Argumentative Essay On Evolution Vs Religion

There is an estimation of a total of 8.7 million species on Earth and at least 10,000 more discovered each year on Earth. One such species, known as the African unicorn or the okapi, has a surprising background in history. An adequate amount of humans would not guess that this mysterious creature was not a living relative of the giraffe. To acknowledge how such diversity of species on this planet arose, we must look at the tree of life, or evolution. Evolution is the adaptations in external and internal characteristics of groups of plants, animals, and fungi after sizeable passage of generations. In biology, the definition of species is a group of animals who can successfully interbreed with each other sexually. This is important for taxonomy

From what I have observed, most controversy stems from people who don’t understand evolution. They explain evolution as a dog giving birth to a cat or an ape giving birth to a human when these creatures at one point had a common ancestor, consequently diverging and evolving to what they are now. People don’t want to try to understand or are indoctrinated into thinking their religious beliefs explanation is the only way the world works. Religion is an annoyance to the progression of science, but religion isn't completely bad because it gives a lot of people a purpose in their life but that isn’t the objective of science. Science does not care about people's comfort, it questions the validity of religion and people become angry when their source of security is questioned. Science is not always uncomforting, instead it can give us a feeling of amazement or sense of wonder because it helps us realize that we are here by chance and we are extremely lucky to be alive and with that we can use it as inspiration to keep living to see the rest of this beautiful world. Coexistence between science and religion is possible, but people need to respect each other's boundaries no matter what side they are coming
