Evolution

Society has a way of perceiving evolution in many ways because it involves change, extinction, humans and religion. However evolution is defined in many ways and is often confuse with two different aspects of the definition. Well evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain those (Moran, 2002).


Although evolution is a natural or artificially induced process by which new and different organisms develop as a results of change in genetic materials to reflect back to Darwin’s theory.  Moran, 2002, states that Darwin’s theory supports that all living organisms presented on earth today have arisen from previous forms in the course of earth’s long history.
As I continued to gain knowledge on how scientist and religion perceive evolution, I’m still confused on how we were all created. To me no one has given a clear explanation as how to how all species were created. Yes there are proven facts that traces back to extinction and changes of a species. On that note I am still unsure on some things, but do believe in both faith and science.
