People have always wondered who we are, where we came from, and how we came to be. Scholars argue that we are the descendents of an unknown common ancestor to the ape and that we are closely related to them as well. Others argue that we came to be based on the teachings in the Bible. In any case the evolution theory provides a good argument which gives people the benefit of the doubt, but at the same time doesn't connect anyway to what is normally religiously practiced.
The theory of evolution has been argued by scholars for many years. The common theory is the Darwin Theory of Evolution which states that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor. This theory argues the fact that todays plants and animals (including humans) have evolved over time from our primitive ancestors through the process known as natural selection. This process states that the beneficial traits of our ancestors over an extended period of time resulted in what is known as todays plant or animal. To put it simply, we are the most up to date model of what is known as a human like the most up to date model of a car, and like a car over time it will "evolve" and become more adapted and efficient to better suit its environment.
There is also the debate on whether evolution is a fact or theory. Most scientists believe that evolution is indeed a theory with very well supported facts, such as fossils. While others believe that evolution is a fact and can be proven anytime. Religious experts would often argue evolution to be theory but at the same time scientists would argue what they believe to be theory as well. Each side in turn could both be theory since one is based on facts on what is and the other is based on faith. Who knows what to believe really when both sides present such strong arguments? We as humans are stuck with this difficult decision on whether to believe what we were raised (for the most part) to believe or to believe the facts that are brought before us.
Regardless on if it's a fact or theory, it is still a widely discussed topic on how we came to be what we are today. We must also take note that with all the facts that we have on this subject, it is still a big puzzle with many missing pieces that still need to be discovered. Without more and ultimately the rest of the pieces, the topic of evolution will never be able to reach its full potential.
