What are the Differences between creation hypotheses and the theory of evolution?

Answer 1

Evolution is science and based on the best evidence available. Creation is religion and is part of so many different cultures that I am not sure which story you mean.
The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection explains much about the fact of evolution (things change over time) and is supported by massive amounts of evidence from both microbiology and the fossil record. There is no 'theory' of creation (creationism) because to be a theory it needs to be able to be testable and be able to make predictions, and creationism does neither of those. Most religions have their own creation myths and the differences between them are astounding. Creationism (also called "the theory of creation" "Creation Science" and "Intelligent Design") have also been disproven for over a century.

Answer 2

According to the theory of the Big Bang followed by evolution, the Universe (and this Earth) resulted from random events stemming from natural laws, and life then 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.

(In recent decades, this wisdom has indeed been partially revealed, through increasingly powerful microscopes.) There are Creation-stories all over the world; tens of them if not hundreds. This is because the Creation was a tradition going all the way back and shared by all mankind.

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.

Answer 4

The key difference is that evolutionary theory is based on empirical evidence, not faith. Nothing in support of the Theory of Evolution can be accepted unless convincing evidence is provided and reviewed by sceptical peers. The Theory of Evolution has come a long way sine the time of Charles Darwin, not only in terms of improvements to the Theory, but in the discovery of numerous pieces of evidence that support the Theory.

Answer 5

Creation hypotheses propose that life was created by a supernatural entity, while the theory of evolution explains how life diversified through natural selection and genetic variation over millions of years. Creation hypotheses are not based on empirical evidence and are not scientifically testable, while the theory of evolution is supported by extensive scientific data and is the foundation of modern Biology.
