에볼루션 바카라 무료 Up until recently the Korean scientific community avoided engaging with creationists for fear of giving the movement more credence. The silence is no longer an alternative. The STR has been fighting to remove the content on evolution from textbooks, including the discovery that the feathered Archaeopteryx was an ancestral bird. This is only one aspect of how the development paradigm has evolved. What is Evolution? Evolution is a theory of science that explains the changes in the genetic traits of living organisms over time. The theory is based upon the fact that living organisms adapt to their environment, which may lead to variations in genes or even whole genomes. Over time these changes could result in the creation of new species. The prevailing theory of evolution is called natural selection, which explains the process that allows those with favorable characteristics live and reproduce more often than those with disadvantageous characteristics. This differing reproduction may, over time, lead to the emergence and evolution of new species. The word “evolution” originates from the Latin word for unrolling or revealing, but the concept has had a variety of meanings over the years as it has taken form in the fields of science and in other fields. Early evolutionists like 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 Lamarck's student, embryologist Etienne Geoffroy Saint Hilaire, to describe this idea. Charles Lyell, who published the second volume of his Principles of Geology in 1833 opposed this notion and borrowed the term “evolution” from Geoffroy's student to describe the idea that existing species evolve into different species in an orderly and predictable manner. More recently, evolutionary biologists have defined evolution as a process that occurs when living things develop characteristics that improve their chances of survival, or their ability to reproduce offspring. As time passes, genetic variation can cause a population to acquire new physical traits or biological functions. Natural selection is the main force behind the majority of evolutionary changes. However other changes that are not genetic, such as the increase in muscle mass due to exercise or diet cannot be considered to be examples of evolution since they're not passed on to future generations. Creationists are using the argument that evolution is controversial even though it has been proven valid by a multitude of scientific tests and it has stood the test of time. They claim that the concept should not be taught at school. In South Korea, creationists have won a few victories in their efforts to eliminate evolution from high-school textbooks which includes the removal of any references to the evolutionary roots of humans, as well as the Archaeopteryx, a feathered dinosaur thought to be an ancestor of birds. Why is Evolution Important? Evolution explains the origins of Earth and all living species. It also serves as a basis of biology and helps scientists to learn how living organisms function and develop. Evolution also shows the connections between different species. Scientists study evolution to better understand the natural world and also to make important discoveries like the development of new drugs. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. No other scientific theory can explain as much about the universe as the life on our planet. It has been thoroughly scrutinized and confirmed for a number of years. Many people, including some religious leaders, are in favor of the scientific theory of evolution. It is essential to remember that evolutionary biology isn't in contradict religious beliefs because it only addresses physical objects, events, and processes. Many religious people have come up with a way of reconciling evolution with their convictions. Some Christians, for example, believe that God created everything through evolution and that humans share an ancestral connection to other animals. It is essential that scientists and educators speak out for the teaching evolution. In certain countries, the opposition to evolution has been rising. In the United States some states have taken measures to restrict teaching evolution. In South Korea, a group called the Society for Textbook Revise, an offshoot from the Korea Association for Creation Research (KAC) is pushing for textbooks to include content on the evolutionary history of horses and their avian ancestor Archaeopteryx. While these are troubling developments, it is also important to remember that the evidence for evolution is overwhelming. The evidence comes from a broad range of sources, such as fossils, genetic studies, and the behavior of living organisms. Other scientists independently confirm the evidence. The majority of scientists agree with the theory of evolution. The reasons for this support are diverse. Some scientists study evolution in order to make practical discoveries, such as developing new medicines, while others do so to improve animal and plants species, typically to benefit of humans. Some scientists are simply curious, while others have a strong religious belief in God. What is Creationism? Creationists are those who believe that God created the universe and everything in it. They also believe that the Bible is the word of God and should be taken seriously. Although Creationists may not all be Christian, they are a majority. Creationists typically fall into one of two categories: Young Earth creationists (YEC) and old earth creationists (OEC). The YECs are the best known form of creationist, and they believe that God created the world exactly as described in the Bible. YECs hold that the biblical account of the six days of creation was true and that the universe and the life on Earth were created just recently. OECs are not as well-known however they are just as enthusiastic about their beliefs as YECs. OECs believe that the universe as well as Earth are billions of years old, and believe that evolution is a lie. Both forms of creationism deny that scientific principles such as biogenesis and natural selection can explain how life came to be on Earth. They claim that evolution is impossible because it would require a miracle, and that the pioneers of modern science shied away from miracles due to fear that they would lose credibility. Some creationists accept naturalistic evolution and also special creation. They refer to their belief as “theistic evolution.” This is also referred to as “continuous evolutionism” or the “evolution of species created.” In this theory, God creates the original species and allows them to change over time. Eventually the evolutionary changes result in new species identical to the original species. Other creationists believe that God created the universe and all living things in one event, called the Great Flood. They believe that all the species of the beginning were created at the same time and then slowly evolved. They reject the concept of abiogenesis, and argue that self-replicating life cannot arise from nonliving matter. In general, creationists are against teaching of evolution in schools. This is supported by a variety of professional organizations which include the National Science Teachers Association, the Association for Science Teacher Education and the American Anthropological Association, and the Geological Society of America. Some scientists and educational institutions are however more flexible and allow both creationism and evolution to be incorporated into their curriculum. What is Creationism? When people think of creationism, they often think of the United States. However, South Korea is also the home of an anti-evolutionist movement. Publishers of high school textbooks have recently announced that they will eliminate references to evolution from their textbooks. The Society for Textbook Revise, an independent organization that is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research (KACCR) is the one who has led this effort. STR has won its first victory by taking away instances of the evolution of the horse as well as an avian ancestor, the Archeopteryx from textbooks. The next step is to eliminate the finch-research of Darwin's famed and also on human evolution. STR claims that it has the support of 4000 families and individuals. Its mission is to cut out what it sees as the “atheist materialism” that creates a bleak worldview for students. It also seeks to counter the influence of American creationists in the United States. A survey of undergraduates studying biology revealed that a majority of them did not believe evolution. The root causes are unclear, but may include religious beliefs and the lack of full-time creation scientists in the country. The KACR accomplished a number of things through its seminars and lectures in the past. It publishes a bimonthly news magazine, Creation, and has published books. One of these was a textbook on natural science with a creationist stance. This sparked an interest among college communities. In 1991 the year 1991, a minister and professor started teaching Creation Science in one university, and it is taught until today. On August 6-7 in 1993, the same day that the World Expo opened in Daejeon, KACR held a second International Symposium on Creation Research. Six lecturers from around the world including ICR's John Morris, Duane Gish, and Steven Austin spoke to audiences of over a thousand. KACR members and KACR have also given talks on the subject of creation science at major seminaries. KACR plans to create a Creation Science Education Center in the near future.
