creation vs evolution

The theory of creation is the religious belief that earth, the stars and the universe were made by one sole all powerful being (in most cultures this deity is known as god). The theory of creation derived from the old testament which is part of the holy Scriptures also known as the bible.This belief was a large parts of peoples lives during the dark ages which gave the church power over how and what people thought.Which made it hard for individual thinkers to voice their scientific opinion if it didn't agree with the holy church.

Darwin's theory of evolution was the thought that all life had a common ancestor. Darwin also thought that complex organisms had evolved from more simplistic life forms, the idea was that as a life form evolves over time the advancements that aid survival are passed down to future generations where as the life form from the same species who didn't evolve would die out. This was called natural selection. Darwin's theory of natural selection is an occurrence that happens lowly over time to preserve the survival of a species.
