A Paper for our Biology Class, Do You Believe In Evolution?

Do I believe in evolution? Hm…

I do not believe in evolution. Being raised as a Roman Catholic young girl, having studied under the watchful, religious eyes of Franciscan nuns for the six years of my elementary life, I was what you can say, forbidden to believe in anything but the Creation of mankind through the hands of God.

But then again, channeling my professional, scientific side, the question shall be answered right now.

People from long ago believed in spontaneous generation, (in my opinion) a silly theory that stated that living things could spring out from non-living things. It was not logical for me. How could non-living things come from living things? It was good that people soon found out another better-sounding theory, the biogenesis. And following hereafter is the story of evolution.

Before people were afraid to border beyond the lines of religion, as the ones who bordered beyond them are doomed to die. It was a dark time; people relied on the Bible for the knowledge of how they came to be. Come 1830s and the theory of evolution came around! I credit Charles Darwin for such a good work by working out a theory that humans are a somewhat distinct relative of the banana-crazy apes. Yes, there were these very distinct similarities in the skull size and shape, the way they move, muscle coordination… yes. It seems that we really have blasted monkeys as our ancestors…

Charles Darwin exuded great job of finding one theory that helped people become more up-to-date to their surroundings and how they came to be. The theory might be proven, but it is still a ‘theory’, for nobody will know what happened for sure, what is the difference between evolution and creation unless he lived for do long from the start of time.

Lastly, I still am not convinced in evolution. If ever it’s true, only God will know.

Praise the Lord!
