CRD 205- Man and his Environment

Whenever one is seeking to find out the origin of something, one may be tempted to ask the following questions such as: "when did it start?", "how did it start?" and "where did it start? Our major concern here is to find out about the origin of man. How did man start on? How did man race started off? Who are man's ancestors? Additional questions which might bothers the minds of every man, woman, boy or girl are that "where did human beings come from?" and how did man originate? The answers to these questions are not farfetched. If you ask a boy or a girl where does he/she comes from, the boy or girl would say he/she actually comes from his/her parents and they originate from them. But one may be tempted to ask further where do the parents come from? Truly, one may say they came from grandparents. Again, where do the grandparents came from? They came from great grandparents. All these answers are correct but they do not truly reflect the origin of man. The puzzle which requires answer is that "has man always been in existence? "has mankind been around forever?" Is man eternal, or was there a time when man was not here? Specifically, there was a time when there was no man on earth and a time when there was no earth. But today, there are billions of men, women and children on the planet earth. The question is how do these people get there? Where do they originate from? The origin of man can be explained under three basic ideas. The first idea is that man evolved from evolutional theory. Evolution theory teaches that man gradually evolved from lower animals (such as apelike creatures) in a bit by bit changing process. Therefore, the evolutionists say that man is nothing more than a highly intelligent animal. The second idea of man's origin is that man owes his existence to "unidentified flying objects"(UFOs). UFOLOGISTS explained the origin of man in different way. These people do not believed in biblical and evolutionists explanations of man's origin. The first two ideas are not appropriately positioned.
