Evolution vs. Creation

Darwin's theory of evolution is the belief that all living things came from one common ancestor. The theory also explains that complex creatures evolved from simple organisms. These simple organisms had random gene mutations within their genetic code that helped them survive. These mutations were then passed down from one generation to another. A single mutation can have a large effect, but in many cases, evolutionary change is based on the amount of many mutations. This a very controversial issue because many people don't believe we are the descendants of animals, which brings about another belief called creation.

Creation is the belief that God or many gods created the universe. If you are a Christian the creation of the earth is explained in genesis the first book of the bible. Also Christianity explains that the first people on earth were Adam and Eve which we were created from. The Jewish interpretation tells that six things followed the creation of the world including the Torah and the Throne of Glory. Each religion has their own way of how the earth was created because everyone wants to believe in something.
