- "The Origin Of Humanityò
-
-
- 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.
