AGE OF THE EARTH

• Creation: 6,000 years
• Evolution: 4 billion years

THE FORMATION OF THE SUN AND THE STARS

• Evolution: A nebula collapsed billions of years ago and most of the material was pulled to one place to form the sun.

HOW PLANETS FORMED

• Creation: God seperated the heavens and the earth in Genesis 1:7
• Evolution: thousands of collisions caused large masses of substances to draw together by gravity

THE ORIGIN OF LIFE

• Creation: God created plant life on day 3 of creation
• Evolution: life began underwater as single celled organisms

ORDER ORGANISMS WERE EVOLVED OR CREATED

• Creation: God created plant life, the birds and fish, then land animals, then man
• Evolution: life started with underwater creatures, then evolved to plants, then to animals and man

• Evolution: fossil records support claims that the earth is much older than 6,000 years
• The oldest fossil on record is believed to be 6 milliom years old

VESTIGIAL ORGANS

• Vestigial organs are body parts carried over from another species that humans have no use for
• Creation: the Bible does not account for the existence of vestigial organs
• Evolution: claims vestigial organs as evidence that man evolved from monkeys

HOMOLOGOUS ORGANS

• Homologous organs are organs shared my groups of animals that support that they had similar ancestry
• Creation: the Bible does not account for homologous organs
• Evolution: human similarities in homologous organs to monkeys help support evolution

ANALOGOUS ORGANS

• An analogous organ is an organ that performs the same job but has a different place
• Creation: the Bible does not account for analogous organs
• Evolution: used as evidence that all organisms have the same origin of life

GEOGRAPHY

• Creation: the Bible does not comfirm or deny the Pangaea theory
• Many believe that the Biblical great flood might have split Pangaea apart
• Evolution: earth started with one large land mass that split into the continents

EMBRYOLOGY

• Evolution: embryology proves evolution
• Darwin stated embryos are the beginning of each human's evolution process
