Take a rock for example, you cannot sit there and try and tell me that somebody sat there for years and watched the first rock go through its evolution. Of course not it would be impossible. Therefore we study things and figure out how they came to be with our theary of the matter. It shouldn t be, we as a society look back and decide what we think happened, and put together a couple of theories. Thus creation or evolution, if you ask me there is only one reason the world does not want to accept these as scientific theories.
People don t want the controversy between religion and science.
People believe what they believe about the origin of theses things for a reason, whether it s religious or scientific. Although there isn t one cut and dry believed answer. Because of this society does not want to put up with the ongoing argument. If one of these theories went down in the books as being scientific, people would feel like they have to believe in it. It is to hard to convince people that there could be two theories, because with everything else in life there is a theory and that theory is the answer.
