Growing up in a family that shared strong Christian and scientific values, our family dinners were always rippled with engaging arguments on several controversial topics. One of these issues that normally gained so much attention was evolution: Darwin’s Evolution Theory. With my father, we carefully discussed this theory and as a young scientist, I have come to the conclusion that Darwin’s Evolution Theory was mostly based on speculation.
Darwin emphasizes that all species share a common ancestor and that complex life forms evolved from simpler ones through various genetic mutations. While I agree with Darwin’s idea of adaptation because organisms can adopt certain lifestyles or features to adapt survive, I find his idea of complexity difficult to believ
Supposing we humans came from smaller life forms and evolved to our current nature, wouldn’t it be possible for us to return to these simpler life forms later? This idea of complexity normally plagued my discussions with my father because as a scientist, I understand that complexity can arise from other means like random mutations that have limited effects on organisms, and an organism can quickly become complex through this mean
Besides, Darwin himself doubted this theory, calling it absurd and as I find it conflicting, I have decided to stick with my faith on an ultimate creator who shaped the universe. With utmost respect for Darwin, I do not believe that this theory embellishes evolution as a whole as it is subject to several disparities
