Possible Introduction

Ever since the dawn of time, when the first intelligent life walked the earth, humanity has struggled with how life, earth, and even the universe came to be. Early civilizations came to the conclusion that an omnipresent, supernatural being must have created all that exists in reality, even claiming the sun and water as dogmatic figures capable of such wondrous creation. As humanity became more and more sophisticated and pondered deeper into the reasoning for existence, religions came about to rally entire civilizations together and create a unified group of believers. Christianity grew after the fall of the city of Rome after its inhabitants faced terrible famine, brutal bloodshed, and debilitating diseases of bubonic proportions. Religion gives individuals the hope that existence on earth is to be followed by a euphoric afterlife if a life free of sin has been undertaken. Ever since the Renaissance when logic and reason fueled philosophical and scientific debates on the topic of religion, the brightest human minds have undertaken the arduous task of finding the 'center of creation'. In the past couple of centuries, the surge in technology and the advancements made in the scientific fields led to the idea of evolution as a progressive answer to the ultimate question. Sir Charles Darwin's book On the Origin of Species used meticulously drawn diagrams and pictures and fossil evidence to conclude that all organisms derived from a single organism, with the species most fit to survive a particular climate ultimately reproducing and remaining on earth. This process of mutations, also known as natural selection has been almost unanimously accepted by the scientific field to the dismay of many religious groups around the country. One particular religious group known as the creationists have completely denied that biological processes on the micro and macro levels spawned the evolution of animals. Creationists are strict believers in the bible, and believe that the only facts that exist concerning the start of life are present in the words of God as scribed in the Bible.
