Scientific Method: Scientific methods are the way to find new knowledge by seen or experimenting to test the hypothesis. The way to do it is by asking questions, research make a hypothesis try your hypothesis and then by the results you get you will meke the conclusion after you should check if the is your hypothesis is true and if your hipothesis is not true then you should try again and do more experiments.

Example Of An Experiment That Uses The Scientific Method

An example would be to to make a hypotesis that says that beans don't need light to grow and is kinda basicly you do the experiment you put one can with beand in the sun and then you put another one in the dark and depending on the result you get you can say that your hypotesis was tru or was false but if you want to prove that is true even if it fail then try it again in different situations.

Evolution: Evolution tells that the people were form by evolving it says that the Earth was create by a big explosion “Big Bang” and then there were like cell and some molecules and they started to evolve and by the time pass more creatures started to develop and they started to multiple. So they say that we as humans were created from some kind of monkey and we evolved in to what we are now.

Creation: Creation is the theory that believes that the world and the universe was created by a greater power “Higher Been”. That there was this person that created everything, Created animal and all and then decide to create a man.

Personal Opinion:
I belive mostly in the creation theory and th reason I belive so is because for me it sounds better than the evolution theory and that is so because in the evolution theory they said that the Earth was created by a big explosion and the some molecues got together and form the Earth. That is why I don't in the evolution theory.
