creation vs evolution

Imagine being a born again Christian and being told born again people are feeble minded and need to believe the past can be forgiven to cope with a bad childhood or just follow what there parents teach them. Now imagine being an atheist and hearing from a born again believer that you would have to be so ignorant to not believe in a God, just look at the Earth and you know there has to be a creator with how systematic everything is. 

If you were in either one of those positions you would feel personally attacked because they just bluntly called you stupid for believing what you believe. This is one of the many reasons why Christians and atheists have one of the greatest divides in the United States. Since both sides view each other as dumb or incapable of using truth they are both close minded and prejudice. Now neither side is this true for all since I know plenty of atheists and Christians that get along but it should be pretty prevalent that a Darwin fish or a Jesus fish eating a Darwin fish isn't portraying a positive message to the opposing view.

Evolution verse Creationism is a concept that is still being battled in the school system. Since public schools are owned by the government and the first Amendment to the Constitution says "Congress will pass no law establishing religion, or prohibit the free exercise thereof." This has been taken to mean separation of church and state which would date back to the Scopes trial, a trial over if evolution could be taught in schools.

Those that follow creationism would be the ones who find there beliefs dating back to Jewish roots. This would include Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. All of these faiths base God as creating the universe in six days (the seventh day of rest is not believed by Muslims). In that time God spoke everything into existence.

 This is creationism summed up. The first day He made light to separate night from day, the second day He made an expanse to separate the waters He hovered over before the first day. The third day He made land and put plants and trees on it, the fourth day He made the sun, the moon and the stars to be a way of keeping track of time. The fifth day He created water creatures and birds, and told them to multiply. The sixth day He made land animals and then humans as the only creature in God's likeness. Then Christians and jewish people believe God rested on the seventh day.

Evolution is a bit more perplexed as there are two forms of it, small-scale and large scale evolution. The small scale is just stating that over time a species adapts like leaves falling off a tree or a human going through puberty. This is scientific fact, however large-scale evolution makes a claim that defies creationism completely in stating that every species have a common ancestor that over time turned into many diverse species. The claim is that fossils support the theory along with DNA and other science. It doesn't say there isn't a God, just not the one mentioned in creationism. 

According to a site based on the works of Harun Yahya the theory of evolution is a philsophy and not a science. In fact he claims that science and fossils show the same animals of today millions of years ago.  These claims are disputable yet he throws that DNA has 3.5 billion digits in it. According to David Dewitt there is a misleading 98% similarity between humans and chimps in DNA which is actually only 95%. That is a total of 150,000,ooo DNA pairs different or even two percent would be 70,000,000.

Now evolutionists just go with the facts such as Henry Gee, Rory Howlett, and Phillip Campbell state on bringing up 15 proofs of evolution they call "evolutionary gems".  They use fossils, teeth, skeletons, natural selection in nature, and several other points found in the scientific world. 

Personally I don't see how we can claim the past when we weren't there. A lot is left up to interpretation and outside of religion and science it doesn't even play as a thought process. Both sides will take the same pieces of information to prove there side and which side presents themselves better is typically on a bias that you already form. 

I believe that biology has every right to teach evolution but creationism should be taught also inside of literature or history so both sides are presented in school curriculum in the same grade level.
