Evolution believes that life was formed from nutrients at the bottom of oceans around volcanic pillars a few billion years ago, then evolved into the creatures we are today over billion of years.

∙ 9y agoEvolution and creationism come from different magisteria. Evolution is part of the magisterium of science, which explains the natural world but does not attempt to resolve supernatural issues. Creationism is part of the magisterium of religion and provides a supernatural, faith-based explanation of our origins, although some seek to subvert science to its cause. It has been suggested that the two magisteria should be kept separate in our thinking. Science and religion do not mix readily.

∙ 6y agoBoth seek to explain how we got here.According to the theory of Evolution, life developed by random processes, especially mutations.
The narrative of Divine Creation, which is contained in Genesis ch.1 and 2, states that God created the universe. This teaches us that God exists, that our lives and the world are not random, and that the created things may be assumed to contain vast wisdom in their beautiful and purposeful design. (In recent decades, this wisdom has indeed been partially revealed, through increasingly powerful microscopes.)Evolution through random mutations, on the other hand, may be understood as implying that life is an accident, that perceived beauty and wisdom are ultimately purposeless, and that our instinctive yearning for the Eternal is just an electrical impulse in our brain.

What is creationism vs evolution?
This debate has been going on for a long time: Some people believe that we were made by a higher being, others believe that we evolved from primates. It depends on what your perspective (view) is.
How does evolution involve creationism?
Evolution does NOT involve creationism.Evolution is a testable and therefore provable explanation as to how the diversity of life on earth has happened.Creationism is a religious viewpoint and therefore a mater of faith.AnswerI agree with the above. Evolution does NOT involve Creationism. Evolution is a branch of biological science and thus rejects "supernatural" claims such as those of Creationism, does not need to consider them. Creationism, often hanging on Genesis, the first book of the Bible, predates scientific inquiry and the scientific method and so is thus rejected by science and thus evolutionary science. In the public spotlight, the so-called Evolution-Creation "controversy" and all the on-stage arguments and debates might make it seem as though Evolution and Creationism (and Intelligent Design) have a lot to do with one another, but I doubt Creationism gets much mention at all in scientific laboratories and scientific conferences (it can't because it hasn't got anything to say about the real world.)
Should evolution and creationism be taught side by side in school?
Most certainly not side-by-side. That would imply that they are equivalent notions. Evolution, however, is a scientific theory, and creationism is religious myth. Evolution belongs in biology classes, creationism in something like comparative religion courses.
Is evolution the same as creationism?
No Answer 2 No. Creationism is faith, based on the Creation-story of Genesis and praises the biblical god as creator of all the Universe, all Earth and all life (in 6 days). Evolution is a theory of science (biology). The Theory of Evolution by Means of Natural Selection, first proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace. Evolution is part of natural science and explains the histories and diversifications of all of Earth's organisms. Evolution does not have to do with the origin of the Universe or the Planet Earth, which creationism may mention in its origins-explanations. (The origins of the Universe and the Solar System and Earth are explained by another branch of natural science - Cosmology and Astronomy). The Theory of Evolution states that life has changed since its beginnings (abiogenesis) by Natural Selection. The main unit of Evolution is the gene. Populations genetically diverge until they are so separate they are distinguishable and may become reproductively isolated. This is an instance of speciation, the origin of species. Evolution relies upon observation of the world to explain the world (genetics, palaeontology, comparative morphology are all used as evidence to construct the picture of evolution). Creationism relies on the writings of biblical texts to explain the world. There is no material evidence to support the claims of creationism as creationism is faith based. Indeed there are many contrasts between Evolution and Creationism. They both explain the same thing (life and how it came to be as it is today), but Evolution is logical and fact-collecting, a real process seen in the world today and (via fossils) in the distant past whereas Creationism is a comforting faith-based story with no backing evidence of events described in the creation story of Genesis.

Is there any contradiction between science and religion?
Yes...I suppose there are many contradictions. On of the biggest one is Evolution vs. Creationism.

Most religions, believe in Creationism, which is that God designed and created everything.

What does a Buddhist think of creationism Vs evolution?
Two central aspects of Buddhism are:impermanence- "the only constant is change", andinterdependence - "nothing exists independently from all other phenomena"In this respect, Buddhism is more "compatible" with evolution (change rising from life itself) than creationism (which attributes change to an external, unchanging entity).
