What is your topic?

I am talking about creation vs. evolution. This controversy is about how the earth, humanity, and the life came to be. Creationism is the belief that the world was made by a supernatural being. On the other hand, evolution is the belief that the earth and humans developed from each other over the course of millions of years.

II. NEED STEP (Why do we need to hear about your topic? What’s the problem?)
A. What is the problem?
You chose your topic because there is a problem that needs to be talked about
Explain what the problem is
The problem is that although people believe in creationism, their not exactly sure why. There isn’t evidence or facts that explain that creationism is true. With evolution, we have proof and facts that this could be a very good possibility. Evolution goes by science. Science is known to find the truth. It goes by factual evidence whereas religious explanations go by “intelligent design.” Intelligent design is the theory that the earth and all matter in it was put there by an “intelligent entity.” Just like the theory that

    Water is wet, the sun is bright, and people age - there are some facts that every human being can agree on, so why then are we so split over whether we were brought into this world through evolution or by an almighty creator? How exactly did our species come into existence? To me, the answer is obvious. Through proof of historical evidence, impossible odds and mathematical improbabilities, archaeological discoveries, proven predictions, inexplicable complexities, etcetera, I can safely conclude that creationism is the solution to the question that has plagued humanity for generations.…

    According to The Oxford Dictionary, creationism is defined as the belief that the universe and living organisms originate from specific acts of divine creation, as in the biblical account, rather than by natural processes such as evolution. The Oxford Dictionary also defines intelligent design as the theory that life, or the universe, cannot have arisen by chance and was designed and created by some intelligent entity. Tension between scientists and theologians arose in the 18th century, when it became obvious to most researchers that geological processes were exceedingly slow, and must have been accomplished over incredibly long periods of time. These…

    Evolution and Creationism have been a heated debate in the school system for years. There is a lot more evidence shows that Evolution is better than Creationism but some people don’t believe that. Like how the Earth was created slow and instead of fast like the Bible says. And how plant and animal life evolved more slowly than the Bible saying that God created the plant and animal life on Earth. But people need to open there eyes and see that the Bible is just one big story and Evolution is history and is still making it today. So Evolution will always be on top of how life got started.…

    Though some states do teach both and very few teach how evolution is wrong, the majority of public school students in the US are taught evolution. Creation is a belief and evolution is a scientific theory. Different published works will say contrasting things about this controversy and how well, scientifically speaking the two sides stack against each other. Neither creation nor evolution can be proven using the scientific method because they can’t be tested. All that is left to do is take the evidence left by both sides and compare them to how well they fit into the science and history of the…

    For years, there has been the argument whether or not evolution or creationism was more probable. Creationists like John D. Morris has “called attention to the fact that small changes do not lead to true evolution.” (Morris) Yet, famous evolutionists such as Richard Dawkins always asks, “Do you seriously mean to tell me you believe that all life was created within a week?” (Dawkins) when creationists try to explain that the World was brought to existence in 7 days. Evolution exists because there is hard evidence, such as fossils and petrified impressions that the world slowly came to be over millions of years.…
