Evolution Korea<br><br>In the past the Korean scientific community been hesitant to engage with the creationists in fear that doing so could give the movement more credibility. Silence is no longer an alternative.<br><br>The STR has been campaigning to remove content from textbooks that describe evolution, including the discovery of the feathered dinosaur Archaeopteryx as an ancestral bird's ancestor. This is only one aspect of how the development paradigm has evolved.<br><br>What is Evolution?<br><br>The theory of evolution is a scientific one that explains the evolution of the genetic characteristics of living organisms over time. The theory is based on the fact that living organisms adapt to their environment and this can lead to changes in genes, or even entire genomes. These changes can, over generations lead to the emergence of new species. The predominant theory of evolution is natural selection, which describes the process by which individuals with advantageous characteristics survive and reproduce more frequently than those with disadvantages. Over time, this differential reproduction could result in the creation of completely new species.<br><br>The word "evolution", which comes from the Latin for revealing or unrolling has been used in a variety of different ways as the concept has developed, both in science and in 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 planned manner. Etienne Geoffroy St-Hilaire, Lamarck's embryologist pupil who coined the term "transmutation" to describe this theory. Charles Lyell, who published the second volume of his Principles of Geology in 1833 opposed this notion and borrowed the term "evolution" from Geoffroy's student to describe the idea that existing species change into new species in a gradual and predictable way.<br><br>Evolutionary biologists define it more recently as a process through which living organisms develop traits to improve their chances of living or producing offspring. In time this genetic variation can result in the development of entirely new physical or biological functions in the same population. Such a change in gene frequencies is called natural selection, and it is the main driver of evolutionary change. However other changes that are not genetic, such as increases in muscle mass due to diet or exercise cannot be considered examples of evolution because they are not passed on to future generations.<br><br>Creationists have a tendency to use the argument that evolution is controversial, despite the fact that it has been proven to be accurate by thousands of scientific tests and it has stood the test of time. They argue that the theory shouldn't be taught at school. In South Korea, creationists have won a few victories in their fight to remove evolution from textbooks for high school and have also gotten rid of references to the evolutionary roots of humans, as well as the Archaeopteryx feathered dinosaur that is thought to be an ancestral bird's parent.<br><br>Why is Evolution important to humanity?<br><br>Evolution explains how Earth and all its living species evolved. It also serves as a basis of biology that helps scientists understand how living organisms work and develop. Evolution also shows how various species are interconnected. Scientists study evolution to better understand the natural world and to make useful discoveries, such as developing new drugs.<br><br>The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. No other scientific theory explains as much about the universe and the life on this planet. It has been thoroughly studied and verified for many years. Many people, including some religious leaders, are in favor of the scientific theory of evolution. It is important to note that evolutionary biology does not conflict with religious beliefs, since the theory only deals with things, events and processes within the physical world.<br><br>In fact many religious individuals have found ways to reconcile their beliefs with evolutionary theory. For example some Christians believe that God created the universe through evolution and that humans have an ancestral lineage with other animals.<br><br>It is important for science educators to stand up for the teaching of evolution. In some countries, the anti-evolution movement has been rising. In the United States, efforts to limit the teaching of evolution have made progress in a few states. In South Korea, a group called the Society for Textbook Revise, an offshoot from the Korea Association for Creation Research (KAC), is campaigning for textbook content on the evolutionary history of horses and their ancestral avian species Archaeopteryx.<br><br>It is vital to remember, however, that the evidence in favor of evolution is overwhelming. The evidence comes from a broad range of sources, [http://consultcentr.ru/bitrix/redirect.php?goto=https://evolutionkr.kr/ ์๋ณผ๋ฃจ์ ๋ฐ์นด๋ผ]์ฌ์ดํธ ([http://api.hengqian.net/cloudsite/loginout.json?redirectURL=https%3A%2F%2Fevolutionkr.kr%2F Related Web Page]) such as fossils, genetic studies, and the behavior of living organisms. Other scientists independently confirm the evidence.<br><br>The majority of scientists support the theory of evolution. This support is based on a variety of reasons. Some scientists study evolution to make practical discoveries, such as the development of new medicines and other treatments, while others use it to improve the lives of animals and plant species, usually for the benefit of humans. Some scientists are simply curious, while others hold a a strong religious belief in God.<br><br>What is Creationism?<br><br>Creationists believe that God created everything in the universe. They also believe the Bible is God's word and should be interpreted in a literal manner. Although Creationists may not all be Christian, they are a majority. Creationists are typically divided into two groups: Young Earth Creationists (YEC) or [https://affiliate.maxvaluesoftware.com/scripts/click.php?a_aid=algenkel&a_bid=1336c6bf&desturl=https://evolutionkr.kr/ ์๋ณผ๋ฃจ์ ๊ฒ์ด๋ฐ] old earth creationists.<br><br>The YECs are perhaps the most well known type of creationist and they believe that God created the world exactly as described in the Bible. YECs hold that the biblical account of six days of creation was true and that the universe as well as life on Earth were created just recently.<br><br>OECs may be less popular however their beliefs are just as fierce as the YECs. OECs believe that the universe and Earth are billions of years old and believe that evolution is a lie.<br><br>Both kinds of creationism deny that scientific principles such as biogenesis and natural selection could explain how life came to be on Earth. They assert that evolution is not possible because it would require miracles. The founders of modern scientific thought resisted miracles out of fear they might lose their credibility.<br><br>Some creationists believe in naturalistic evolution and special creation. They refer to their belief as "theistic evolution." This is also referred to as "continuous evolutionism" or the "evolution of created kinds." In this view, God creates the original species and then allows them to change over time. These evolution changes will eventually result in new species similar to the original.<br><br>Other creationists believe that God created the universe and all living things in a single event, called the Great Flood. Creationists believe that the first species were all created simultaneously, and [http://narin-kala.ru/redirect?url=https://evolutionkr.kr/ ์๋ณผ๋ฃจ์ ์นด์ง๋ ธ] that they developed gradually afterward. They also reject the concept of abiogenesis and argue that the emergence of self-replicating organisms from nonliving matter is not possible.<br><br>In general, creationists oppose the teaching of 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, the American Anthropological Association, and the Geological Society of America. Certain scientists and educational institutions, however, are more flexible and permit both creationism and evolution to be incorporated into their curricula.<br><br>What exactly is Creationism in Korea?<br><br>When people think of the concept of creationism, they often think of the United States. However, South Korea is also home to an anti-evolutionist movement. The publishers of high school textbooks announced recently that they would eliminate references to evolution in their editions. The Society for Textbook Revise, an independent body which is an offshoot from the Korea Association for Creation Research (KACCR), has led this campaign. The STR has scored its first victory by removing from textbooks the evidence of the evolution and ancestor of an avian, called the Archeopteryx. The next goal is to remove portions of Darwin's notorious finch-research as well as on human evolution.<br><br>STR claims that it has the backing of 4,000 families and members. The goal, according to STR, is to rid the world of what it calls "atheist materialism" that paints an unflattering image for students. It also aims to counteract the influence of American creationists in the country. A survey of trainees in biology revealed that a majority of them did not believe evolution. The reasons aren't evident, but they could be due to religious beliefs or the lack of creation scientists in the US.<br><br>The KACR accomplished a number of things through its lectures and seminars in the past. It publishes a bimonthly news magazine, Creation, and has published books. One of them was an educational textbook on natural sciences with a creationist stance. It sparked interest among college communities. In 1991 the year 1991, a minister and professor started teaching Creation Science in one university and it is taught until today.<br><br>On August 6th and 7th of 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 and its members have been delivering talks on creation science at major seminaries as well. KACR plans to establish a Creation Science Education Center in the near future.
