Evolution is the most sensible model for the development of life

Evolution provides us humans with a rational explanation of what we have: our earths, our trees, our lives, and how these things I have stated developed into what it is today. Evolution provides us humans with a sensible explanation of how we came to be human beings, and attempts to leave many questions unanswered. Evolution is the rational reaction to religion and it's attempt to explain, without any facts though, how the world was made. I support evolution because of the following contentions: 1. Alternative Theories Don't Make Sense Creationism, the most common alternative to evolution, just don't make sense. For example, how could the earth be 4,000 years old, when we have trees, whose ages are verified, 1,000 years older than the earth. We also have rocks, limestone, and fossils older than 4,000 years. Creationism also has to account for one man and his family building a huge ark, about the size of the ship Wyoming, and put many animals on that ship; creationists failed to provide any evidence of how they built the ship, and/or gathered all the animals abroad. They also have to live by natural laws, and on the ship, there would clearly be a shortage of food. Many other reasons, like the mere fact that there are no Grand Canyons in every continent (Grand Canyons are where the water from the Great Flood seems to have drained off too), and that there are no remains of Kangaroos in India, but Kangaroo Fossils in Australia (supposedly Noah's Ark landed in the Middle East, and all the animals on Noah's Ark survived. However, if Noah's Ark landed in the Middle East, how did Kangaroos get to Australia, and die there?), all support my case. 2. We have loads of evidence Evolution is supported by the fact that we found fossils that date in a chronological order: for example, a fossil of a bacteria was found and was dated (using the Carbon Method) to 3.5 billion years. Scientists then uncovered more and more fossils; more types of animals were found. Amphibians, Reptiles, Mammals (us), Bacteria....The list goes on forever, but we seemed to have made more connections here. If the creation theory is correct, then we should find reptiles, mammals and amphibians all at 4000BC, but that is not the case. Another argument for evolution is in the DNA; scientists sequencing information on DNA found that Bacterium DNA were identical to those in us humans. Also, the DNA between Chimps and Humans are 97% identical, which only proves our points. If creationism is true, then human DNAs should not be similar to the Chimp's DNAs at all, as humans were created by god. Because of the plethora of evidence that supports evolution, I believe evolution provides a very sensible model. Clearly evolution is superior because it has scientific proof; science is rational, and we live in a rational world, where only rational decisions make sense. Provided with our evidence, we should embrace evolution instead of denying it. Therefore, evolution is the most sensible explanation of the developments of human life. I would like to wish the opponent the best of luck in her arguments. Citations: http://darwin200.christs.cam.ac.uk...
