Occam's Razor: When multiple explanations are available for a phenomenon, the simplest version is preferred.
That to me explains why so many believe in Creationism.
Geology: The scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the earth.
IE: Geology shows that fossils are of many different ages.
Paleontology: The study of the forms of life existing in prehistoric or geologic times, as represented by the fossils of plants, animals, and other organisms.
IE: Paleontology shows a fossil sequence, the list of species representing changes through the process of time.
Taxonomy: The classification of organisms in an ordered system that indicates natural relationships.
IE: Taxonomy shows biological relationships between and among all species.
Evolution: A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form, directly in relation to environment.
IE: Evolution is the explanation that threads it all together. It's not just another "Religion" as the Creationists will have you believe.
Creationism: Belief in the literal interpretation of the account of the creation of the universe and of all living things related in the Bible.
IE: The practice of closing a persons eyes shut and screaming "DOES NOT!"
