In this nine minute YouTube video about the controversial issue of Evolution and Creationism, the scientists favor the Evolution side. Most of the scientists in this video say that the controversy is within the society, and not so much within the biologist’s opinions, and this is evident because David Deamer, a Biomolecular Engineer, says, “there is no controversy within the biologists, and within people who work in Evolutionary Theory” (3:00). The scientists go on to say that there are always going to be disagreements on the way of Evolution between scientists, but there’s no controversy when it comes to the theory being right or wrong. Some scientists think people don’t believe in Evolution due to religious reasons, and they say it’s often a political controversy as well. What the scientists in this video are trying to get us to understand is that we can’t just assume that something is wrong, we have to study it first.
In my opinion, more people should come to the realization of what Evolution really is, and not just assume what they always hear. Everyone should do more research before they get to a conclusion. Also, it’s unrealistic to think that the biologists are going to have a problem within their group about the controversial issue, when they wouldn’t study it if they didn’t want to, or if it wasn’t something they were interested in. I feel like everyone has their opinion, and I think that people should go with what they feel, instead of listening to the scientists all the time. It’s really not all about them, they just do the research.
