Evolution Korea<br><br>For a long time the Korean scientific community avoided engaging with the creationists out of fear of giving the movement more credibility. But silence is no longer an option.<br><br>The STR has been battling to remove content from textbooks that explain evolution, including the discovery of the feathered dinosaur Archaeopteryx as an ancestor of birds. But this is merely one aspect of the evolution of the development paradigm.<br><br>What is Evolution?<br><br>Evolution is a concept in science that explains changes in genetic traits over time. The theory is based upon the fact that living organisms adjust to their environment, which may lead to variations in genes or whole genomes. Over time these changes could result in the emergence of new species. Natural selection is the dominant theory of evolution. It describes how individuals who have advantages survive and reproduce more than those with less advantageous traits. This differential reproduction can be a catalyst to the creation and evolution of new species.<br><br>The term "evolution" is derived from the Latin word for unrolling or revealing, but the concept itself has a myriad of meanings over the years as it has taken shape in the sciences 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 a new species. The term transmutation was coined by Lamarck's student, embryologist Etienne Geoffroy Saint Hilaire, to describe this idea. Charles Lyell, who published the second volume of his Principles of Geology in 1833, attacked this idea and borrowed the term "evolution" from Geoffroy's student to describe the view that species are evolving into new species in an orderly and predictable manner.<br><br>Evolutionary biologists define evolution more recently as a process through which living things develop characteristics to increase their chances of living or producing offspring. In time, this genetic variability can cause the emergence of entirely new biological functions or physical traits in the same population. Such a shift in gene frequency is known as natural selection and it drives most evolutionary change. Non-genetic changes, such as an increase in muscle mass through exercise or diet, cannot be considered to be evolution since they aren't passed on to future generations.<br><br>Despite the fact that evolution has stood the test of time and a multitude of scientific experiments Creationists have taken advantage of the idea that the theory is controversial and claim that it shouldn't be taught in schools. In South Korea, creationists won some victories against evolution in high school textbooks. This includes the removal of references to the evolutionary roots of humans as well as Archaeopteryx - a feathered dinosaur believed to be the ancestral bird's first ancestor.<br><br>Why is Evolution Important for Humanity?<br><br>Evolution explains how Earth and [http://promgroup.spb.ru/bitrix/redirect.php?goto=https://evolutionkr.kr/ 무료 에볼루션] all its living creatures came into existence. It is also a fundamental part of biology that helps scientists to understand how living organisms work and grow. Evolution also reveals the relationships between different species. Scientists study evolution to better understand the natural world and to discover useful information including the development of new medicines.<br><br>The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. There is no other scientific theory that can explain so much about the universe and life on Earth and has been rigorously tested and confirmed over many years. Many people, including some religious leaders, believe in the scientific theory of evolution. It is important to understand that evolutionary biology doesn't conflict with religious beliefs, as the theory only deals with objects, events and processes in the physical world.<br><br>In fact, many religious people have come up with ways to reconcile their beliefs with evolution. Certain Christians for instance believe that God created everything through evolution, and that humans share an ancestral connection to other animals.<br><br>It is crucial for scientists to support the teaching of evolution. Unfortunately, in some nations around the world there is a growing anti-evolutionist sentiment. In the United States, efforts to limit the teaching of evolution have made progress in some states. In South Korea, a group called the Society for Textbook Revise (STR) which is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research, is campaigning for the removal of textbooks about the evolution of horses and the avian ancestral Archaeopteryx.<br><br>While these are troubling developments, it is also important to keep in mind that the evidence for evolution is overwhelming. The evidence comes from a broad range of sources, such as fossils, genetic studies, and the behavior of living organisms. The evidence is also independently verified by other scientists.<br><br>The majority of scientists support the theory of evolution. This belief is based on a variety of reasons. Scientists study evolution to make practical discoveries, such as developing medications and other treatments, while others are driven by an interest in improving the quality of life for animals and plant species, generally for the benefit of humans. Some scientists are just curious, whereas others have an intense belief in God.<br><br>What is Creationism?<br><br>Creationists believe that God created all things in the universe. They also believe the Bible is God's word and should be believed to be true. While Creationists may not all be Christian but they are a majority. Creationists generally fall into two categories: Young Earth creationists (YEC) and old earth creationists (OEC).<br><br>The YECs are perhaps the most well known type of creationist and they believe that God created the universe in the exact way described in the Bible. They believe that the biblical account of the six days of creation is literal and that the universe and the life on Earth was created only recently.<br><br>OECs may be less well-known However, their beliefs are as intense like the YECs. OECs believe the universe and Earth are billions-of-years old and believe that evolution is a myth.<br><br>Both forms of creationism reject the notion that scientific principles such as natural selection and abiogenesis could explain the origin of life on Earth. They argue that evolution is not possible because it requires a miracle, and that the scientists who founded modern science eschewed miracles for fear of losing credibility.<br><br>Some creationists accept naturalistic evolution as well as special creation and refer to their belief as "theistic evolution." This is also known as "continuous evolutionism" or [https://moskva.kotoroy.net/bitrix/redirect.php?goto=https://evolutionkr.kr/ 에볼루션 무료체험] the "evolution of the created species." In this belief system, God creates the original species and then allows them to evolve over time. These evolutionary changes will eventually produce new species that are similar to the original.<br><br>Some creationists believe that God created all living things and the universe in one event known as the Great Flood. These creationists believe that the original species were created at the same time, and that they evolved gradually afterward. They also reject the concept of abiogenesis and argue that the self-replicating creation of organisms from nonliving matter is impossible.<br><br>In general, creationists oppose the teaching of evolution in schools. This is a position that is backed by a variety of professional organizations 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, some scientists and educational institutions are more flexible, and allow for [http://rs17.ru/redirect?url=https://evolutionkr.kr/ 에볼루션 코리아] 슬롯게임 ([https://www.clubcrawlers.com/clubcrawlers/designedit/action/global/country?country=us&redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fevolutionkr.kr%2F More]) the inclusion of creationism and evolution in their curricula.<br><br>What is Creationism?<br><br>When people think of the concept of the concept of creationism, a lot 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 will remove references to evolution in their editions. A group dubbed the Society for Textbook Revise (STR) is an independent organization that is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research, has led the drive. STR has achieved its first victory by eliminating examples of the evolution of the horse as well as an avian ancestor called the Archeopteryx, from textbooks. The focus is now on removing excerpts from Darwin's infamous finch research and on human evolution, too.<br><br>STR claims that it has the support of around 4,000 families and individuals. The goal, according to STR is to cleanse the world of what it calls "atheist materialism" which portrays an image of students as being negative. It also aims at countering the influence of American Creationists in the United States. A survey of trainee biology teachers found that about half do not believe in evolution. The causes aren't clear but could be due to religion and the absence of full-time creation scientists in the country.<br><br>The KACR accomplished a number of things through its lectures and seminars in the past. It also publishes a bimonthly magazine called Creation and the book. One of them was an educational textbook on natural sciences with a creationist stance. This sparked an interest among college communities. In 1991, a professor along with a minister, began teaching Creation Science at one university. It is still taught to students 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 and Steven Austin presented to thousands of people. KACR members and KACR have also presented lectures on creation science in prestigious seminaries. KACR plans to establish a Creation Science Education Center in the future.
