Evolution Vs Macroevolution Research Paper

Decent Essays

Evolution is the scientific theory that all life forms came from ancient ancestors. Humans today show a great amount of diversity such as natural selection, migration, and mutations. Microevolution is a change in a living creature that happens within the same species, while macroevolution is with living creatures evolving to a different form of species. Charles Darwin was one of the first scientists to form some type of a theory on evolution. However, data sets such as; the geological column, fossil record, and structural homology, all prove that evolution is just a theory. The geological column is a classification system that is made up of creatures that over time fossilized. In theory one can dig up a fossil and guess around what time it was alive. Exploring Creation with Biology, says Charles Darwin believed that because he found more “complex” lifeforms on the top of the geological column, that life was evolving like macroevolution states.

The fossil record is a great example that disproves macroevolution. The fossil record, according to, Biology-Online, “is the totality of fossilized artifacts and their placement within the earth's rock strata. It provides information about the history of life on earth, for instance what the organisms look like, where and when they live, how they evolved, etc.” If creatures really did evolve over time we would be able to see one creature, change into another by examining fossils. The fossils we examine have intermediate links and transitional forms. These are the records in between the evolution of one creature to another. Paleontologists discover fossils all around the world, but still cannot prove the existence of evolution on creatures from the past, because of the missing links that are brought up when comparing creatures for
