Evolution Korea

Up until recently the Korean scientific community resisted engaging with creationists for fear of giving the movement more credibility. Silence is no longer a viable option.

The STR has been battling to remove content from textbooks that discuss evolution, such as the discovery of the feathered dinosaur Archaeopteryx as an ancestral bird's ancestor. However, this is just one aspect of the evolution of the developmental paradigm.

What is Evolution?

Evolution is a theory of science that explains the evolution of genetic traits over time. The theory is based on the fact that living organisms adapt to their environment, which could result in variations in genes or even whole genomes. These changes can, 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 over generations lead to the creation of new species. Natural selection is the dominant theory of evolution. It explains how people with traits that are advantageous are more likely to reproduce and survive than those with less advantageous traits. This differing reproduction may be a catalyst to the emergence and evolution of new species.

The term "evolution", which comes from Latin for revealing or unrolling, has been used in many different ways as the concept has evolved in both science and elsewhere. Early evolutionists such as Erasmus Darwin (Charles’s grandfather) and Jean Baptiste de Lamarck believed that species were predestined to change into a new species. Etienne Geoffroy St-Hilaire was Lamarck's embryologist student who invented the term "transmutation" to describe this idea. Charles Lyell, in his Principles of Geology, published in 1833, criticized the idea of evolution and borrowed the term from Geoffroy's student.

Evolutionary biologists define it more recently as a process by which living organisms develop traits that increase their chances of surviving or conceiving offspring. As time passes, this genetic variability can cause the emergence of completely new physical or biological traits in a population. The change in gene frequencies is known as natural selection and it is the main driver of evolutionary change. However non-genetic changes like increases in the muscle mass as a result of exercise or diet cannot be considered examples of evolution since they are not passed on to future generations.

Despite the fact that evolution has withstood the test of time and a multitude of scientific studies, creationists have seized on the notion that the theory is controversial and argue that it should not be taught in school. In South Korea, creationists have had a few wins in their efforts to eliminate evolution from textbooks for high school, including the removal of references to the evolutionary roots of humans and the Archaeopteryx feathered dinosaur believed to be an ancestral bird's parent.

Why is Evolution Important for Humanity?

Evolution explains how the Earth and all living species came to be. It is also a foundation of biology, and aids scientists learn how living organisms function and grow. Evolution also helps us understand the connections between different species. Scientists study evolution in order to better understand nature and make useful discoveries, such as the development of new drugs.

The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. No other scientific theory explains as much about the universe and life on earth. It has been rigorously examined and confirmed for many years. Many people, even some religious leaders, are in support of the scientific theory. It is important to remember that evolutionary biology doesn't conflict with religious beliefs, since the theory is based on objects, events and processes in the physical world.

Many religious people have found a way to reconcile evolution with their beliefs. For example some Christians believe that God created the universe through evolution and that humans have an ancestral lineage with other animals.

It is crucial that scientists and educators speak out for the teaching of evolution. In some countries, the anti-evolution movement is growing. In the United States some states have taken steps to limit the 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 textbooks about the evolution of horses as well as the bird ancestor Archaeopteryx.

Although these are alarming developments, it is also important to remember that the evidence for evolution is overwhelming. The evidence for evolution comes from a variety of sources, including fossils, genetics, and the behavior of living creatures. Other scientists independently verify the evidence.

The majority of scientists supports the theory of evolution. The reason for this is a variety of reasons. Scientists study evolution in order to make practical discoveries such as developing new drugs or enhancing existing ones. Others do this to improve the quality of animal and plant species, usually for the benefit of humans. Some are simply curious, whereas others have a deep religious belief in God and are seeking 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 the Bible is God's word and should be interpreted in a literal manner. Although not all creationists are Christian, they are a majority. Creationists are usually divided into two categories: Young Earth Creationists (YEC) or old earth creationists.

The YECs are the best known form of creationist, and they believe that God created the universe in the exact way described in the Bible. They believe that the biblical account of the six days of creation is literal and that the universe and the life on Earth were created only recently.

OECs are less well known however they are just as committed to their beliefs as YECs. OECs believe that the universe and life on Earth are billions of years old and they believe that evolution is an untruth.

Both types of creationism deny that scientific theories such as natural selection and abiogenesis are able to explain the origins of life on Earth. They claim that evolution is not possible because it requires miracles. The founders of modern science shunned miracles in fear that they might lose their credibility.

Some creationists accept both naturalistic evolution and special creation, and refer to their belief "theistic evolution." This is sometimes referred to as "continuous creationism" or "evolution from the created species." This theory states that God creates original species and then allows these to change over time. These evolution changes will eventually result in new species that are similar to the original.

Other creationists hold that God created the universe and all living things in a single event, known as the Great Flood. Creationists believe that all the original species were created at the same time and that they gradually evolved. They reject the idea of abiogenesis and assert that self-replicating life can't come from non-living matter.

In general, creationists oppose the teaching of evolution in schools. This is a position that is backed by a myriad of professional associations such as the National Science Teachers Association, the Association for Science Teacher Education as well as the American Anthropological Association, and the Geological Society of America. Some scientists and educational institutions are, however, more flexible and allow evolution and creationism to be included in their curricula.

What exactly is Creationism in Korea?

When people think of the concept of creationism most often, they think of the United States. However, South Korea is also home to an anti-evolutionist movement. The publishers of textbooks for high school students have recently declared that they will be removing references to evolution from their books. The Society for Textbook Revise, 에볼루션 바카라 사이트코리아 - www.footballzaa.com published a blog post - an independent body which is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research (KACCR) is the one who has led this effort. STR has secured its first victory in removing examples of the evolution of the horse as well as an avian ancestor, called the Archeopteryx in textbooks. It is now focusing on the removal of excerpts from Darwin's notorious finch research as well as on human evolution, 에볼루션 (Delphi.Larsbo.Org) too.

STR claims to have the support of around 4,000 families and individuals. Its mission, it states is to clear the world of what it calls "atheist materialism" that paints an unflattering image for students. It also seeks to counter the influence of American Creationists in the United States. A survey of biology students teachers found that about half do not believe in the concept of evolution. The causes are not evident, but they could be due to religion or the absence of creation scientists in the US.

The KACR has achieved a number of things in the past through seminars and lectures. It publishes a bimonthly magazine, Creation, and has published books. One of these was a textbook on natural sciences with a creationist stance. This sparked an interest in the college community. In 1991, a professor along with a minister began teaching Creation Science at one university. It is still taught today.

On August 6 and 7, 1993, KACR hosted a second International Symposium on Creation Research. This was held in conjunction with the opening of the World Expo in Daejeon. Six lecturers from abroad including ICR's John Morris, Duane Gish and Steven Austin spoke to audiences of a few thousand. KACR members and KACR have also presented lectures on creation science in major seminaries. KACR plans to create a Creation Science Education Center in the future.
