EVOLUTION AND CREATIONISM

by Andrew Dalby and Matt Stewart

  This display deals with the controversy between evolution and creationism. In order to do so, it is presented as a guide to help us understand who the players are and what a valid argument is, since we will be dealing with a fair number of arguments.

  It is not the intention of this work to dash someone's beliefs nor to belittle anyone on either side of this debate. We simply wish to present the sides and their arguments, and to provide a manner in which we can all evaluate the different aspects of this controversy. If someone has a certain belief or faith, no one can evaluate them or change them but the person holding them. We cannot change your minds any more than you can change ours. This is not our intention.
