Evolution Korea
In the past, the Korean scientific community resisted engaging with creationists for fear of giving the movement more credence. The silence is no longer an alternative.
The STR has been battling to remove content from textbooks that discuss evolution, including the discovery of the feathered dinosaur Archaeopteryx as an early bird's ancestor. This is only one aspect of the evolution of the development paradigm.
What is Evolution?
The theory of evolution is a scientific one that explains the evolution of genetic characteristics of living organisms over time. The theory is based on the fact that living things adapt to their surroundings and this can lead to changes in genes, or even entire genomes. These changes can, over generations lead to the emergence of new species. Natural selection is the predominant theory of evolution. It explains how individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce more than those with less advantageous traits. This differential reproduction can be a catalyst to the development and emergence of new species.
The term "evolution" comes from the Latin word meaning unraveling or revealing, however the concept has had a variety of meanings since it took form in the sciences and other fields. Early evolutionists such as Erasmus Darwin (Charles’s grandfather) and Jean Baptiste de Lamarck believed that species were predetermined to change into a new species. The term transmutation was coined by the Lamarck's disciple, embryologist Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, to describe this view. Charles Lyell, in his Principles of Geology, published in 1833, challenged the idea of evolution, and borrowed the term from Geoffroy's student.
Recently,
에볼루션 게이밍 evolutionary biologists have defined evolution as a process when living organisms develop traits that improve their chances of survival or
에볼루션 게이밍 the ability to reproduce offspring. In time, genetic variation can lead a population to acquire new physical characteristics or biological functions. Natural selection is the process that drives the most evolutionary changes. However other changes that are not genetic, such as increases in muscle mass from exercise or diet cannot be considered to be examples of evolution since they are not inherited by the next generation.
Despite the fact that evolution has withstood the test of time and a multitude of scientific experiments, creationists have seized on the notion that the theory is controversial and claim that it shouldn't be taught in schools. In South Korea, creationists have had a few wins in their campaign to exclude evolution from high-school textbooks which includes the removal of any references to the evolutionary origins of humans, as well as the Archaeopteryx feathered dinosaur thought to be the ancestral bird's ancestor.
Why is Evolution Important?
Evolution is the explanation for the origins of Earth and all living species. It is also a fundamental part of biology and helps scientists understand how living organisms work and develop. Evolution also shows how various species are connected. Scientists study evolution to better understand the natural world and to make useful discoveries like the development of new medicines.
The evidence for biological evolution is overwhelming. There is no other scientific theory that can explain so many aspects of the universe and life on this planet, and it has been thoroughly tested and confirmed over a long period of time. Many people, including some religious leaders, support the scientific theory of evolution. It is important to note that evolutionary biology doesn't contradict religious beliefs, since the theory is based on things, events and processes in the physical world.
In fact many religious individuals have come up with ways to reconcile their beliefs with evolution. For instance some Christians believe that God created the world through evolution, and that humans share an ancestry with other animals.
It is essential for scientists to stand up for the teaching of evolution. Unfortunately,
무료 에볼루션 in some countries around the globe the anti-evolution movement is growing. In the United States some states have taken steps to limit the teaching evolution. In South Korea, a group known as the Society for Textbook Revise, an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research (KAC) is a campaign for textbooks to include content on the evolution of horses and their Avian ancestor Archaeopteryx.
Although these are alarming developments, it is important to remember that the evidence for evolution is overwhelming. The evidence for evolution comes from many sources, including fossils,

The majority of scientists supports the theory of evolution. This belief is based on many different reasons. Certain scientists study evolution to discover practical solutions such as developing new drugs or enhancing existing ones. Others do this to improve the quality of animal and plant species, mostly to benefit of humans. Some scientists are simply curious, while others have an intense faith in God.
What is Creationism?
Creationists believe that God created all things in the universe. They also believe that the Bible is God's word and should be interpreted in a literal manner. Although not all creationists are Christian but many are. Creationists generally fall in one of two categories: Young Earth creationists (YEC) and old earth creationists (OEC).
The YECs are perhaps the most well known form of creationist, and they believe that God created the universe in the exact way described in the Bible. YECs hold that the biblical account of the first six days of creation is literal and that the universe as well as life on Earth were created only recently.
OECs are less well known however they're just as passionate about their beliefs as YECs. OECs believe that the universe and life on Earth are billions of years old, and they believe that evolution is an untruth.
Both forms of creationism deny that scientific principles like natural selection and abiogenesis could explain the origins of life on Earth. They claim that evolution is impossible, because it would require miracles. The pioneers of modern scientific thought resisted miracles out of fear they could lose their credibility.
Some creationists accept both naturalistic evolution and special creation, and refer to their belief "theistic evolution." This is sometimes also referred to as "continuous creationism" or "evolution from created kinds." In this view, God creates the original species and then allows them to evolve over time. Then the evolutionary changes create new species that are similar to the original ones.
Some creationists believe that God created all living things and the entire universe in one event called the Great Flood. These creationists hold that all the original species were created at the same moment and then slowly evolved. They also deny the notion of abiogenesis, and argue that the emergence of self-replicating organisms from nonliving matter is unattainable.
In general, the creationists are against teaching evolution in schools. This is supported by a myriad of professional associations such as the National Science Teachers Association, the Association for Science Teacher Education, the American Anthropological Association, and the Geological Society of America. However, certain academic institutions and scientists are more flexible and allow the inclusion of creationism and evolution in their curricula.
What is Creationism?
When people think of creationism typically think of the United States. South Korea also has an anti-evolutionist group.
