Evolution Korea
Until recently the Korean scientific community been hesitant to engage with the creationists, fearing that it could increase the credibility of the movement. But silence is no longer an option.
The STR has been battling to get rid of textbooks that explain evolution, such as the discovery of the feathered dinosaur Archaeopteryx as an ancestral bird's ancestor. But this is merely one aspect of the evolution of the developmental paradigm.
What is Evolution?
The theory of evolution is a branch of science that explains the evolution of genetic traits over time. The theory is based on the fact that living things adapt to their environments and this can lead to changes in genes or even complete genomes. Over the course of many generations these changes could lead to the emergence new species. The most popular theory of evolution is called natural selection, which describes the process through which people with advantages survive and reproduce more often than those with disadvantages. As time passes, this difference in reproduction may lead to the emergence of entirely new species.
The term "evolution" comes from the Latin word for unraveling or revealing, however the concept itself has a myriad of meanings since it took form in the sciences and other fields. Early evolutionists like Erasmus Darwin (Charles’s grandfather) and Jean Baptiste de Lamarck believed that species were predestined to change into another species. Etienne Geoffroy St-Hilaire was Lamarck's embryologist disciple who invented the term "transmutation" to describe this idea. Charles Lyell, in his Principles of Geology, published in 1833, challenged the concept of evolution and borrowed the term from Geoffroy’s student.
More recently evolutionary biologists have defined evolution as a process that occurs when living things develop characteristics that increase their chances of survival or ability to produce offspring. Over time the genetic variability could result in the development of completely new biological functions or physical traits in the population. This shift in gene frequency is known as natural selection and is the primary driver behind evolutionary changes. Other changes that aren't genetic, such as an increase in muscle mass due to exercise or diet, can't be considered to be evolutionary because they aren't passed on to future generations.
Despite the fact that evolution has stood the test of time and a multitude of scientific experiments, creationists have seized on the idea that the theory is controversial to claim that it shouldn't be taught in school. In South Korea, creationists have won a few victories in their efforts to eliminate evolution from textbooks for high school and have also gotten rid of any mention of the evolutionary history of humans and the Archaeopteryx feathered dinosaur that is thought to be the ancestral bird's parent.
Why is Evolution Important?
Evolution explains how the Earth and 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 all living species came to be. It is also a foundation of biology and helps scientists understand how living organisms work and develop. Evolution also demonstrates how different species are connected. Scientists study evolution in order to better understand nature and make useful discoveries, such as the development of new treatments.
The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. No other scientific theory explains more about the universe and life on this planet. It has been thoroughly studied and verified for many years. Many people, even some religious leaders, are in support of the scientific theory. It is important to note that evolutionary biology doesn't contradict religious beliefs, 에볼루션 사이트 since the theory only deals with processes, objects, and events within the physical world.
Many religious people have found a way to reconcile evolution with their beliefs. For instance certain Christians believe that God created the universe through evolution and 무료에볼루션 that humans have an ancestral connection with other animals.
It is crucial for science educators to support the teaching of evolution. Unfortunately, in some countries around the globe, anti-evolution sentiment is growing. In the United States some states have taken measures to restrict teaching evolution. In South Korea, a group called the Society for Textbook Revise (STR) which is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research, is campaigning for the removal of textbook content on the evolution of horses and the avian ancestor Archaeopteryx.
Although these are alarming developments, it is important to keep in mind that the evidence for evolution is overwhelming. The evidence comes from a diverse range of sources, such as fossils, genetic studies and the behavior of living organisms. Other scientists independently confirm the evidence.
The vast majority of scientists support the theory of evolution. This belief is based on many different reasons. Certain scientists study evolution to discover practical solutions such as the development of new medicines or enhancing existing ones. Others do this to improve animal and plants species, mostly to benefit of humans. Some are simply curious, while others have a profound faith in God and seek to understand how the universe works.
What is Creationism?
Creationists are those who believe that God created the universe and all that is in it. They also believe that the Bible is God's word and should be interpreted in a literal manner. Although not all creationists are Christian however, they are a majority. Creationists generally fall in one of two categories: Young Earth creationists (YEC) and old earth creationists (OEC).
The most popular type of creationist is known as the YEC. They believe that God created the universe exactly in the manner described in the Bible. YECs believe that the biblical account of the six days of creation is literal and that the universe and 에볼루션 슬롯 life on Earth began only recently.
OECs might not be as well-known however their beliefs are just as fierce as the YECs. OECs believe that the universe and all life on Earth are billions of years old, and they believe that evolution is a myth.
Both types of creationism reject the scientific theories that biogenesis and natural selection could explain how life came to be on Earth. They claim that evolution is impossible because it requires an extraordinary event, and that the founders of modern science eschewed miracles for fear that they would lose credibility.
Some creationists accept naturalistic evolutionary and also special creation, and consider their views to be "theistic evolution." This is also known as "continuous evolutionism" or the "evolution of created kinds." In this belief system, God creates the original species, and then allows them to change over time. Eventually these evolutionary changes will create new species that are identical to the original species.
Other creationists believe that God created the universe and all living things during a single event, referred to as the Great Flood. They believe that all species were created at the same time and then slowly evolved. They reject the concept of abiogenesis and claim that self-replicating living cannot come from nonliving matter.
In general, creationists oppose the teaching of evolution in schools. This position is supported by a variety of professional organizations, including the National Science Teachers Association, the Association for Science Teacher Education, the American Anthropological Association, and the Geological Society of America. Some academic institutions and scientists are, however, more flexible and permit both evolution and creationism to be included in their curricula.
What exactly is Creationism in Korea?
When people think of creationism typically think of the United States. South Korea also has an anti-evolutionist group. The publishers of high school textbooks have recently announced that they will remove references to evolution from their editions. A group known as the Society for Textbook Revise (STR) is an independent organization that is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research which is the driving force behind the campaign. The STR has won its first victory by removing from textbooks the evidence of the evolution and ancestor of the avian, the Archeopteryx. It is now focusing on the removal of excerpts from Darwin's notorious finch research as well as on human evolution as well.
STR claims to have the support of 4,000 families and members. Its goal, it says, is to rid the world of what it calls "atheist materialism" that paints a negative view for students. It also seeks to counter the influence of American Creationists across the country. A survey of trainees in biology revealed that a majority of them did not believe in evolution. The causes are not clear, but could include religion or the absence of creation scientists in the country.
The KACR has achieved a number of things through its seminars and lectures. It publishes a bimonthly news magazine, Creation, and has published books. One of them was an educational textbook on natural sciences with a creationist stance. It sparked interest in the college community. In 1991, a professor, along with a minister, began teaching Creation Science at one university. It is still taught in the present.
On August 6 and 7, 1993, 에볼루션 룰렛 사이트; Http://www.shelbyforums.com, KACR hosted a second International Symposium on Creation Research. It was held in conjunction with the opening of the World Expo in Daejeon. Six lecturers from outside the country, including ICR's John Morris and Steven Austin, spoke to an audience of several thousand. KACR members and KACR have also presented lectures on creation science in prestigious seminaries. KACR is planning to create a Creation Science Education Center.
