Evolution Korea For a long time, Korea's scientific community has been hesitant to engage with the creationists in fear that doing so could increase the credibility of the movement. However, silence is no any longer an option. 에볼루션 코리아 Evolution KR has been fighting to eliminate evolution-related content from textbooks, including the discovery that the feathered Archaeopteryx was an ancestral bird. However, this is just one aspect of the evolution of the developmental paradigm. What is Evolution? Evolution is a theory of science that explains the evolution of the genetic characteristics of living organisms over time. The theory is based on the fact that living organisms adapt to their environment and this can lead to changes in genes, or even entire genomes. These changes can over many generations lead to the creation of new species. The prevailing theory of evolution is natural selection, which explains the process by which those with favorable characteristics live and reproduce more often than those with disadvantages. Over time, this differential reproduction can lead to the development of completely new species. The term “evolution” is derived from Latin for revealing or unrolling, has been used in many different ways as the concept has changed, both in science and elsewhere. Early evolutionists such as Erasmus Darwin (Charles’s grandfather) and Jean Baptiste de Lamarck believed that species were predestined to change into a new species. Etienne Geoffroy St-Hilaire, Lamarck's embryologist disciple who came up with the term “transmutation” to describe this theory. Charles Lyell, who published the second volume of his Principles of Geology in 1833 challenged this notion and borrowed the term “evolution” from Geoffroy's student to describe the notion that existing species evolve into new species in a gradual and predictable way. Evolutionary biologists define it more recently as a process in which living creatures develop traits to improve their chances of living or producing offspring. As time passes the genetic variability could result in the development of completely new biological functions or physical traits in the same population. The shift in gene frequency is known as natural selection and it is the main driver of evolutionary change. Other changes that aren't genetic, such as an increase in muscle mass from exercise or diet, cannot be considered to be evolution since they aren't passed on to future generations. Despite the fact that evolution has withstood the tests of time and thousands of scientific tests Creationists have taken advantage of the idea that the theory is controversial and claim that it shouldn't be taught in school. In South Korea, creationists won a few victories over evolution in high school textbooks. This includes the removal of references about the evolutionary history of humans as well as Archaeopteryx which is a feathered dinosaur believed to be the bird's ancestor. Why is Evolution important to humanity? Evolution explains the origins and evolution of Earth and all living species. It is also one of the pillars of biology, and helps scientists understand how living things work and develop. Evolution also shows how different species are connected. Scientists study evolution to gain a better understanding of 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 many aspects of the universe and life on earth, and it has been thoroughly tested and confirmed over the course of many years. Many people, and even religious leaders, are in favor of the scientific theory. It is important to note that evolutionary biology doesn't contradict religious beliefs, since the theory deals only with objects, events and processes in the physical world. Many religious people have come up with a way of reconciling evolution with their convictions. Certain Christians, for example, believe that God created everything through evolution and that humans have an ancestry that is shared with other animals. It is crucial that science educators stand up for the teaching evolution. Unfortunately, in some countries around the world the anti-evolution movement is growing. In the United States, efforts to restrict the teaching of evolution have made progress 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 urging the removal of textbook content on the evolution of horses as well as the avian ancestor Archaeopteryx. It is vital to remember that the evidence in favor of evolution is overwhelming. The evidence comes from a wide 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 support the theory of evolution. This support is based on various reasons. Certain scientists are studying evolution to make practical discoveries, such as the development of new medicines, while others do so to improve the quality of animal and plant species, typically to benefit humans. Some are simply curious, while others have a profound faith in God and want to know how the universe works. What is Creationism? Creationists believe that God created everything in the universe. They also believe that the Bible is God's word and should be interpreted in a literal manner. Although some creationists are not Christian, many are. Creationists generally fall in one of two categories: Young Earth creationists (YEC) and old earth creationists (OEC). The YECs are the best known form of creationist, and they believe that God created the universe exactly as described in the Bible. YECs believe that the biblical account of the six days of creation is literal and that the universe and life on Earth was created only recently. OECs aren't as known However, their beliefs are just as passionate like those of YECs. OECs believe that the universe as well as Earth are billions of years old, and that evolution is a myth. Both kinds of creationism deny the scientific theories that biogenesis and natural selection can explain how life came to be on Earth. They argue that evolution is impossible because it would require a miracle, and that the pioneers of modern science shied away from miracles due to fear of losing credibility. Some creationists accept naturalistic evolution as well as special creation, and call their view “theistic evolution.” This is also known as “continuous evolutionism” or the “evolution of the created species.” 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. Other creationists believe that God created the universe and all living things during a single event, referred to as the Great Flood. These creationists hold that all the original species were created at the same moment and then slowly evolved. They reject the idea of abiogenesis, and argue that self-replicating living cannot come from non-living matter. In general, the creationists are opposed to the teaching of evolution in schools. Numerous professional associations, such as the National Science Teachers Association and the Association for Science Teacher Education are in support of this view as do the American Anthropological Association and the Geological Society of America. Some scientists and educational institutions are, however, more flexible and permit both creationism and evolution to be incorporated into their curricula. What is Creationism in Korea? When people think of the concept of the concept of creationism, a lot think of the United States. However, South Korea is also home to an anti-evolution movement. The publishers of high school textbooks have recently announced that they will eliminate references to evolution from their textbooks. A group called the Society for Textbook Revise (STR), an independent body 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 eliminating examples of the evolution of the horse as well as an avian ancestor, called the Archeopteryx in textbooks. The focus is now on removing excerpts from Darwin's notorious finch research and on human evolution too. STR claims that it has the support of around 4000 families and individuals. Its mission is to cut out what it sees as the “atheist materialism” that reflects a hopeless worldview for students. It also aims to counteract the influence of American creationists in the United States. A survey of the newest biology teachers found that about half do not believe in the concept of evolution. The reasons for this are not clear, but may include religion and the absence of full-time creation scientists in the United States. The KACR has achieved a number of things through its seminars and lectures. It publishes a bimonthly magazine called Creation and the book. Among these is a textbook on the natural sciences with a creationist viewpoint, which attracted the attention of college communities. In 1991, a professor and minister started teaching Creation Science in one university and it is taught to this day. 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 an audience of several thousand. KACR and its members have given lectures on creation science at major seminaries as well. KACR plans to establish a Creation Science Education Center.
