Who Should We Trust?

The creation of man might be the biggest controversy between religion and science. The being created in seven days and evolution never seem to make up and shake hands. And due to this, people won't to. This conflict has gone for way too long and has to be put to an end. Though I, myself, am a Catholic, one must not be deprived from teaching such things as evolution. I am not trying to attack religion but tolerance must be had.

The evidence we have for each theory is very different. Evolution has fossils and genetic similarities while for the creation in seven days, we have the Bible. But can we completely trust the Bible? The book of Genesis itself was written by Moses many years after what could have been creation. Not only that but the Bible has gone through many translations and versions that might have changed the actual meaning. When the Bible wasn't for access to everyone thousands of years ago, a ruler or pope could change anything he didn't like about the Bible and not get penalised. We all know that religious leaders got really corrupt during the Middle Ages. The fossils, though, are most certainly real and show a striking similarity to our structure and that of monkeys for there to be a possibility of a middle point.


There are many example of plot holes in the Bible that might have been done during translation. There's Cain's infamous wife who appeared out of nowhere and the first day that was without light making a day impossible. These are many examples that prove that the information we are being given might not be the one we are supposed to be getting. I'm not attacking my own religion or anything, but it is common sense that a book that is thousands of years old is bound to get changed somwhere in history. One can be religious but must not follow the Bible word for word. The Bible is not supposed to become a man's chains, but make the man think. And every man must be allowed to think in their own way.
