The Truth: Theory or Evolution?
Yes! This is the common question always asks by the people, “Evolution or Creation? But what really the truth is? Why we need to know the truth? Is that important? Can we just accept both evolution and creation? Why we need to choose one? Is there a way to resolve that issue? But before we answer these questions, let us first discuss what evolution is and what creation is. Where those theories came from?
Evolution is the gradual development. In biology, “complex process by which the characteristics of living organisms change over many generations as traits are passed from one generation to another, discovered by Charles Darwin. On the contrary, creation is the broad range beliefs involving to God’s miraculous intervention to explain the origin of the universe, of life and of the different kinds of plants and animals.” (MS Student Encarta 2008 DVD)
Now, why we need to know the truth? Is that important? Actually as human, we have the right to know, where we came from, and where are we going? Even the French artist Paul Gaugin went to find that answers. “As he felt death approaching, he painted what has been described as a ‘final affirmation of artistic force.’ Paul Gaugin named that painting, ‘Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?’” (Is There a Creator Who Cares About You?) To know where we came from is a chance to know if this is just our life, born not reach in the age of 120 years, then die. Why we’re here? That’s why it’s very important for us to know what really the truth is.
Can we just accept both evolution and creation? As mentioned earlier, knowing where we came from is a chance to know we’re we going. Evolution stated what is our origin but it didn’t stated where we going. Evolutionists are trying to find that answer. The creation stated what is our origin, it also stated where we going. “In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19) But, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 2:4)
Is there a way to resolve this issue? When I was high school, I asked my teacher, “Which one do you prefer to believe evolution or creation? Then she replied, “If I going to ask you, which one do you believe the remains as an evident? (She’s pointed to evolution) or there’s statement without evident? (She’s pointed to creation) It’s yours to believe.” But scientists creationists disagree about evolution, even though they have their own evidences, like for example the fossils. “They must have from transitional ancestors.” But for creationists, “Nowhere in the fossil record are partially formed bones or organs that could be taken for the beginning of the new feature…none of those transitional forms have been found.” (Life How Did It Get Here? By Evolution or by Creation?) Don’t confuse! These are just some ways to choose what the answer is. If you are interested if where you came from, then more research as you can, weighing and relax, one step closer and you will find the answer you are looking for. Because it is concerns about your life, then remember you have the right to know “The truth: Evolution or Creation?”
