Evolution vs. Creationism

There are many aspects of debate within the realm of science versus faith, but the one I will be focusing on is the creation of the universe.

Creationism states that the universe was created 5000 years ago. This is backed up by belief in the Bible evidence and spoken words passed down throughout history. Based fundamentally in religion, Creationism has had its tremulous journey from being the sole foundation of the understanding of the universe to present day where it is countered by Evolutionary theories based on great amounts of research but fundamentally implanted in society’s brain-construct by Charles Darwin in 1859. But these two sides are not so different. Both contain their own science. Creationism bases it’s ‘science’ on the Bible and the spoken word that has surpassed the boundaries of history to stay relatively intact with a semi-simple explanation of how and when the universe was created. While countering is evolutionist theory of the universe secretion in a primordial blast 13.7 billion years ago, which lead to the formation of galaxies, stars, planets, and ultimately life, all backed by cosmological evidence in space and here on Earth. Both Creationism and Evolution bring specific rhetoric that contains fine lines that supposedly should ‘never’ be crossed. Creationism and Evolution include important aspects of how life came to be by incorporating the scope of being, helping to understand our place in the universe, and generally contain questions and answers to life itself [Or should these aspects be seen as restrictions?]. Each of these aspects depend on the way the body and mind, the truth and morality, of the individual dissect and interpret what the evidence is representing; like Rose said, “all cultures limit access to and uses of the body, these limitations invest aspects of the body and its representations with powerful meanings and values. Interpreting the ‘politics of representation’ makes these investments explicit and available”. Our culture divides (it also has its grey areas, seen in our demonstration of science vs. faith classroom separation), bringing about differences that affect the body, the mind, the thinking, the moralities that we as individuals believe to be true or false. That is why we have the ‘war’ for dominance between Evolution and Creationism. But we don’t necessarily need a dominant way of thinking. Each of us can believe in our own science that gives proof and evidence to our ways of life, I mean look at the world: there are so many different cultures that differ from ours, with different beliefs; the world is large, the universe is gigantic, there can be room for more than one belief, let’s just create a bridge to span the gap so someone can float that grey area if they chose to.
