God Created Existence In Six Days

I will address my opponent's argument in the next round. This round is for arguments. I will note that in the first round my opponent states that the creation story does not contradict the scientific theories for the creation of the universe however I would like to see how exactly this is true in his rebuttal. The Big Bang Theory The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation about how the universe began. At its simplest, it talks about the universe as we know it starting with a small singularity, then inflating over the next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today. Current instruments don't allow astronomers to peer back at the universe's birth, much of what we understand about the Big Bang Theory comes from mathematical theory and models. Astronomers can, however, see the "echo" of the expansion through a phenomenon known as the cosmic microwave background. In the first seconds after the universe began, the surrounding temperature was roughly 5.5 billion Celsius, according to NASA. The cosmos contained an array of fundamental particles such as neutrons, electrons and protons. These decayed or combined as the universe cooled This would have been impossible to look at, because light could not carry inside of it. "The free electrons would have caused light (photons) to scatter the way sunlight scatters from the water droplets in clouds," NASA stated. Over time, however, the free electrons met up with nuclei and created neutral atoms. This allowed light to shine through about 380,000 years after the Big Bang occured. This early light — sometimes called the "afterglow" of the Big Bang — is more properly known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It was first predicted by Ralph Alpher and other scientists in 1948, but was found out almost 20 years later. Astronomers could see the universe's beginnings, they've also been looking for proof of its speeding up inflation. The theory says that in the first second after the universe was born, our cosmos expanded faster than the speed of light. That does not violate Albert Einstein's speed limit since he said that light is the maximum anything can travel within the universe. That did not apply to the expansion of the universe itself. Astronomers said they had found evidence in the CMB concerning "B-modes," a polarization generated as the universe got bigger and created gravitational waves. The team spotted evidence of this using an Antarctic telescope. "We're very confident that the signal that we're seeing is real, and it's on the sky," lead researcher John Kovac, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told Space.com in March 2014. The same team later revealed that their findings could have been altered by galactic dust getting in the way of their view. "The basic takeaway has not changed; we have high confidence in our results," Kovac said in a press conference reported by the New York Times. "New information from Planck makes it look like pre-Planckian predictions of dust were too low," he added. The results from Planck were put online in pre-published form in September. By January 2015, researchers from both teams working together "confirmed that the Bicep signal was mostly, if not all, stardust," the New York Times said in another article. Whilst I admit that the Big Bang is not proven to be true, my examples show that the Big Bang has scientific proof to have happened whereras the story of creation - whether it was 6 or 7 days has no scientific evidence to be even considered true. The Big Bang is possible and science has proven this. The creation story is possible (because nothing is impossible). Its evidence is from a book that was orally transmitted for 1500 years and could have been drastically altered.Evolution Evolution are the changes that occur in a populus over time. A “populus” is a group of the same species that share a specific habitat. Evolutionary changes occur on the genetic level. Results are inherited from generations. When successful, these genetic adaptations, which happen when genes mutate and/or combine in different ways during reproduction, help organisms survive, reproduce, and raise offspring. Some individuals inherit characteristics that make them more successful at surviving and having babies. These advantageous characteristics tend to appear more frequently in the population (because those individuals with less advantageous characteristics are more likely to die without reproducing), and over time these changes become common throughout that population, ultimately leading to new species. Biological evolution explains the way all living things evolved over billions of years from a single common ancestor. This concept is often illustrated by the so-called tree of life. Every branch on the tree represents a species. The fork separating one species from another represents the common ancestor that each pair of species shared. So ultimately, all life is interconnected, but any two species may be separated by millions or even billions of years of evolution. Some people have been stunned to learn that about 98.5% of the genes in people and chimpanzees are identical. This finding means chimps are the closest living biological relatives to humans. What it does indicate is that humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, making us distant cousins. We are related to these other living primates, but we did not descend from them. Human brains are larger and more complex; people have better forms of communication; people walk upright, can manipulate very small objects, and can speak. Most scientists believe our common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. Then two species broke off into separate lineages, one ultimately evolving into gorillas and chimps, the other evolving into early humans called hominids. In the millions of years that followed, at least a dozen different species of humanlike creatures have existed, reflected in the fossil discoveries of paleoanthropologists, although many of these species are close relatives but not actual ancestors of modern humans. The fossil record does not show a straight line of ancestry; many of these early hominids left no descendents and died out. Others are most likely direct ancestors of modern humans or Homo sapiens. Scientists still do not know the total number of hominid species that existed, because fossils are discovered every decade, the story of human evolution is becoming clearer. All living organisms have not been preserved in the fossils; most have not because very specific conditions must exist in order to create fossils. The fossil record provides a good outline of human evolutionary history. The earliest humans were found in Africa, which is where a lot of human evolution occurred. The fossils of these early hominids, which lived 2 to 6 million years ago, all come from that continent. Scientists believe early humans migrated out of Africa into Asia 2 million years ago, entering Europe within the past 1 million years. Here are some of the early human species discovered: Australopithecines An African apelike species evolved probably around 6 million years ago with two skeletal characteristics that set it apart from apes: small canine teeth (the teeth on either side of the four front teeth) compared to the long canines found in almost all other primates, and, most importantly, bipedalism or walking on two legs as the primary mode of locomotion. The very early years of the transition from ape to human, from 6 million to 4 million years ago, is poorly documented in the fossil record, but those fossils that have been discovered document the most primitive combinations of ape and human features. Fossils from different early australopith species that lived between 4 million and 2 million years ago show a variety of adaptations that mark this transition much more clearly. Among the genera that are included in early australopith species are Sahelanthropus, Orrorin, and Aripithecus; a species of the genus Kenyanthropus; and four species of the genusAustralopithecus. An example specimin, “Lucy,” the partial skeleton of a female discovered in 1974. Lucy belongs to a species, Australopithicus afarensis, which lived in eastern Africa between 3.9 million and 3 million years ago. Scientists have found several hundred A. afarensis fossils in Hadar. Lucy lived 3.2 million years ago. By about 2.7 million years ago, so-called robust australopiths had evolved, with wide molars and premolars and a facial structure that indicate that these robust australopiths chewed their food, primarily tough, fibrous plants, powerfully and for long periods. Several robust species have been identified, and the last robust australopiths died out about 1.4 million years ago. Homo sapiens Scientists have dated the oldest fossils with skeletal features of modern humans from 195,000 years ago. Early modern Homo sapiens fossils have come from sites in Sudan, Ethiopia, South Africa, and Israel. Many scientists have therefore concluded that modern Homo sapiens evolved in Africa and began spreading to other parts of the world 90,000 years ago or a little earlier, although whether, how, why, and when this happened is still in dispute. And it was not until about 40,000 years ago that anatomically modern humans, Homo sapiens sapiens, emerged. Since that time, human evolution has been primarily cultural as opposed to biological. Scientists believe Earth itself is roughly 4.55 billion years old. The oldest fossils are close to 3.5 billion years old; some scientists have discovered evidence that life may have begun 4 billion years ago. The oldest known humanlike fossil has been dated at 4.4 million years old, although another species, not yet confirmed as a hominid, has been dated at about 6 million years old. As mentioned earlier, scientists estimate that the earliest hominid species diverged from the ape lineage between 5 and 8 million years ago. The species to which we belong, Homo sapiens, is only 40,000 years old. Sources in comments.
