Evolution Korea<br><br>For a long time the scientific community in Korea has been hesitant to engage with the creationists in fear that it could boost the credibility of the group. However, silence is no any longer an option.<br><br>The STR has been campaigning to remove content from textbooks that explain evolution, including the discovery of the feathered dinosaur Archaeopteryx as an ancestral bird's ancestor. But this is merely one aspect of the development paradigm's evolution.<br><br>What is Evolution?<br><br>Evolution is a theory of science that explains changes in genetic characteristics over time. The theory is based on fact that living organisms adapt to their environment and this can lead to changes in genes or even whole genomes. These changes can over many generations lead to the emergence of new species. The most popular theory of evolution is known as natural selection, which explains the process through which individuals with advantageous characteristics survive and reproduce more frequently than those with disadvantageous characteristics. Over time, this differential reproduction may result in the creation of entirely new species.<br><br>The word "evolution", which comes from the Latin for unrolling or revealing has been used in a variety of different ways as the concept has developed in both science and in other fields. Early evolutionists such as 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 invented the term "transmutation" to describe this idea. Charles Lyell, who published the second volume of his Principles of Geology in 1833 challenged this notion and borrowed the term "evolution" from Geoffroy's student to describe the notion that existing species change into new species in a gradual and predictable way.<br><br>Recently evolutionary biologists have defined evolution as a process when living organisms develop traits that enhance their chances of survival or ability to reproduce offspring. Over time the genetic variability could lead to the emergence of completely new physical or biological traits in the population. Such a variation in gene frequencies is known as natural selection and it is the main driver of evolutionary changes. However, [http://xintangtc.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=3880765 에볼루션 코리아] non-genetic changes such as the growth in the muscle mass as a result of diet or exercise cannot be considered examples of evolution since they're not inherited by future generations.<br><br>Creationists make the argument that evolution is controversial, despite the fact that it has been proven to be true by thousands of scientific tests and it has stood the test of time. They claim that the concept should not be taught in schools. In South Korea, creationists won some victories against evolution in textbooks for high schools. This includes the removal of references about the evolutionary origins for humans and Archaeopteryx - a feathered dino believed to be the ancestor of birds.<br><br>Why is Evolution Important?<br><br>Evolution explains how Earth and all living creatures came into existence. It is one of the fundamentals of biology, and helps scientists understand how living things work and develop. Evolution also demonstrates how different species are interconnected. Scientists study evolution to better understand the natural world and also to make important discoveries including the development of new medicines.<br><br>The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. No other scientific theory can explain as much about the universe and 무료에볼루션; [https://king-wifi.win/wiki/Responsible_For_A_Baccarat_Evolution_Budget_12_Ways_To_Spend_Your_Money King-Wifi.Win], life on this planet. It has been thoroughly scrutinized and confirmed for a number of years. Many people, including some religious leaders, are in favor of the theory of evolution as a scientific fact. It is important to understand that evolutionary biology does not conflict with religious beliefs, since the theory only deals with objects, events and processes within the physical world.<br><br>Many religious people have found a way to reconcile evolution with their convictions. Some Christians for instance, believe that God created everything through evolution and that humans share an ancestry that is shared with other animals.<br><br>It is important that science educators stand up for the teaching evolution. In certain countries, the opposition to evolution has been growing. In the United States some states have taken measures to restrict teaching of evolution. In South Korea, a group known as the Society for Textbook Revise (STR), an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research is pushing for the elimination of textbook content about the evolution of horses and the bird ancestral Archaeopteryx.<br><br>While these are troubling changes, it's important to remember that the evidence for evolution is overwhelming. The evidence comes from a broad variety of sources, including fossils, genetic studies, and the behavior of living organisms. Other scientists independently verify the evidence.<br><br>The majority of scientists support the theory of evolution. The reasons behind this belief are diverse. Scientists are studying evolution to discover practical solutions such as the development of new medicines, while others do so to improve the quality of animal and plant species, usually for the benefit of humans. Some scientists are just curious, while others have 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 that the Bible is God's word and should be believed to be true. Although some creationists are not Christian however, they are a majority. Creationists are generally divided into two categories: Young Earth Creationists (YEC) or old earth creationists.<br><br>The most popular kind of creationist is called the YEC. They believe that God created the universe in the exact way that is described in the Bible. They believe that the biblical account of the creation's six days is true, and that the universe and life on Earth was created only recently.<br><br>OECs are less well known however they are just as committed to their beliefs as YECs. OECs believe the universe and Earth are billions of years old and believe that evolution is a myth.<br><br>Both kinds of creationism deny that scientific principles such as biogenesis and [https://bbs.wuxhqi.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=1472530 에볼루션 바카라 무료] natural selection can explain how life began on Earth. They argue that evolution is not possible because it requires miracles. The pioneers of modern science shunned miracles out of fear they would lose their credibility.<br><br>Some creationists believe in naturalistic evolution and special creation and [http://hola666.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=1158817 에볼루션 게이밍] consider their views to be "theistic evolution." This is also known as "continuous evolutionism" or the "evolution of the created species." The theory says that God creates original species and then allows them to change over time. Eventually, these evolutionary changes will produce new species that are like the original ones.<br><br>Other creationists hold that God created the universe and all living things in a single event, referred to as the Great Flood. They believe that all the original species were created at the same time and that they gradually evolved. They deny the notion of abiogenesis, and argue that self-replicating life can't come from non-living matter.<br><br>In general, the creationists oppose the teaching of evolution in schools. This is a position that is backed by a variety of professional organizations, including the National Science Teachers Association, the Association for Science Teacher Education and the American Anthropological Association, and the Geological Society of America. However, certain scientists and educational institutions are more flexible, and permit the inclusion of both evolution and creationism in their curriculum.<br><br>What is Creationism in Korea?<br><br>When people think of the concept of creationism, many of them think of the United States. However, South Korea is also home to an anti-evolutionist movement. The publishers of high school textbooks recently announced that they would eliminate references to evolution in their books. The Society for Textbook Revise, an independent organization that is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research (KACCR), has led this campaign. The STR has won its first victory by removing from textbooks evidence of the evolution and ancestor of an avian, called the Archeopteryx. Its next target is to remove excerpts from Darwin’s infamous finch-research as well as on human evolution.<br><br>STR claims to have the support of 4,000 families and individual members. Its mission is to cut out what it regards as the "atheist materialism" that paints an unhopeful worldview for students. It also seeks to counter the influence of American Creationists in the United States. A survey of biology students teachers revealed that a majority do not believe in the concept of evolution. The reasons for this are not clear however, they could be related to religion and the absence of full-time creation scientists across the United States.<br><br>The KACR achieved many 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 that had a creationist perspective. It sparked interest among college communities. In 1991, a professor, along with a minister, began teaching Creation Science at one university. It is still taught today.<br><br>On August 7 and 8 the 7th of August 1993, which coincided with the World Expo opened in Daejeon, KACR held a second International Symposium on Creation Research. Six lecturers from outside the country including ICR's John Morris and Steven Austin addressed a crowd of more than a thousand. KACR and its members have been delivering lectures on creation science in major seminaries too. KACR plans to create a Creation Science Education Center in the future.
