Evolution Korea In the past, the Korean scientific community avoided engaging with the creationists out of fear of giving the movement more credibility. Silence is no longer an option. The STR has been battling to get rid of textbooks that explain evolution, including the discovery of the feathered dinosaur Archaeopteryx as an early bird's ancestor. This is just one aspect of how the concept of development has changed. What is Evolution? The theory of evolution is a branch of science that explains the evolution of genetic characteristics over time. The theory is based on fact that living organisms adapt to their environment, which can cause variations in genes or even whole genomes. Over time, these changes can result in the creation of new species. Natural selection is the most popular theory of evolution. It explains how people with traits that are advantageous survive and reproduce more than those with less favorable traits. Over time, this differential reproduction may lead to the emergence of entirely new species. The word “evolution” originates from Latin for revealing or unrolling, has been used in many different ways as the concept has developed in both science and in other fields. Early evolutionists, such as Jean Baptiste de Lamarck and Erasmus Darwin (Charles's grandfather) believed that the existing species evolved into new species in a predetermined fashion. The term”transmutation” was coined by Lamarck's disciple, 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 view that species are evolving into different species in a gradual and predictable manner. Evolutionary biologists define evolution more recently as a process by which living creatures develop traits to increase their chances of survival or conceiving offspring. As time passes the genetic variability could lead to the emergence of completely new physical or biological functions in the same population. Natural selection is the mechanism that triggers the majority of evolutionary changes. However, non-genetic changes such as the growth in the muscle mass as a result of exercise or diet cannot be considered examples of evolution because they are not inherited by future generations. Despite the fact that evolution has withstood the tests of time and thousands of scientific tests, creationists have seized on the idea that evolution 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 roots of humans as well as the Archaeopteryx feathered dinosaur thought to be the ancestral bird's parent. Why is Evolution Important to Humanity? Evolution explains how Earth and all its living creatures came into existence. It is one of the fundamentals of biology and helps scientists discover how living things operate and grow. Evolution also shows the connections between different species. Scientists study evolution to better understand nature and make useful discoveries like new medicines. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. No other scientific theory can explain as much about the universe and the life on our planet. It has been thoroughly scrutinized and confirmed for a number of years. Many people, even some religious leaders, are in favor of the scientific theory. It is important to understand that evolutionary biology does not contradict religions, since the theory is based on processes, objects, and events in the physical world. In fact many religious individuals have found ways to reconcile their beliefs with evolution. For example certain Christians believe that God created the world through evolution and that humans share an ancestral lineage with other animals. It is essential for science educators to stand up for the teaching of evolution. In certain countries, anti-evolution sentiment has been growing. In the United States some states have taken steps to limit teaching evolution. In South Korea, a group known as the Society for Textbook Revise (STR) which is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research, is campaigning for the removal of textbook content on the evolution of horses and the Avian ancestor Archaeopteryx. While these are disturbing changes, it's important to remember that the evidence for evolution is overwhelming. The evidence for evolution comes from a variety of sources, such as fossils, genetics, and even the behavior of living creatures. Other scientists independently confirm the evidence. The majority of scientists support the theory of evolution. The reasons for this support vary. Scientists study evolution to make practical discoveries for example, such as the development of medications, while others are motivated by a desire to improve animal and plant species, usually to benefit humans. Some scientists are just curious, while others hold a an intense belief in God. What is Creationism? 에볼루션 바카라 무료체험 are people who believe that God created the universe and everything within it. They also believe that the Bible is God's word and should be interpreted in a literal manner. Many creationists are Christians, but not all. Creationists typically fall into two categories: Young Earth creationists (YEC) and old earth creationists (OEC). The most common type of creationist is known as the YEC. They believe that God created the universe exactly in the way that is described in the Bible. They believe 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 less well known, but they are as enthusiastic about their beliefs as YECs. OECs believe that the universe and Earth are billions of years old, and believe that evolution is a lie. Both types of creationism reject the scientific theories that natural selection and biogenesis can explain how life started on Earth. They assert that evolution is inconceivable because it would require miracles. The founders of modern science shunned miracles in fear that they would lose their credibility. Some creationists accept naturalistic evolution and also special creation, and call their view “theistic evolution.” This is sometimes called “continuous creationism” or “evolution from created kinds.” The theory suggests that God creates original species and allows them to change over time. Then these evolutionary changes will create new species that are like the original ones. Some creationists believe that God created all living things and the universe in one event called the Great Flood. Creationists believe that the original species were all created at the same time and that they grew gradually afterward. They deny the notion of abiogenesis and assert that self-replicating life can't come from nonliving matter. In general, creationists oppose teaching evolution in schools. Numerous professional associations, such as the National Science Teachers Association and the Association for Science Teacher Education support this position, as do the American Anthropological Association and the Geological Society of America. However, certain researchers and educational institutions are more flexible and allow the inclusion of creationism and evolution in their curriculum. What is Creationism? When people think of the concept of creationism, a lot think of the United States. However, South Korea is also home to an anti-evolution movement. Publishers of high-school textbooks announced recently that they will remove references to evolution from their books. The Society for Textbook Revise, an independent body that is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research (KACCR) has been the driving force behind this effort. The STR has scored its first victory by removing from textbooks examples of the evolution and ancestor of the avian, called the Archeopteryx. The next goal is to eliminate portions of Darwin's notorious finch-research and also on human evolution. STR claims to have the backing of 4,000 families and individual members. Its mission, it states is to cleanse the world of what it calls “atheist materialism” which paints an image of students as being negative. It also aims at countering the influence of American Creationists in the United States. A survey of trainees in biology revealed that half of them did not believe evolution. The reasons for this are not clear however, they could be related to religious beliefs or the absence of full-time creation scientists in the country. The KACR has accomplished a lot in the past through seminars and lectures. It has a bimonthly news magazine, Creation, and has published books. One of them was a textbook on natural science that had a creationist perspective. This sparked an interest in college communities. In 1991, a professor and minister began teaching Creation Science in one university and it is taught until today. On August 7 and 8 the 7th of August 1993, which coincided with the World Expo opened in Daejeon, KACR held a second International Symposium on Creation Research. Six lecturers from the world, including ICR's John Morris, Duane Gish, and Steven Austin spoke to audiences of several thousand. KACR and its members have been giving lectures on creation science in major seminaries, too. KACR plans to create a Creation Science Education Center in the near future.
