Gensis vs. Darwin
Both pieces of text offer us different outlooks on the not so simple creation of life. Genesis is written in a clean style with a simple flow that makes it easy for all people rich or poor educated or uneducated to understand. The excerpt seems to address the masses and is able to bring every person in existence together regardless of status. The writing shines light on the magnificence of God and both literally and metaphorically as God is not only presented as the supreme being he is but also as a friendly attainable piece of life that we can relate too. Although he is given the power he deserves credited with the right of what he says is made such as, "And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry gourd appear.". This not only justifies the simplicity of life but gives it character but as well as face or in this sense and in every other religious view a character to represent it. Now on the other hand Darwin, in my opinion is very deep. It is drawn out at times dry and boring but then again sometimes science has to be dry and boring. Darwin doesn't write for every to believe him or get happy with what he is trying to say, the way Genesis was basically a map for the common man to understand the creation of the heavens and the earth. Darwin explains that evolution and the creation of mankind is methodical and has to be studied, that God himself could not have created everything on this beautiful earth. Darwin explains that the random births and deaths and extinction can not be the hand of god, because there are things that end because of random acts of nature and but as well as species that stay past their time.
