Evolution is a theory by Charles Darwin that states that all life on Earth is related and that they descended from a common ancestor. It also states that complex creatures evolved from simpler creatures. The process of evolution is aided by natural selection which helps organisms with advantageous traits and mutations. Those organisms will survive and their children will inherit their traits. This allows species with a functional advantage to preserve their traits and compete better in the wild. However this takes millions of years to occur.
Creationism is the belief that the universe, the Earth, humanity, and all other life was created by a deity or deities. This could also refer to the religious rejection of evolution. Young Earth Creationism states the god created everything in 6 24-hour days and that the Earth is 6,000 to 10,000 years old. Old Earth Creationism still believes that God created everything but also believe geological findings that state that the Earth is millions of years old. These two beliefs both reject the theory of evolution.
I believe that evolution is true because it gives an explanation to how many things are. I do think that there could be a possibility that God could have created the universe and evolution still might have occurred. Evolution just only states how organisms became more complex not how life was created. Creationism however does explain how life was created, so I it is possible that both can be true. However, the reason I don't completely believe in creationism is because there are so many theories on how the Earth was created that I have no idea which one to believe.
