"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.
