Reflection Essay 1: Evolutionism vs. Creationism
             Evolutionism versus creationism is an ongoing issue. Creationism
             was used by a means of explaining the origin of the world, by means of
             mostly predictions. After the science of evolution was discovered, the
             theory of creation no longer held water.
             The dictionary defines evolutionism as: (Webster's Seventh New
             Collegiate Dictionary, 1963) a belief that the process by which through a
             series of changes or steps a living organism has acquired its morphological
             and physiological characters. Creationism is the act of the world being
             produced by a supreme being. I support the former basically because it is
             backed up by scientific fact, while creationism isn't.
             Most all history books declare that scientists have found remnants of
             past beings, closely resembling creatures existing now, and more closely
             resembling those beings over time. Creationism theories lack this scientific
             base, further making it only a myth. In 1999 the Creationism vs.
             Evolutionism-Group 1 page said, "Both creation and evolution sciences
             consist of theories and hypotheses, but evolutionism can support itself with
             evidence-based facts, creationism can't."
             These statements aren't to say that creationism and evolutionism are
             mutually exclusive. One can in fact support both at once. In 1999 the
             Creationism vs Evolutionism-Group1 page revealed that many private
             religious schools teach evolutionism. The website also states a survey was
             given in 1996 to the nation's leading scientists and researchers. The results
             revealed 70 percent of the participants have strong religious convictions.
             Therefore, evolution doesn't completely eliminate the possibilty of a
             Creationism and evolutionism aren't completely reconcilable, though.
