What is the difference between the story of creation and the theory of evolution?

Answer 1

The story of creation, as told in The Bible, is that God created everything in an order, starting with heaven and earth, from there he went on to give light to the earth, called the light day and the dark night, then he created water and sky and land, and the changing of night to day and day to night marks the passing of seasons and days and years, and then animals are created, and finally on the 6th day, God created man in his own image, man and woman. The whole principle of the story of creation is that humans and animals and all things in the world were created by a higher being, called God who is actually called other things, depending on your beliefs, and the idea is basically that you have to believe that The theory of evolution however, is that the earth is billions of years old (as opposed to several thousand years old) and that all creatures evolved from small organisms that grew from bacteria in the primeval sea of the earth. Over time creatures changed and adapted to their surroundings, and some creatures evolved to move onto land, as the oceans were receding. One species that lived in the rain forests of the slightly older earth was the monkeys, much like the monkeys we see today. Over time some apes left the trees and we can see them today, gorillas orangutans etc. One of the species that left the trees was called homo erectus and they were the ancestors of us today You must choose what you believe in.

Answer 2

The two most widely-known are the tradition of Creation, and the theory of Evolution. According to the theory of Evolution, life developed by random processes, especially mutations.

The narrative of Divine Creation, which is contained in Genesis ch.1 and 2, states that God created the universe. This teaches us that God exists, that our lives and the world are not random, and that the created things may be assumed to contain vast wisdom in their beautiful and purposeful design. (In recent decades, this wisdom has indeed been partially revealed, through increasingly powerful microscopes.)Evolution through random mutations, on the other hand, may be understood as implying that life is an accident, that perceived beauty and wisdom are ultimately purposeless, and that our instinctive yearning for the Eternal is just an electrical impulse in our brain.
