Paper Topic:

Evolution: Misconception or Reality

Evolution

Misconception or Reality Evolution had always been a contentious concept , ever since it was proposed by Charles 's Darwin along with his followers . Controversy arose more prominently today that more and more contradiction about the methodologies and data gathering process of the scientist are being put into question . The unresolved conflict present in the data 's and the lack of evidence that would further strengthen and give light to the mysteries of evolution remains to be a problem . Religion among others has given a wide range of criticism and persuasive

arguments about the impossibility and inconsistencies of the evolution theory . Although it is undeniable that indeed , Darwin is right to question the possibility of the adaptation process that animals or every living things do in able to survive . One of the most talked about kind of evolution is that which concerns the evolution of human beings

Not everyone welcomes the idea that human beings came or are descendants of apes . However , the presence of a wide range of evidence seems to logically point us into the feasibility of human evolution . Human evolution is not only contained in the idea that the great apes of the past are the ancestors of modern man , but it also includes the various cultural and sociological changes that is present in the process . This is the reason why , aside from the physiological similarity of man and apes , the socio-cultural aspect of evolution is also taken under consideration . In my opinion , as far as the evidence are concerned humans are possible descendants of the apes but it must be taken into account , that even though both modern apes and modern humans came from the same ancestor , it doesn 't mean that they have equal capabilities . As far as science goes , life forms on earth all came or evolved from a single-celled cyanobacter bacteria that results from the different natural forces on the earth 's surface . So , if we would believe in this argument , it is not a problem to accept that we are , in fact descendants of the great apes . It just seems to be uncomfortable , but whether it is a misconception or a reality actually depends on the faith that the spectator or the person have . If it be faith on God or faith on science , what one can be sure of is that similarities and differences are present in every living creature , but everyone of them comes from a single source , may that be from God or from a bacteria , or both

In to make the truth of evolution ' easier to bear for the common man , scientist devised a multi-faceted evolutionary tree that describes how men evolved from great apes . Indeed this multi-branch bush ' is a common explanation or evidence that humans although believed to be lined with apes are different from them in a lot of ways . I believe that this sort of evolutionary tree is a good representation of the evolution process rather than that of the unilateral ladder approach...
