked on the Internet to find proof that the Bible not full of errors. I found that there are many scientific facts that are mentioned in the Bible before being recorded anywhere else. One example is in the book of Job (26:7) it states how the earth is suspended in the middle of space. Also in the book of Job, dinosaurs are mentioned and described (http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/creation.shtml). After reading of dinosaurs the idea of fossils came to mind. I decided to head to the library and read up on what Charles Darwin has to say about this subject. In his book, The Origin of Species, he states that fossil evidence is a hostile witness to his theory of evolution (The Origin of Species). He claimed that the abrupt appearance of life and lack of transitional forms was the most serious objection to his theory.

I then started to read of “The Big Bang Theory” which states, two atmospheres collided into each other and developed a
