Evolution Korea<br><br>In the past, the Korean scientific community avoided working with creationists due to the fear of giving the movement more credibility. But silence is no longer an option.<br><br>The STR has been fighting to get evolution-related content from textbooks, including the discovery that the feathered Archaeopteryx was an ancestral bird. This is only one aspect of how the development paradigm has evolved.<br><br>What is Evolution?<br><br>Evolution is a theory of science that explains the change in the genetic traits of living organisms over time. The theory is based on fact that living things adapt to their environment, which can cause variations in genes or even whole genomes. These changes can over many generations result in the development of new species. The prevailing theory of evolution is natural selection, which describes the process that allows individuals with advantageous characteristics survive and reproduce more often than those with disadvantageous characteristics. This variation in reproduction could, over time, lead to the creation and evolution of new species.<br><br>The word "evolution" originates from the Latin word"evolution" which means unrolling or revealing, but the concept has had a variety of meanings over the years as it has taken form in the fields of science and in other fields. Early evolutionists like Erasmus Darwin (Charles’s grandfather) and Jean Baptiste de Lamarck believed that species were predetermined to change into another species. Etienne Geoffroy St-Hilaire was Lamarck's embryologist student who coined the term "transmutation" to describe this view. Charles Lyell, in his Principles of Geology, published in 1833, attacked the concept of evolution and borrowed the term from Geoffroy's student.<br><br>Evolutionary biologists define it more recently as a process by which living organisms develop traits to improve their chances of survival or conceiving offspring. Over time, genetic variability can lead a population to acquire new physical characteristics or biological functions. Natural selection is the process that drives the majority of evolutionary changes. Non-genetic changes, such as an increase in muscle mass from exercise or diet, can't be considered to be evolution since they aren't passed on to future generations.<br><br>Creationists make the argument that evolution is controversial even though it has been proven to be true by thousands of scientific tests and that it has stood the test of time. They argue that the theory should not be taught at school. In South Korea, creationists have had a few wins in their fight to remove evolution from high school textbooks and have also gotten rid of any mention of the evolutionary roots of humans and [https://bbs.airav.cc/home.php?mod=space&uid=2374447 에볼루션 바카라 무료] the Archaeopteryx feathered dinosaur believed to be the ancestral bird's parent.<br><br>Why is Evolution Important?<br><br>Evolution explains how Earth and all living species evolved. It is one of the fundamentals of biology, and helps scientists discover how living things operate and develop. Evolution also demonstrates how different species are connected. Scientists study evolution to gain a better understanding of the natural world, and also to make important discoveries like the development of new medicines.<br><br>The evidence for biological evolution is overwhelming. No other scientific theory can explain as much about the universe and life on this planet. It has been thoroughly studied and verified for many years. Many people, including some religious leaders, support the scientific theory of evolution. It is essential to remember that evolutionary biology does not interfere with religious beliefs since it only deals with physical objects, events and processes.<br><br>In reality many religious individuals have come up with ways to reconcile their beliefs with the theory of evolution. Certain Christians for instance, believe that God created everything through evolution and that humans share a common ancestry to 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 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) which is an offshoot from the Korea Association for Creation Research is urging the removal of textbook content about the evolution of horses and the avian ancestral Archaeopteryx.<br><br>Although these are alarming developments, it is important to keep in mind 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 confirm the evidence.<br><br>The majority of scientists believe in the theory of evolution. This support is based on various reasons. Some scientists are studying evolution to make practical discoveries such as developing new medicines and other treatments, while others use it to improve the lives of animals and plant species, typically to benefit of humans. Some scientists are just curious, while others hold a a strong religious belief in God.<br><br>What is Creationism?<br><br>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 taken literally. Many creationists are Christians however, not all. Creationists are generally divided into two categories: Young Earth Creationists (YEC) or old earth creationists.<br><br>The YECs are the best known type of creationist, and they believe that God created the universe exactly as described in the Bible. YECs hold that the biblical account of the first six days of creation was literal and that the universe as well as life on Earth were created only recently.<br><br>OECs are less well known, but they are as committed to their beliefs as YECs. OECs believe that the universe and life on Earth are billions of years old, and that evolution is a myth.<br><br>Both types of creationism reject the notion that scientific theories such as natural selection and abiogenesis can explain the origin of life on Earth. They claim that evolution is not possible because it requires the creation of a miracle, and the scientists who founded modern science eschewed miracles for fear of losing credibility.<br><br>Some creationists believe in naturalistic evolution and also special creation, and refer to their belief as "theistic evolution." This is sometimes referred to as "continuous creationism" or "evolution from created kinds." In this belief system, God creates the original species and then allows them to evolve over time. These evolutionary changes eventually will result in new species that are similar to the original.<br><br>Other creationists hold that God created the universe and all living things in a single event, known as the Great Flood. Creationists believe that the first species were created at the same time and that they grew slowly afterwards. They also reject the concept of abiogenesis and claim that the creation of self-replicating organisms from nonliving matter is not possible.<br><br>In general, the creationists oppose the teaching of evolution in schools. This is a position that is backed by numerous professional organizations which include the National Science Teachers Association, the Association for Science Teacher Education and the American Anthropological Association, and the Geological Society of America. Some academic institutions and 에볼루션코리아 - [https://holmgaard-hu-2.technetbloggers.de/how-evolution-casino-site-became-the-top-trend-in-social-media/ holmgaard-hu-2.technetbloggers.de], scientists are however more flexible and [https://thorhauge-paaske.hubstack.net/why-you-should-focus-on-improving-evolution-korea/ 에볼루션 바카라 무료체험]사이트 ([http://www.ksye.cn/space/uid-885722.html Http://www.Ksye.Cn/]) allow both creationism and evolution to be incorporated into their curriculum.<br><br>What is Creationism in Korea?<br><br>When people think of the concept of creationism typically think of the United States. However, South Korea is also home to an anti-evolutionist movement. The publishers of high-school textbooks announced last week that they would eliminate the mention of evolution in their textbooks. A group dubbed the Society for Textbook Revise (STR) is an independent organization that is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research and has been the driving force behind the move. STR has secured its first victory in taking away instances of the evolution of the horse and an avian ancestor called the Archeopteryx from textbooks. It is now focusing on removing excerpts from Darwin's infamous finch research and on human evolution too.<br><br>STR claims that it has the support of 4,000 families and individual members. Its goal, [https://leghot99.bravejournal.net/how-to-solve-issues-related-to-evolution-korea 바카라 에볼루션] it says is to cleanse the world of what it calls "atheist materialism" which portrays a negative view for students. It also hopes to combat the influence of American creationists who live in the US. A survey of the newest biology teachers revealed that a majority do not believe in the concept of evolution. The reasons for this aren't entirely evident, but they could be due to religion or the absence of creation scientists in the US.<br><br>The KACR has achieved many things through its seminars and lectures. It publishes a bimonthly magazine, Creation, and has published books. One of them was an educational textbook on natural sciences that had a creationist perspective. This led to an interest in college communities. In 1991, a professor along with a minister, began teaching Creation Science at one university. It is still taught in the present.<br><br>On August 6th and 7th of 1993, KACR hosted a second International Symposium on Creation Research. It was held in conjunction with the opening of the World Expo in Daejeon. Six lecturers from around the world including ICR's John Morris, Duane Gish, and Steven Austin spoke to audiences of over a thousand. KACR members and KACR have also presented lectures on the subject of creation science at major seminaries. KACR is planning to create a Creation Science Education Center.
