what is some support for the theories of evolution and creationism?

Question

It's for a school project. I already have the project done, I just want to see what everybody else thought and said. Also, you can tell me which one you believe and why. I don't want any rediculous answers please.

Answer 1

some organisms were found to evolve from a form to another. fossils show, for example, giraffe neck was short thousand years ago, but now it is long. it happens for giraffe to survive as the environment changes.

Answer 2

There is no scientific support for creationism. Creationism is a religious belief. The people who claim to have evidence of creationism are violating the tenet of science that a hypothesis must be testable. For example, I might claim that there is life on a planet of Alpha Centauri, but this cannot be a scientific claim because we have no way of finding out if I'm right or not. Similarly, since we have no evidence of a Creator, and a lot of evidence that life and the universe came about through natural principles, Creationism cannot be scientific.

Answer 3

The project should be relatively simple. All the scientific evidence supports evolution. None supports creationism.

Answer 4

these sites will give you a small indication of the evidential support for evolutionary theory.

as far as i know there is no peer reviewed and accepted scientifc evidence for creationism, but that does not mean there is none, just that i have not been able to find any. if any scientific evidence had been available that disproved evolution, then the theory would have been totally rejected by the scientific community, that is the ethos of scientific methodology. once a single verifiable fact disproves a theory, then that theory is invalidated. the only proof for creationism is the holy texts that form the basis for creationist beliefs. and remember each religion and cult has its own creation myths, and if you are using myth as a basis for proof then you must accept that every myth is as viable. for example the aztec myth of creation should carry as much weight as the biblical one as they are only based on passed down stories.

Answer 5

There isn't any evidence for creationism. Additionally it's a hypothesis, not a theory. A scientific theory would require observed evidence and peer reviewed paper work. You can't just sneak past that sorta thing.

Answer 6

All scientific testing proves that evolution existed, that the Earth is about 5 billion years old, and life started about 1 billion years ago. The theory of Evolution by natural selection is one of the more robust and elegant of all theories. Every branch of science can be used to support it, from carbon dating analysis, DNA analysis, forensics, medicine, dentistry etc etc. The only way it can be dismissed is by ignoring all the evidence.

I'd like you to meet our relatives:

Australopithecus ramidus - 5 to 4 million years ago
Australopithecus afarensis - 4 to 2.7 million years ago
Australopithecus africanus - 3.0 to 2.0 million years ago
Australopithecus robustus - 2.2 to 1.0 million years ago
Homo habilis - 2.2 to 1.6 million years ago
Homo erectus - 2 to 0.4 million years ago
Homo sapiens - 400,000 to 200,000 years ago
Homo sapiens neandertalensis - 200,000 to 30,000 years ago
Homo sapiens sapiens - 130,000 years ago to present

Before them, between 5 and 10 million years ago, there was our common ancestor with the apes. This is what is romantically called "The missing link".

To respond to an answer above concerning monkeys. Humans did not evolve from monkeys, that is why they are still here. Both monkeys and humans had a common ancestor, probably about twenty million years ago, which then diverged into ape-like mammals and monkeys. The ape-like animal then diverged into modern apes, (like chimpanzees and gorillas) and humans. Humans and apes are too similar for this not to have happened in this way.
It just makes sense.

Answer 7

support for the thoery of evolution is the skull of monkeys is the same us the first persons or people lived millions of years ago and a strong support for theory of creation and a great weakness of theory of evolution is just a simple question: "why is it that monkeys didnt changed as humans??" they are just dying as monkeys and yet they didnt become humans???

im my own personal opinon, i believed the theory of creation than the evolution not just because of religious things but also because of those evidences that really make the evolution theory weak. Just like the evidence that i have told you. Its just one of many questions asked for that theory and then they cannot prove the reason why monkeys arent changing as humans.

thats why i believed the theory of creation...
