"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day." Genesis 1:1-5
Because of recent discoveries, the science world and the Christian world have clashed, and are caught in the middle of a war of beliefs. Scientists are throwing evolution, the big bang theory, common ancestor and much more at traditionalists who believe otherwise. Nobody can deny that our world is changing, that we are changing, but that doesn't mean that we came from either a small single celled organism or evolved from monkeys. Why are there so many disputes between these two sides? Everybody has the exact same facts; it's in the interpretation of the facts where things get fuzzy. The theories of evolution and the origin of the world according to scientists are very confusing and contradictory, and much of their theories go against numerous laws of science.
Evolution according to Webster's Dictionary is simply the gradual process of development or change, and the theory that all forms of life originated by descent from earlier forms. The second part is the kicker; the part most people do not agree with.
On the other end of the spectrum is creationism, the belief in the literal interpretation of the account of the creation of the universe and of all living things related in the Bible. I believe that this is the more accurate explanation, not only because I'm Christian, but also because the theory of evolution is full of holes.
Scientists thought they had figured out how life evolved and became what it is today, but they had one problem - how did the first living organism get here?... [continues]
