What do you think about the paragraph i wrote on Evolution and Creation any sudgestions?

Creation vs. Evolution Creation and Evolution are two controversial theories as to how humans and animals arrived on the planet. Creation is essentially a religious story found in the book of Genesis in the Holy Bible. The Creation myth states that God created the earth and everything in it (including humans) over the course of 6 24 hour days. Evolution however is a scientific theory created by Charles Darwin in 1836. Darwin’s theory states that all organisms evolved from a common ancestor over a period of time. While both theories have valid points and arguments to support them, to me one theory clearly rises above the other. This theory is Evolution. I believe that Evolution is superior to Creation because the scientific confirmation supporting it is abundant and overwhelming. Proof of Evolution lies with the 1000’s of fossil evidence of early hominids. Evidence such as the skull cap of Homo Neanderthal, the 40% complete skeleton of Lucy ( Astropithicus Afarensis) and the skull of Astripithicus Africanus founded by Louis Leakey. All of these fossils are verification that there were once creatures long before humans and that some of these species became dead ends while others went on to evolve into Humans. By using carbon dating we can see that the older the skeleton the smaller and more chimp like these hominids were. As the Fossil evidence becomes newer we notice that later hominids have traits such as bipedalism and the ability to use tools (more human like) This shows that over time these hominids were evolving and slowly becoming more sophisticated and less primitive. Although I believe in Evolution I would not call myself an extreme Darwinist or advocator of Evolution. Most people assume that because I believe in Evolution that I am an atheist or hater of religion. This is completely false. Though I believe in Darwin’s theory I still hold true to my Christian roots. I attend church on Sunday’s youth group on Friday’s and pray throughout the week. I find it a difficult struggle between my religion and view of evolution, as do many people. As for now I am a Christian who just so happens to believe in Evolution. How that makes sense I do not know.

Answer:
First would you write a comparison between astronomy and astrology? The first is a science and the second is found in the entertainment section of the paper. The last part you start the "I"ing. "I believe...I still...I attend...I find..." Are you arguing with yourself? Consider the tone and structure of the following and how well is explains evolution: "In the biological sciences, evolution is a scientific theory that explains the emergence of new varieties of living things in the past and in the present; it is not a "theory of origins" about how life began." http://ncse.com/ (note the big, huge, immense Hint) It's short, to the point and communicates the needed information. At your grade level I'd kick it back for a major rewrite. You don't explain either theory and attempt to write your entire paper in one, run on, paragraph. I'd heavily mark you down for not explaining the scientific method and for not pointing out the multiple creationist theories. (You do know there are 5 major ones right?)

Everyone believes an eternal unchanging Logic runs the Universe & created man. Atheists call it Natural Law or Natural Selection. The Ancient Greeks called it the Logos. And Christians say the Logos is God. (John 1:1) God is the notion that the Logos is alive & intelligent. Religions make many claims regards what this Intelligence expects of us. Believers personify the Logos. Atheists take the opposite course. While admitting the Logos compels the creation of life & intelligence, They absolutely hold it possesses neither of these qualities. I suspect the truth is somewhere in between. See the Biblical Creation story isn't a theory in the scientific sense. It's a moral tale. A mythic story to convey a spiritual truth. To be blessed by God, we must seek to understand His laws. But God is the Logos & the Logos is the logic of the Universe. The Logos is Nature. If you fail to learn Natures Laws, Nature will punish you. The more you understand them though, the more Nature will bless you. Now how does this differ from the notion that you must seek to understand God to receive his blessing? Or that failure to learn God's laws earns his punishment? If Christians say God created man & Atheists say Nature created man & God & Nature are both the Logos, the EVERYONE believes the Logos created man. We are not here by accident; Nature SELECTED the form we would take. If you believe the Logos is alive, that the Logos is God, then Evolution is a theory on HOW God created us. Understand? You only have a conflict between Christianity & Darwinism if you think the Biblical stories are hard science. The stories are not meant to covey a precise description of how God created us, only a clear belief that he did. And science is not intended to inspire us to love each other. It does not exist to help us be moral or loyal or united to the well being of our families or our nation - THAT is what Religion evolved to do. Religion exists & persists because it conveys a survival advantage on those who believe. Unfortunately Evolution is typically taught by Liberal Socialists who despise Religion because of their Marxist roots paint it as a tool of oppression. Hence Evolution is generally taught as a 'proof' of Atheism. But the actual theory is anything but. Evolution is the theory that even in the absence of intelligent design, that intelligence will emerge. And once intelligence emerges, do you think it will refrain from designing? Does that even REMOTLY sound like a theory that says there is no higher intelligence than ours? Because to me it sounds like Darwin infers the Evolution of a sublime intelligent designer is all but inevitable. So don't let the idiot Socialists trash your Religion because it isn't science. Religion was never supposed to be science & if you think it is you are missing the point. The Bible is about beliefs that empower you to win the Darwinian competition. Evolution teaches things like which fossilized primate bones are most likely our ancestors. The Bible teaches things like how to treat your spouse and children. Now which do you think is more relevant to your Darwinian success?

This paragraphs needs to be edited heavily, although it is a pretty good analysis of Creationism and Evolutionism for what your grade-level seems to be. Oh, and by the way, the only thing that really bothered me (because I don't know how old you are, therefore don't want to criticize you too hard if you are young) is you have misspelled Australopithecus afarensis and Australopithecus africanus. These are the correct spellings. Keep up the good work and the interest!

Creationism is not a theory. A theory is a scientific term and means an idea that can be tested and falsified. Creationism cannot be tested, and therefore is not a theory. Evolution has been tested many many times in many different ways, but never falsified. Therefore, evolution is a theory. It can be confusing because in common use the word theory is thrown around as though it means just any idea or even a guess.

You spelt Australopithecus wrong. Saying Darwin 'created' the theory of evolution doesn't exactly sound right. 'Discovered' evolution has a better sound to it but still doesn't sound right. Perhaps a better term would be 'realized'. There are millions of fossils, not just 1000's. Carbon dating can only be used to date species up to a about 62,000 years. It can't be used to carbon date older fossil in the millions of years, which human ancestors are. There are various dating methods, some of which are listed in the site below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiometric_dating Overall, however, it's very good.

You only see the story of creation through the words of Moses, if you would read ONLY the words of Jesus and stop using the words of Moses you would see a completely different story. According to Jesus 1 day in the first seal equaled 28 million years, and 7 days equaled 196 million years. According to Jesus he was born in the fifth seal in a time when 1 day equaled 280 years, and 7 days equaled 1,960 years. Jesus said, that the sixth seal was the same as the fifth seal in which 1 day equaled 280 years, and 7 days equaled 1,960 years. According to Jesus the seventh seal was Half-A-Time where 1 day equaled 140 years, and 7 days equaled 980 years. According to Jesus the first seal was a time when the spirits called man walked the earth in flesh bodies eventually known as dinosaurs, in a time when the earth was all one land. According to Jesus the second seal was a time when the spirit called man walked the earth in flesh bodies now known as cave dwellers, in a time when the earth was divided into two lands. Jesus said, that in the third seal, he made the spirits called man new flesh bodies to walk the earth in and these flesh bodies that the Spirit called the Christ made were called Humans. According to Jesus, God his Father changed Times and Season at the end of the fourth generation and before the beginning of the fifth seal from 400 years per generation to 40 years per generations. According to Jesus there are 7 seals and these 7 seals are also known as 7 earth ages. The first four seals are also know as A Time. Each of these four seals are made up of 49 generations, but the number of years per generation is decreased by one zero as each seal is completed. 1st seal, 1 generation = 4,000,000 years. 2nd seal, 1 generation = 400,000 years. 3rd seal, 1 generation = 40,000 years. 4th seal, 1 generation = 4,000 years According to Jesus the fifth and sixth seals were the same and they are known as Times because there are two seals that are alike. 5th seal, 1 generation = 400 years but changed to = 40 years 6th seal, 1 generation = 40 years. According to Jesus the seventh seal was half as long as the seal before it. The seventh seal did not lose a zero as the seals before it had, the seventh seal was created half as long as the sixth seal, and was known as a Half-A-Time. 7th seal, 1 generation = 20 years According to Jesus there were a total of 343 generations given to the spirits called man to live in flesh on the earth. According to Jesus there are 49 generations given in each seal, and 1 day is given to each 7 generations for them to walk the earth. The spirit are allowed 42 generations (6 days) of Labor to walk the earth and 7 generations (1 day) for Rest from walking the earth. Accoding to Jesus because he came on the first day of Rest, the beginning of the 43 generation of the fifth seal, he did not believe that the seals that had already passed was of no concern, therefore Jesus gave Time-lines for only the last 7 generations (280 years) of the fifth seal, and time-lines (Vials, 280 years per vial) for the sixth seal and seventh seal (Trumpets, 140 years per trumpet) I beg you to stop believing in the words spoken by Moses and believe in only the words spoken in the Gospels of Jesus and in the Book called Revelation. The Book called Revelation is the TRUE story of Creation as given by the Christ Jesus.

You are a "Theistic Evolutionist" .The older you get the more of these little or big conflicts with the Bible you will come across to really make you think about why you believe what you do. As for your paragraph I would grade it a "B"at an 8-9th grade level. You mat want to break up the paragraph and include some more contrasting points showing where the Bible is specifically opposed to science. Needs a good edit before you turn it in. Good Luck!
