Evolution vs. Creation

Evolution basically is the change of the genetic material in a population of organisms from one generation to the next. One of the things needed for evolution to take place is time. The population needs time to live and to adapt to the enviornment in case it changes. Some organisms in a population last long because they can camouflage. it allows then to avoid predators and give them time to reproduce to extend there population. Reproduction is also important for evolution because not only it makes the population bigger, it allows new combinations of genes that is produced by genetic recombination, which can increase variation between organisms. Adapting also helps because when a organism adapts, it gains new characteristics to survive in the changed or changing environment. which can led to physical changes also.
Creation is refered to religious assumptions based on belief that every thing including mankind,earth and everything in the universe including the universe itself. The people who follows a religion believe that everything was made by a God or a god or just some one with supernatural power. For example, christians believe that every thing was created by God, that there was nothing in the world and he made every thing in the world in seven days. In japanese religion, God Izanagi and Goddess Izanami were married to each other. Izanami could give birth to anything. One day she created the island of Japan. Izanami died when she gave birth to the god of fire from deadly burns during labor. By then she had given birth to 14 islands and 35 gods.So as as you can see, creation goes against science 100%
As a Christian, i believe in what other christians believe in. that the world was made the the one and only God in seven days. I believe in my religion, but also believe in evolution because for the amount of time the earth has been around, the animals who have ancestors that go way back to the beginning had to adapt. Like the cockroach , its believed to go way back till the prehistoric time along with the dinosaurs. Some of the evidence they have is fossils that strongly resemble them. so since there still around today, they had to adapt to there environment to live this long.
