15 Best Documentaries About Evolution Korea
Evolution Korea
Up until recently the Korean scientific community was hesitant about working with creationists due to the fear of giving the movement more credence. The silence is no longer an option.
The STR has been fighting to get evolution-related content from textbooks, including the discovery that the feathered Archaeopteryx was an ancestral bird. This is only one aspect of the evolution of the developmental paradigm.
What is Evolution?
Evolution is a theory of science that explains the change in the genetic traits of living organisms over time. The theory is based upon the fact that living organisms adapt to their environment, which may result in variations in genes or even whole genomes. Over the course of many generations these changes could lead to the emergence new species. The prevailing theory of evolution is called natural selection, which explains the process that allows individuals with advantageous characteristics survive and reproduce more often than those with disadvantages. This variation in reproduction could eventually lead to the development and emergence of new species.
The term "evolution" comes from the Latin word meaning unraveling or revealing, however the concept has had a variety of meanings since it took form in the fields of science and elsewhere. 에볼루션 무료체험 like Erasmus Darwin (Charles’s grandfather) and Jean Baptiste de Lamarck believed that species were predetermined to evolve into a different species. The term"transmutation" was coined by the Lamarck's disciple embryologist Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, to describe this notion. Charles Lyell, who published the second volume of his Principles of Geology in 1833 opposed this notion and borrowed the term "evolution" from Geoffroy's student to describe the idea that existing species change into different species in an orderly and predictable manner.
Evolutionary biologists define it more recently as a process by which living things develop characteristics to improve their chances of surviving or producing offspring. Over time, genetic variability can lead a population to acquire new physical characteristics or biological functions. Natural selection is the main force behind the majority of evolutionary changes. Other changes that aren't genetic, such as an increase in muscle mass from exercise or diet, can't be considered evolution because they aren't passed down to future generations.
Despite the fact that evolution has stood the test of time and a multitude of scientific studies, creationists have seized on the notion that the theory is controversial and argue that it should not be taught in school. In South Korea, creationists won a few victories over evolution in high school textbooks. This includes the removal of references to the evolutionary roots of humans as well as Archaeopteryx - a feathered dinosaur that is believed to be the ancestral bird's first ancestor.
Why is Evolution Important?
Evolution is the explanation for the origins of Earth and all living species. It is also one of the pillars of biology, and aids scientists discover how living things operate and grow. Evolution also reveals the relationships between different species. Scientists study evolution to better comprehend nature and make important discoveries such as new medicines.
The evidence for biological evolution is overwhelming. There is no other scientific theory that explains so much about the universe as well as life on earth and has been thoroughly tested and confirmed over a long period of time. Many people, even some religious leaders, are in favor of the scientific theory. It is essential to remember that evolutionary biology doesn't interfere with religious beliefs since it only focuses on physical objects, events and processes.
In 에볼루션 have come up with ways to reconcile their beliefs with evolution. For instance, some Christians believe that God created the universe through evolution and that humans have an ancestral connection with other animals.
It is essential for scientists to advocate for the teaching of evolution. In certain countries, the anti-evolution movement has been growing. In the United States some states have taken measures to restrict teaching evolution. In South Korea, a group known as the Society for Textbook Revise (STR) which is an offshoot from the Korea Association for Creation Research is urging the elimination of textbook content about the evolution of horses as well as the Avian ancestral Archaeopteryx.
Although these are alarming developments, it is important to keep in mind that the evidence for evolution is overwhelming. The evidence comes from a diverse range of sources, including fossils, genetic studies, and the behavior of living organisms. The evidence is also independently verified by other scientists.
The vast majority of scientists believe in the theory of evolution. The reasons behind this belief vary. Scientists study evolution in order to discover practical solutions such as the development of new medicines and other treatments, while others use it to improve the quality of animal and plant species, mostly to benefit humans. Some scientists are just curious, while others have a strong religious belief in God.
What is Creationism?
에볼루션 무료체험 are those who believe that God created the universe and everything within it. They also believe the Bible is God's word and should be taken literally. While some creationists are not Christian but many are. Creationists are usually divided into two groups: Young Earth Creationists (YEC) or old earth creationists.
The YECs are the best known type of creationist, and they believe that God created the world in the exact way described in the Bible. They believe that the biblical account of the first six days of creation was literal and that the universe and life on Earth were only created recently.
OECs are less well known, but they're just as committed to their beliefs as YECs. OECs believe that the universe and all life on Earth are billions of years old and they believe that evolution is a myth.
Both types of creationism deny that scientific principles like natural selection and abiogenesis are able to explain the origin of life on Earth. They argue that evolution isn't possible because it requires an extraordinary event, and that the scientists who founded modern science rejected miracles out of fear of losing credibility.
Some creationists accept naturalistic evolution and also special creation. They consider their views to be "theistic evolution." This is also referred to as "continuous evolutionism" or the "evolution of created kinds." The theory says that God creates species from scratch and then allows these to evolve over time. These evolutionary changes eventually will result in new species that are similar to the original.
Others believe that God created the universe and all living things in a single event, called the Great Flood. Creationists believe that all species were created at the same time and then gradually evolved. They also reject the idea of abiogenesis and claim that the creation of self-replicating organisms from nonliving matter is impossible.
In general, the creationists are against teaching of evolution in schools. This position is supported by numerous professional organizations such as the National Science Teachers Association, the Association for Science Teacher Education and the American Anthropological Association, and the Geological Society of America. Some academic institutions and scientists, however, are more flexible and permit both evolution and creationism to be included in their curricula.
What is Creationism in Korea?
When people think of the concept of creationism most often, they think of the United States. South Korea also has an anti-evolution group. The publishers of high school textbooks have recently announced that they will remove references to evolution from their editions. A group called the Society for Textbook Revise (STR) is an independent organization that is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research, has led the drive. STR has won its first victory in removing instances of the evolution of the horse and an avian ancestor called the Archeopteryx from textbooks. It is now focusing on removing excerpts from Darwin's infamous finch research and on human evolution as well.
STR claims that it has the support of around 4,000 families and individuals. Its mission is to cut out what it regards as the "atheist materialism" that creates a bleak worldview for students. It also hopes to combat the influence of American creationists in the United States. A survey of undergraduates studying biology revealed that half of them did not believe evolution. The reasons for this are not clear however, they could be related to religious beliefs and the lack of full-time creation scientists in the country.
The KACR has achieved a lot through its lectures and seminars in the past. It publishes a bimonthly news magazine, Creation, and has published books. One of them is a textbook on the natural sciences that has a creationist viewpoint, which 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 today.
On August 6 and 7, 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 foreign lecturers including ICR's John Morris and Steven Austin presented to a crowd of more than a thousand. KACR and its members have given lectures on creation science at major seminaries too. KACR plans to establish a Creation Science Education Center.
