The Origin Of Humanity
We live on a planet believed to be 4.5 billion years of age with
millions of people covering all parts of it. Where did they come from? Did
the whole human population originate from one of people or were we placed
here and then improved or changed by an intervention? I believe that
humanity on planet earth was created by evolution.
Both the creationist and interventionist theories seem to far
fetched to be accountable theories for the creation of humanity on planet
earth. There are a lot more questions that remain unanswered such as if
spacemen put us on earth why didn't they bother to teach humans anything?
And if the creationist theory were accurate why can't God control natural
disasters on his planet? He is so clever to create everything known to
mankind why doesn't he make the perfect world if he had that much
control?
There seems to be quite a bit more sustantial evidence on earth to
support the theory of evolution. The evidence is holds up more because
actual samples of fossils have been collected and scientifically tested
using a method called carbon dating to determine the age of the fossils.
Which can then be examined and placed along a timeline. The time periods
show slight differences in bone structure showing what is hypothesized to
be the human evolving.
Evolving from what though? The theory of evolution states that
creatures change overtime to suit their surroundings. This is called
environmental adaptation. The more a creature can adapt to it's
environment the greater chance it has of living and show an increase in
population called survival of the fittest. A theory developed by a
scientist nammed Charles Darwin who had conducted extensive research into
the environmental adaptions of animals, for example the adaptation of
the galapagos turtles from short neck to long neck so they could reach
their food. This theory helps to prove the theory that humans evolved from
apes so they could increase their chances of survival.
The creationist theory is mearly pen and paper whereas the
evolutionary theory is actual living proof that humans did evolve from
apes and why the environmental adaptations have made humans the dominant
creatures on earth.
