Evolution Korea For a long time the scientific community in Korea has avoided engaging with the creationists in fear that it could boost the credibility of the group. However, silence is no any longer an option. The STR has been fighting to get rid of textbooks that discuss evolution, such as the discovery of the feathered dinosaur Archaeopteryx as an ancestor of birds. This is only one example of the way in which the development paradigm has evolved. What is Evolution? Evolution is a concept in science that explains the evolution of genetic traits over time. The theory is based on the fact that living organisms adjust to their environment, which could result in variations in genes or whole genomes. These changes can, over generations lead to the creation of new species. The prevailing theory of evolution is known as natural selection, which describes the process through which individuals with advantageous characteristics survive and reproduce more often than those with disadvantageous characteristics. As time passes, this difference in reproduction can lead to the emergence of completely new species. The term “evolution” is derived from the Latin word meaning unrolling or revealing. However, the concept itself has a myriad of meanings as it has taken form in the sciences and other fields. Some early evolutionists, like Jean Baptiste de Lamarck and Erasmus Darwin (Charles's grandfather) believed that the existing species changed into other species in a certain way. 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 notion that existing species change into new species in an orderly and predictable manner. More recently evolutionary biologists have defined evolution as a process that occurs when living organisms develop traits that enhance their chances of survival, or their ability to reproduce offspring. In time, genetic variation can lead a population to develop new physical traits or biological functions. Natural selection is the process that drives the majority of evolutionary changes. However other changes that are not genetic, such as the increase in the muscle mass as a result of diet or exercise cannot be considered to be examples of evolution because they are not inherited by future generations. Creationists have a tendency to use the argument that evolution is controversial even though it has been proven accurate by thousands of scientific tests and that it has stood the test of time. They argue that the theory shouldn't be taught at school. In South Korea, creationists have gained a few victories in their campaign to exclude evolution from textbooks for high school, including the removal of references to the evolutionary roots of humans and the Archaeopteryx feathered dinosaur thought to be the ancestral bird's parent. Why is Evolution Important? Evolution explains how the Earth and all living creatures came into existence. It is also a fundamental part of biology that helps scientists comprehend how living organisms operate and develop. Evolution also helps us understand the connections between different species. Scientists study evolution to understand the natural world and also to make important discoveries, such as developing new drugs. 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 verified over a long period of time. Many people, and even religious leaders, are in support of the scientific theory. It is important to remember that evolutionary biology doesn't interfere with religions, since the theory only deals with things, events and processes within the physical world. Many religious people have come up with a way of reconciling evolution with their convictions. For 에볼루션 게이밍 believe that God created the world through evolution and that humans have an ancestry with other animals. It is crucial that science educators advocate for teaching evolution. Unfortunately, in some countries around the globe there is a growing anti-evolutionist sentiment. In the United States, efforts to limit the teaching of evolution have made headway in a few states. In South Korea, a group known as the Society for Textbook Revise (STR), an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research, is campaigning for the elimination of textbook content on the evolution of horses as well as the Avian ancestor Archaeopteryx. It is vital to remember that the evidence in support of evolution is overwhelming. The evidence for evolution comes from many sources, including fossils, genetics, and even the behavior of living creatures. The evidence is also independently verified by other scientists. The majority of scientists agree with the theory of evolution. The reasons behind this support vary. Scientists study evolution to make practical discoveries, such as developing treatments and other treatments, while others are driven by a desire to improve animal and plant species, usually to benefit humans. Some scientists are just curious, whereas others have an intense faith in God. What is Creationism? 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. Many creationists are Christians However, not all. Creationists generally fall into one of two categories: Young Earth creationists (YEC) and old earth creationists (OEC). The most common type of creationist is known as the YEC. They believe that God created the universe in the exact manner described in the Bible. They believe that the biblical account of the six days of creation is true, and that the universe and life on Earth began only recently. OECs are less well known however they are as committed to their beliefs as YECs. OECs believe the universe and Earth are billions of years old and believe that evolution is a lie. Both forms of creationism deny that scientific principles like natural selection and abiogenesis are able to explain the origins of life on Earth. They argue that evolution is not possible because it requires the creation of a miracle, and the pioneers of modern science eschewed miracles for fear that they would lose credibility. Some creationists believe in naturalistic evolution as well as special creation, and call their belief “theistic evolution.” This is sometimes also known as “continuous creationism” or “evolution from the original species.” The theory suggests that God creates species from scratch and allows them to change over time. Then, these evolutionary changes will produce new species that are like the original ones. Some creationists believe that God created all living things and the universe in a single event known as the Great Flood. They believe that all species were created at the same time and then gradually evolved. They reject the concept of abiogenesis and claim that self-replicating life can't come from nonliving matter. In general, creationists oppose the teaching of evolution in schools. Numerous professional organizations, such as the National Science Teachers Association and the Association for Science Teacher Education are in support of this view and so do the American Anthropological Association and the Geological Society of America. Some academic institutions and scientists are, however, more flexible and allow evolution and creationism to be incorporated into their curricula. What is Creationism in Korea? When people think about creationism, they often think of the United States. However, South Korea is also home to an anti-evolution movement. The publishers of high-school textbooks recently announced that they will remove references to evolution from 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 and has been the driving force behind the move. STR has achieved its first victory by taking away instances of the evolution of the horse as well as an avian ancestor called the Archeopteryx in textbooks. It is now focusing on removing excerpts from Darwin's infamous finch research and on human evolution as well. STR claims to have the support of 4,000 families and members. Its mission is to cut out what it believes is the “atheist materialism” that paints an unhopeful worldview for students. It also aims at countering the influence of American Creationists across the country. A survey of students in biology found that half didn't believe in evolution. The reasons aren't clear, but could include religion or the absence of creation scientists in the country. The KACR has achieved a number of things in the past through lectures and seminar events. It publishes a bimonthly news magazine, Creation, and has published books. Among these is a textbook on the natural sciences that has an evolutionary perspective that has sparked interest among college students. In 1991, a professor, along with a minister, began teaching Creation Science at one university. It is still taught to students today. 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 outside the country including ICR's John Morris and Steven Austin presented to thousands of people. KACR and its members have been giving lectures on creation science at major seminaries, too. KACR intends to establish a Creation Science Education Center.
