There is abundant and consistent evidence from astronomy, physics, biochemistry, geochronology, geology, biology, anthropology and other sciences that evolution has taken place. As such, evolution is a unifying concept for science. In addition, the Benchmarks for Science Literacy from the American Association for the Advancement of Science 's Project 2061, and the NSTA s Scope, Sequence, and Coordination Project as well as other national calls for science reform, all name evolution as a unifying concept because of its importance across the discipline of science. Scientific disciplines with a historical component such as astronomy, geology, biology, and anthropology, cannot be taught with integrity if evolution is not emphasized. There is no longer a debate among scientists over whether evolution has taken place.
Scientists often disagree about their explanations.
In any science, disagreements are subject to rules of evaluation. Errors and false conclusions are confronted by experiment and observation, and evolution, as in any aspect of science, is continually open to and subject to experimentation and questioning. In its broadest meaning, creationism is the idea that a supernatural power or powers created. The most common variety of special creationism asserts that the Earth is very young life was originated by a creator life appeared suddenly kinds of organisms have not changed all life was designed for certain functions and purposes. This version of special creation is derived from a literal interpretation of Biblical Genesis.
