Evolution Korea Up until recently the Korean scientific community resisted working with creationists due to the fear of giving the movement more credibility. But silence is no longer an option. The STR has been fighting to eliminate information about evolution from textbooks including the discovery that the feathered Archaeopteryx was an ancestor bird. However, this is just one aspect of the development paradigm's evolution. What is Evolution? Evolution is a theory of science that explains changes in genetic characteristics over time. The theory is based on the fact that living organisms adapt to their surroundings and this can lead to changes in genes or even complete genomes. These changes could over generations lead to the creation of new species. The prevailing theory of evolution is natural selection, which explains the process that allows individuals with advantageous characteristics survive and reproduce more frequently than those with less favorable characteristics. This differing reproduction may eventually lead to the creation and evolution of new species. The term “evolution” originates from the Latin word for unrolling or revealing. However, the concept has had a variety of meanings over the years as it has taken form in the sciences and other fields. Some early evolutionists, including Jean Baptiste de Lamarck and Erasmus Darwin (Charles's grandfather), believed that existing species changed into other species in a certain way. The term transmutation was coined by the Lamarck's disciple, embryologist Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire to describe this notion. Charles Lyell, in his Principles of Geology, published in 1833, challenged the idea of evolution and borrowed the term from Geoffroy's student. Recently evolutionary biologists have defined evolution as a process that occurs when living creatures develop characteristics that increase their chances of survival, or their ability to reproduce offspring. Over time, this genetic variability can result in the development of entirely new physical or biological traits in the population. This change in gene frequencies is called natural selection, and it is the main driver of evolutionary change. However, non-genetic changes such as increases in muscle mass from diet or exercise cannot be considered examples of evolution since they are not inherited by future generations. Creationists have a tendency to use the argument that evolution is controversial even though it has been proven to be valid by a multitude of scientific tests and that it has stood the test of time. They argue that the theory shouldn't be taught at school. In South Korea, creationists have gained a few victories in their campaign to exclude evolution from textbooks for high school, including the removal of any mention of the evolutionary origins of humans as well as the Archaeopteryx, a feathered dinosaur that is thought to be the ancestral bird's ancestor. Why is Evolution Important? Evolution explains the origins and evolution of Earth and all living species. It is also a foundation of biology that helps scientists understand how living organisms work and develop. Evolution also reveals the relationships between species. Scientists study evolution in order to better comprehend nature and make important discoveries like new drugs. The evidence for biological evolution is overwhelming. There is no other scientific theory that can explain so much about the universe and life on earth and has been thoroughly tested and confirmed over the course of many years. Many people, including some religious leaders, believe in the theory of evolution as a scientific fact. It is crucial to keep in mind that evolutionary biology isn't in contradict religious beliefs because it only deals with physical objects, events and processes. Many religious people have come up with a way of reconciling evolution with their convictions. For example, some Christians believe that God created the world through evolution and that humans have an ancestral connection with other animals. It is essential that science educators stand up for teaching evolution. In certain countries, the anti-evolution movement is growing. In the United States, efforts to limit the teaching of evolution have made some progress in some states. In South Korea, a group called the Society for Textbook Revise (STR), an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research is urging the removal of textbooks about the evolution of horses as well as the Avian ancestral Archaeopteryx. Although these are alarming developments, it is also important to keep in mind that the evidence for evolution is overwhelming. The evidence for evolution comes from many sources, including fossils, genetics and the behavior of living creatures. The evidence is also independently verified by other scientists. The majority of scientists support the theory of evolution. The reasons behind this support are diverse. Scientists study evolution to make practical discoveries that can lead to the development of new medications and other treatments, while others are driven by a desire to improve animal and plant species, generally to benefit humans. Some are simply curious, whereas others have a deep faith in God and are seeking to know how the universe functions. What is Creationism? Creationists believe that God created all things in the universe. They also believe that the Bible is the word of God and should be taken seriously. Many creationists are Christians, but not all. Creationists are typically divided into two categories: Young Earth Creationists (YEC) or old earth creationists. The YECs are the best known type of creationist and they believe that God created the world in the exact way described in the Bible. YECs believe that the biblical account of the creation's six days is literal and that the universe and life on Earth was created only recently. OECs are less well known However, they are as committed to their beliefs as YECs. OECs believe that the universe and Earth are billions of years old and believe that evolution is a myth. Both forms of creationism deny the scientific theories that natural selection and biogenesis can explain how life started on Earth. They claim that evolution isn't possible because it requires an extraordinary event, and that the founders of modern science rejected miracles out of fear that they would lose credibility. Some creationists accept both naturalistic evolution and special creation, and refer to their belief “theistic evolution.” This is sometimes also known as “continuous creationism” or “evolution from the created species.” The theory suggests that God creates original species and then allows these to evolve over time. Eventually these evolutionary changes will create new species that are similar to the original ones. Other creationists hold that God created the universe and all living things during a single event, known as the Great Flood. These creationists believe that the first species were all created simultaneously, and that they developed gradually afterward. They also reject the idea of abiogenesis and claim that the emergence of self-replicating organisms from nonliving matter is unattainable. In general, the creationists are against teaching evolution in schools. This is supported by a myriad of professional associations which include the National Science Teachers Association, the Association for Science Teacher Education as well as the American Anthropological Association, and the Geological Society of America. However, certain researchers and educational institutions are more flexible and allow for the inclusion of creationism and evolution in their curriculum. What exactly is Creationism in Korea? When people think about the concept of creationism, a lot 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. The Society for Textbook Revise, an independent body that is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research (KACCR) is the one who has led this drive. The STR has scored its first victory by removing from textbooks the evidence of the evolution and ancestor of an avian, the Archeopteryx. It is now focusing on the removal of excerpts from Darwin's notorious finch research and on human evolution, too. STR claims that it has the support of around 4000 families and individuals. Its goal is to weed out what it regards as the “atheist materialism” that reflects a hopeless worldview for students. It also seeks to counter the influence of American creationists in the United States. A survey of undergraduates studying biology revealed that a majority of them did not believe in evolution. The reasons aren't certain, but could be related to religious beliefs or the absence of creation scientists in the country. The KACR has achieved many things in the past through seminars and lectures. It publishes a bimonthly news magazine, Creation, and has published books. The most notable of these is a text on the natural sciences that has an orthodox creationist perspective, which has sparked interest among college students. In 1991 an academic and minister started teaching Creation Science in one university, and it is taught until today. On August 6 and 7 in 1993, the same day that the World Expo opened in Daejeon, KACR held a second International Symposium on Creation Research. 에볼루션 바카라 체험 from abroad including ICR's John Morris and Steven Austin, spoke to thousands of people. KACR members and KACR have also given talks on creation science in major seminaries. KACR plans to establish a Creation Science Education Center.
