All About Evolution and Intelligent Design

One of the most widely debated and controversial topics of our time, Evolution is a biological term referring to the period of time in which Earth has evolved from initial creation into the lush populated planet we know today.

The theory of evolution states that overtime, as new species began to evolve, the more dominant species were in greatest control of the Earth’s population. The more dominant a species, the more likely it would be able to reproduce and continue up the evolutionary ladder. Furthermore, characteristics from those dominant species would be the ones that would carry on to future generations. Otherwise known as natural selection or speciation, this gradual evolution accounts for the immensely diverse biological world we all live in today.

In theory, evolution is believed to have taken billions and billions of years, which has frequently conflicted with the religious beliefs of many. The idea of evolution was first recorded on paper by Charles Darwin in his 1859 book The Origin of Species. Darwin’s book offered the world of science its first rational and well-argued theory for a manner by which evolutionary global change had occurred and would continue to occur over time.
