Creationist attack any theory or scientific evidence that exposes the mythological tendencies seen throughout Genesis (Zindler).
             The question I am faced with is, "Has modern science discredited the biblical theory of divine creation?" There are infinite scientific theories and discoveries I could note to back my stand that divine creation is merely a myth created to aid in early human's inability to understand chemistry, biology, physics, and more. We are bombarded with the Big Bang Theory, the Gap Theory, Darwin's Theory of Evolution, and the list could go on and on. I will focus on the basic theory of evolution in my attempt to discredit divine creation.
             Evolution is defined as, "the theory, now generally accepted, that all species of plants and animals developed from earlier forms by hereditary transmission of slight...
