Evolution Korea

Up until recently the Korean scientific community resisted engaging with creationists for fear of giving the movement more credence. But silence is no any longer an option.

The STR has been fighting to get rid of textbooks that explain evolution, such as the discovery of the feathered dinosaur Archaeopteryx as an early bird's ancestor. This is only one aspect of the development paradigm's evolution.

What is Evolution?

Evolution is a theory of science that explains the evolution of genetic traits over time. The theory is based on the fact that living organisms adjust to their environment, which may result in changes to genes or even whole genomes. These changes can over many generations lead to the creation of new species. The predominant theory of evolution is known as natural selection, which describes the process by which those with favorable characteristics live and reproduce more frequently than those with disadvantages. Over time, this differential reproduction could lead to the development of entirely new species.

The word "evolution" is derived from the Latin word"evolution" which means unrolling or revealing, but the concept itself has a myriad of meanings since it took shape in the sciences and in other fields. Some early evolutionists, including Jean Baptiste de Lamarck and Erasmus Darwin (Charles's grandfather), believed that existing species changed into other species in a certain way. Etienne Geoffroy St-Hilaire was Lamarck's embryologist disciple who coined the term "transmutation" to describe this idea. Charles Lyell, who published the second volume of his Principles of Geology in 1833, attacked this idea and borrowed the term "evolution" from Geoffroy's student to describe the idea that species are evolving into different species in a gradual and predictable manner.

Evolutionary biologists define it more recently as a process in which living things develop characteristics to improve their chances of living or conceiving offspring. Over time this genetic variation can result in the development of entirely new physical or biological functions in the population. This change in gene frequencies is called natural selection, and is the primary driver behind evolutionary changes. However other changes that are not genetic, such as the increase in the muscle mass as a result of exercise or diet cannot be considered to be examples of evolution because they are not passed on to future generations.

Despite the fact that evolution has withstood the tests of time and thousands of scientific experiments Creationists have taken advantage of the idea that evolution is controversial and argue that it shouldn't be taught in schools. In South Korea, creationists won some victories against evolution in textbooks for high schools. This includes the removal of references about the evolutionary origins for humans as well as Archaeopteryx - a feathered dinosaur which is believed to be the ancestor of birds.

Why is Evolution Important for Humanity?

Evolution explains how Earth and all its living species evolved. It is also one of the pillars of biology, and helps scientists understand how living things work and develop. Evolution also reveals the relationships between species. Scientists study evolution in order to better understand nature and make useful discoveries such as new drugs.

?????????? for biological evolution is overwhelming. No other scientific theory explains more about the universe and the life on earth. It has been thoroughly studied and verified for many years. Many people, and even religious leaders, are in favor of the scientific theory. It is important to understand that evolutionary biology does not interfere with religious beliefs, as the theory only deals with objects, events and processes in the physical world.

In fact many religious individuals have discovered ways to reconcile their beliefs with the theory of evolution. For instance some Christians believe that God created the world through evolution and that humans share an ancestral lineage with other animals.

It is important that scientists and educators speak out for the teaching evolution. In some countries around the globe the anti-evolution movement is growing. In the United States some states have taken steps to limit the teaching evolution. In South Korea, a group known as the Society for Textbook Revise, an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research (KAC) is a campaign for textbook content on the evolutionary history of horses and their avian ancestor Archaeopteryx.

While these are troubling developments, it is also important to keep in mind that the evidence for evolution is overwhelming. The evidence for evolution is based on a variety of sources, including fossils, genetics and the behavior of living creatures. The evidence is also independently verified by other scientists.

The majority of scientists believe in the theory of evolution. The reasons behind this support are diverse. Certain scientists study evolution in order to make practical discoveries that can lead to the development of new medications and other treatments, while others are driven by the desire to improve the lives of animals and plant species, usually to benefit humans. Some scientists are simply curious, whereas others have an intense belief in God.

What is Creationism?

Creationists believe that God created everything in the universe. They also believe the Bible is God's word and should be interpreted in a literal manner. Many creationists are Christians, but not all. Creationists typically fall into two categories: Young Earth creationists (YEC) and old earth creationists (OEC).

The most well-known kind of creationist is called the YEC. They believe that God created the universe exactly in the way described in the Bible. YECs believe that the biblical account of the creation's six days is true and that the universe and the life on Earth began only recently.

OECs are less well known, but they're just as enthusiastic about their beliefs as YECs. OECs believe that the universe and life on Earth are billions of years old, and that evolution is a myth.

Both forms of creationism deny the idea that scientific principles like biogenesis and natural selection can explain how life started on Earth. They claim that evolution is impossible because it would require an extraordinary event, and that the pioneers of modern science shied away from miracles due to fear of losing credibility.

Some creationists believe in naturalistic evolution as well as special creation. They call their view “theistic evolution." It is sometimes referred to as "continuous creationism" or "evolution from the original species." In this view, God creates the original species and allows them to evolve over time. These evolutionary changes will eventually produce new species that are similar to the original.

Other creationists hold that God created the universe and all living things in one event, referred to as the Great Flood. They believe that the first species were created simultaneously, and that they evolved slowly afterward. They reject the idea of abiogenesis and assert that self-replicating living cannot come from nonliving matter.

In general, creationists are against teaching evolution in schools. Numerous professional organizations like the National Science Teachers Association and the Association for Science Teacher Education support this position as do the American Anthropological Association and the Geological Society of America. Some scientists and educational institutions are, however, more flexible and permit both creationism and evolution to be included in their curriculum.

What is Creationism in Korea?

When people think of the concept of creationism, they often think of the United States. However, South Korea is also the home of an anti-evolutionist movement. The publishers of textbooks for high school students have recently announced that they will remove references to evolution from their textbooks. A group called the Society for Textbook Revise (STR), an independent body that is an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research which is the driving force behind the campaign. The STR has scored its first victory by removing from textbooks evidence of the evolution and ancestor of the bird, the Archeopteryx. Its next target is to take out the finch-research of Darwin's famed as well as on human evolution.

STR claims to have the support of around 4000 families and individuals. The goal, according to STR is to clear the world of what it calls "atheist materialism" that paints a negative view for students. It also hopes to combat the influence of American Creationists in the United States. A survey of trainee biology teachers revealed that a majority do not believe in evolution. The root causes are unclear however, they could be related to religious beliefs and the lack of full-time creation scientists in the country.


The KACR has achieved a number of things in the past through lectures and seminar events. It publishes a bimonthly magazine, Creation, and has published books. One of them is a textbook on the natural sciences that has an orthodox creationist perspective, which has sparked interest among college students. In 1991, a professor along with a minister began teaching Creation Science at one university. It is still taught in the present.

On August 6 and 7 the 7th of August 1993, which coincided with the World Expo opened in Daejeon, KACR held a second International Symposium on Creation Research. Six lecturers from outside the country, including ICR's John Morris and Steven Austin addressed a crowd of more than a thousand. KACR members and KACR have also presented lectures on the subject of creation science at major seminaries. KACR plans to create a Creation Science Education Center in the near future.
