On February 13th, the class debated about evolution and intelligent design and on which is the reason behind our existence. This is topic that can go on for hours and in circles as it can go either way.

To begin with, evolution describes changes in species which then allows for observable changes in individual organisms over time. It is the sequence of events involved in the development of a species or taxonomic group of organisms. It is one way that people theorized and provided evidence for in order to explain how things came to be.

On the other hand, intelligent design is the universe and living things are the way they are because of an intelligent cause and created by an unspecified intelligent agent, God. This disregards all the science that comes along with evolution. It simply states that God created everything, and it is because of Him that everything on Earth exists the way it does.

Personally, I do not agree on just one of these reasons for the existence of things. I believe in a combination of these two ideas. I believe that God is the one who started everything and evolution was one the ways he put into motion in order to get to where we are today. He was the one that created the planets and the universe but not in the way it was described in the Bible. I see Him as the one who put the one organism that everything derived from in place and then put the process of evolution into play mode.

This debate between evolution and intelligent design is a very personal and controversial topic. In my opinion, neither one is wrong its just that I see the way things came to be as a combination of the two.
