Evolution vs.Creationism Essay
Evolution Vs Creationism
People have always wondered how life originated and how so many different kinds of plants and animals arose. Stories of a supernatural
creation of life developed among many peoples. The Bible, for example, tells of God's creation of humans and other higher animals over several

radioisotope dating, which measures the amount of uranium or lead lost over the years.
Two decades after Darwin's Origin of Species was published many religious leaders feared that a less–than–literal reading of the biblical story
would result in a loss of faith; and well–known spokesmen for the cause–such as William Jennings Bryan– of moral decay to be evidence of the
damage brought about by the teaching of the godless evolution. The issue was argued on a number of platforms, one of the most famous being
