Evolution vs. Creation

Darwin's theory of evolution is basically a more complex version of Anaximander's theory. He brought up the "natural selection" idea which is that ages of minor genetic mutations that gave an animal an advantage like an animal that grew wings and was able to learn to fly would pass that on to its offspring and that generation of birds would pass it on to their offspring. The other kind of that animal that didn't have wings would die out. He believed that mankind and other animals descended from a common ancestor.

The theory of Creationism is the human religious belief that God created everything on Earth and Earth itself. They completely omit the theory of evolution in schools in the early 1920's. They didn't allow Darwin's theory in textbooks until the 1960's. Nobody really knows whether its correct or not.

I think Darwin's theory is correct because there is so much evidence that humans evolved from apes and other species evolved from other species before them. Humans look so much like monkeys and other apes that its foolish to completely reject the theory of evolution. There is little to no solid proof that the theory of Creation is right.
