Evolution Vs. Creation

Charles Darwin was the originator of the human evolution theory,he published a book called the Origin of Species. Charles Darwin stated that humans were not created but evolved from primitive species. Human evolution is the believe that humans came from an earlier form of species.It is a theory to describe development and change. The direct lineage from the ancestor of both man and the modern apes to modern man is not known. Evidence is increasing. Thousands of relics fit the general pattern. Some controversy exists on the time of this common ancestor to both ape and human, but it is believed to be about 5.5 million years ago. Creation was the human act of creating. Creation theology encompasses the belief that human beings, the world and the universe were created by a supreme being or deity. Deity as in a god, is a postulated preternatural being, usually, but not always, of significant power, worshiped, thought holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, or respected by human beings.
