The Ongoing Debate of Evolution Against Creationism

Why are we here? Who, or what put us here? Why does everything exist rather than nothing? Were we created by a divine being? Or were we a Universal Lottery? These are questions humanity has long sought the answers to, and all these questions have been linked to a much more universally bigger question; is there a God? Civilizations such as Egyptian, Mayan, Chinese, Greek, Roman and a handful of others so broad you could not list without boring an audience have all believed in God or God(s) from Odin the all-father, Zeus the lightning chief of all Greece, Kali The Hindu Destroyer of evil forces, to Jesus Christ the principle figure of Catholic, Christian, Protestant and a plethora of numerous other belief systems, have all believed in a God to any which extent.

The AtheismVs Creationism debate has been something that we have pondered for hundreds of years. There was a point where it was commonly accepted that we were here as part of God's or God(s) plan. And then there was a day when scholars, philosophers, and commoners recognized there were two different choices that could be made. This recognition of choice for two different belief systems was indoctrinated by an English man, and the name of this man was Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin put a new spin on Philosophy into what we now, more than a hundred years later call; "The Evolution Vs Creationism" debate.

Evolution's predecessor was developed into a theory for the origin of life by a man named Jean Baptiste Lamarck, he proposed what is now known as Lamarckism (or Lamarckian Inheritance) which "is the idea that an organism can pass on characteristics that it has acquired during its lifetime to its offspring (also known as heritability of acquired characteristics or soft inheritance." He explained this by using a Giraffe as an example; "believing that the long necks of giraffes evolved as generations of giraffes reached for ever higher leaves." The theory of Evolution purports that living creatures adapt to their environment and the strongest survive to later reproduce, and after many generations the species continually evolves gaining traits. (Barthélemy-Madaule, Madeleine (1982).

Lamarck, the Mythical Precursor: A Study of the Relations between Science and Ideology. English translation by M. H. Shank. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. ISBN 0-262-02179-X. LCCN 82010061. OCLC 8533097. Translation of Lamarck, ou, Le mythe du précurseur (1979))

While Evolution is a view accepted by many Atheists and Agnostics, many people, (more than 46%) of Americans still believe in God, and 35% of Americans still believe in Evolution where God intervened to cause this process, and 15% believe in Evolution WITHOUT the belief in a creator. ("Creationism vs Evolution." Creationism vs Evolution - Difference and Comparison | Diffen. N.p., n.d. Web. 07 Dec. 2016.)

Many differentiating views of Theism include "Young Earth Creationism and Gap Creationists believe that humanity was created by God, but while Young Earth Creationism claims the Earth is less than 10,000 years old and was reshaped by the flood, Gap Creationism claims the world is the scientifically accepted age. Progressive creationism believes humanity was directly created by God, intelligent design and theistic evolution include a variety of beliefs based on the idea that divine intervention led to something that may appear like evolution" ("Creationism vs Evolution." Creationism vs Evolution - Difference and Comparison | Diffen. N.p., n.d. Web. 07 Dec. 2016.)

While different in many forms Creationism and Evolution have many similar properties and beliefs that make each unique in their own way. While trying to be objective in my research and writing one side in particular claims the other rejects science when that is not at all true. Evolutionists and fossil records claim that Earth is more than six thousand years old, while that may be true our perception of time is not. "The rate of time is not constant, the rate at which humanity tells time is constant" so there could be vast differences in the data revolving around Earths age.

In addition, liberal Pope Francis (I'm paraphrasing) has said "Evolution requires the (Creation) of beings that evolve." Which is a position that most Americans have held for quite a while, according to many differentiating sites and their data, this position of Americans is only going to continue growing. One thing that evolutionists critique Theism for is that their theory is scientifically untestable, which could be why Atheist Evolutionists chose to ignore the principals of Religion all together regardless if people chose to believe in a mix of their faith and the Science that Atheists hold dear while rejecting something that is "scientifically untestable."

One thing that can be said is everybody is wrong, Dr Michaio Kaku in a debate between Creationists and Atheists can be seen watching until the end of both sides positions where he then approached the stage and stated "I think you're both wrong." He followed; "" on one side we have my esteemed colleges who are 100% certain the universe is pointless, meaningless, and there is no God. On the other side we have colleges who are 100% certain the universe has a point, has a meaning and there is a God my personal point of view is their both wrong.

We have a candidate for the mind of God, because everything is based on strings, in string theory which is what I do for a living, is the theory of cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace." In short; Dr Michiao Kaku believes God is and just is; and everything is God's personal music that has just been and was been forever.
