Evolution Korea

In the past, the Korean scientific community avoided engaging with the creationists out of fear of giving the movement more credence. But silence is no any longer an option.

The STR has been fighting to get rid of textbooks that explain evolution, such as the discovery of the feathered dinosaur Archaeopteryx as an early bird's ancestor. This is only one aspect of how the concept of development has changed.

What is Evolution?

에볼루션 무료체험 is a scientific theory that explains the evolution of the genetic traits of living organisms over time. The theory is based on the fact that living creatures adapt to their environment, which may lead to variations in genes or whole genomes. Over time the changes could lead to the emergence new species. The prevailing theory of evolution is natural selection, which describes the process through which individuals with advantageous characteristics survive and reproduce more frequently than those with less favorable characteristics. Over time, this differential reproduction can lead to the emergence of entirely new species.





The word "evolution" originates from the Latin word for unraveling or revealing, however the concept has had a variety of meanings since it took form in the sciences and other fields. Early evolutionists like Erasmus Darwin (Charles’s grandfather) and Jean Baptiste de Lamarck believed that species were predetermined to evolve into a different species. Etienne Geoffroy St-Hilaire, Lamarck's embryologist disciple who came up with the term "transmutation" to describe this view. 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 existing species evolve into other species in a gradual and predictable manner.

Evolutionary biologists define evolution more recently as a process through which living creatures develop traits to improve their chances of surviving or conceiving offspring. Over time, genetic variability can cause a population develop new physical characteristics or biological functions. This variation in gene frequencies is called natural selection, and is the primary driver behind evolutionary changes. Changes that are not genetic, like an increase in muscle mass through exercise or diet, cannot be considered to be evolutionary because they aren't passed down to the next generation.

Creationists are using the argument that evolution is controversial even though it has been proven to be accurate by thousands of scientific tests and that it has been tested over time. They claim that the concept should not be taught in schools. In South Korea, creationists have gained a few victories in their fight to remove evolution from high-school textbooks and have also gotten rid of any references to the evolutionary history of humans as well as the Archaeopteryx feathered dinosaur thought to be an ancestral bird's parent.

Why is Evolution Important?

Evolution is the explanation for the origins of Earth and all living species. It also serves as a basis of biology, and aids scientists learn how living organisms function and grow. Evolution also shows the connections between different species. Scientists study evolution to better understand the natural world and also to make important discoveries, such as developing new treatments.

The evidence for biological evolution is overwhelming. No other scientific theory can explain as much about the universe and life on earth. It has been rigorously scrutinized and confirmed for a number of years. Many people, including some religious leaders, believe in the scientific theory of evolution. It is essential to remember that evolutionary biology doesn't conflict with religious beliefs as it only focuses on physical objects, events and processes.

Many religious people have found a way to reconcile evolution with their convictions. For example some Christians believe that God created the world through evolution, and that humans share an ancestral connection with other animals.

It is important for science educators to stand up for the teaching of evolution. In some countries, the opposition to evolution has been growing. In the United States some states have taken measures to restrict teaching of evolution. In South Korea, a group called the Society for Textbook Revise, an offshoot from the Korea Association for Creation Research (KAC), is campaigning for textbooks that cover the evolution of horses and their Avian ancestor Archaeopteryx.

It is important to remember that the evidence in favor of evolution is overwhelming. The evidence for evolution comes from a variety of sources, such as fossils, genetics, and even the behavior of living creatures. Other scientists independently verify the evidence.

The vast majority of scientists supports the theory of evolution. This belief is based on a variety of reasons. Certain scientists study evolution in order to discover practical solutions for example, such as the development of treatments and other treatments, while others are driven by the desire to improve the lives of animals and plant species, generally to benefit humans. Some are simply curious, while still others have a deep religious belief in God and seek to understand how the universe functions.

What is Creationism?

Creationists believe that God created all things in the universe. They also believe that the Bible is the word of God and should be taken literally. While Creationists may not all be Christian, they are a majority. Creationists generally fall in two categories: Young Earth creationists (YEC) and old earth creationists (OEC).

The most well-known type of creationist is known as the YEC. They believe that God created the universe in the exact way that is described in the Bible. YECs hold that the biblical account of the six days of creation was true and that the universe and the life on Earth were only created recently.

OECs are not as well-known, but they're just as passionate about their beliefs as YECs. OECs believe that the universe and life on Earth are billions of years old, and they believe that evolution is a myth.

Both types of creationism deny that scientific theories such as natural selection and abiogenesis could explain the origins of life on Earth. They claim that evolution is not possible because it would require miracles. The founders of modern science shunned miracles out of fear they would lose their credibility.

Some creationists accept both naturalistic evolution and special creation, and call their view "theistic evolution." This is also known as "continuous evolutionism" or the "evolution of species created." In this theory, God creates the original species and allows them to evolve over time. In the end, these evolutionary changes will create new species that are identical to the original species.

Some creationists believe that God created all living things and the universe in one event called the Great Flood. These creationists believe that the first species were all created simultaneously, and that they grew slowly afterwards. They also reject the idea of abiogenesis and claim that the creation of self-replicating organisms from nonliving matter is not possible.

In general, creationists oppose teaching evolution in schools. Numerous professional organizations, like the National Science Teachers Association and the Association for Science Teacher Education support this position and so do the American Anthropological Association and the Geological Society of America. Some scientists and educational institutions, however, are more flexible and allow creationism and evolution to be included in their curriculum.

What is Creationism in Korea?

When people think of the concept of creationism, they often 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 would remove the mention of evolution in their editions. The Society for Textbook Revise, an independent body which is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research (KACCR) is the one who has led this effort. The STR has scored its first victory by removing from textbooks the evidence of the evolution and ancestor of the avian, called the Archeopteryx. Its next target is to take out excerpts from Darwin’s infamous finch-research as well as on human evolution.

STR claims to have the backing of 4,000 families and individual members. Its aim is to root out what it sees as the "atheist materialism" that paints an unhopeful worldview for students. It also hopes to combat the influence of American creationists in the country. A survey of students in biology revealed that a majority of them did not believe in evolution. The root causes are unclear, but may include religious beliefs or the absence of full-time creation scientists across the United States.

The KACR has achieved a number of things in the past through lectures and seminar events. It has a bimonthly news magazine, Creation, and has published books. One of them is a textbook on the natural sciences, with an evolutionary perspective that has sparked interest among college students. In 1991 the year 1991, a minister and professor began teaching Creation Science in one university and it continues to be taught until today.

On August 6 and 7, 1993, KACR hosted a second International Symposium on Creation Research. The event 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, spoke to an audience of several thousand. KACR and its members have been delivering talks on creation science at major seminaries as well. KACR intends to establish a Creation Science Education Center.
