The theory of evolution is not a philosophy, nor is it a religion.
Evolution is biology,
If you want to learn about creationism, then that would fall under the subject relating to "theology" or even "comparative religions", not science. Or better yet, you can learn it from one of the churches or at Sunday schools.
The reason why creationism is supernatural, because it required faith in belief of god, angels, demons, spirits, miracles, resurrection, afterlife, talking donkey and serpent. None of these are testable, observable, falsifiable.
Like I said, Evolution is biology, and it explain why life change over period of generations, through one of the biological mechanisms:
- Natural Selection
- Gene Flow
- Genetic Drift
- Genetic Hitchhiking
- Mutation
Genesis 1, 2 & 3 don't explain. It just say God this or that, but nothing to explain HOW.
Science is supposed to explain the HOW. Creationism clearly doesn't.
To give you an example of Genesis' flaws.
Genesis 1:4 say that God created light, by simply saying "Let there be light." And then there was light.
But it doesn't explain WHAT is light or HOW the light was made? And WHERE is the source of light?
Light doesn't just appear out of no where or from nothing.
In physics, light is explained as electromagnetic waves, therefore it has frequency and wavelength, just like microwave, infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation. But light has a dual property: it can be both a wave and a particle. As a particle, it is known as photon.
Light required some sort of matters to make it exist. For instance, light can come flame, so you might ignite some sort of gases (eg methane) with oxygen, causing to generate light and heat.
Another example is the ordinary electric light globe. In the old light globe, you could see inside a globe of core wire, but what you can't see upinside the globe is gas. When electricity is passed through the coil wire, the coil would glow, it will emit heat and light.
The star also generate light as well as heat, again another example of light requiring source for its existence. Astronomers explained that all the power and energy, as well as heat and light a star could generate, from the process known as stellar nucleosynthesis.
If you have studied physics before, you would know that nuclear frisson come where heavier element break down a larger element into smaller atoms (like atom bomb). Nuclear fusion, on the other, work in the opposite direction, fusing two lighter atoms to make a single heavier atom (eg hydrogen bomb), also known as thermonuclear chain reaction.
Getting back to the star example. Power and energy from the sun is derived from fusing two hydrogen atoms into a single helium atom, a process of thermonuclear fusion, or like I said earlier - stellar nucleosynthesis. This fusion is actually occurring at the sun's core. But what we can observed at the surface of the sun, is that plasma of hydrogen gases being flung about, and the heat from core cause the gases or plasma to be incandescent. All this generate light and other radiations.
Science and science textbook could explain each of my 3 examples, a lot clearer and better, and in more details. My point in those 3 examples are that light don't magically appear out of nowhere or from nothing, like God saying the magic words "Let there be light".
This is why the bible is delegated to that of a book of religion and myth, not science, BECAUSE CREATIONISM (including the the bible) DON'T AND CANNOT EXPLAIN WHAT THEY ARE DESCRIBING (eg sun, light, atmospheres, or biology of plants and animals) AND HOW THEY ALL WORK!!!
Compare to science, scriptures are just idiot books, filled with illogical superstitions and false belief about nature.
The only true worth of the scriptures, such as the bible, is the law and moral codes, but even then, laws and codes are sometimes outdated.
