Evolution vs. religion

From the time man has taken his first breath, till this present day, one question continues to boggle the mind. This mysterious question is what divides people as a whole. Its strong will power has the determination on how we view the world and choose to live our days on earth.
Many view the world from a religious point. God is who they center their entire existence around and through him you can find happiness. If you live a virtuous life you will inherit the kingdom of God and enjoy this happiness for eternity. Everything that occurs on earth is God’s doing and the reason for life itself is because of him.
On the other side of the spectrum you have the people that abandon the belief of God and turn to the theory of evolution. These people tend to high light the scientific explanations for the world we live in. For example, if you’re familiar with the bible, you know the gist about Moses. Moses warned the pharos that if his people weren’t set free then seven plaques would be released. The Nile river would turn into blood, they would be attacked by toads, mosquitoes, then suffer from mumps. Well scientifically speaking, the Nile didn’t turn into blood. Scientifically speaking, poisonous red algae were dropped into the river causing the Nile to turn red; it killed all the fishes so the toads began to go into the cities to find alternative foods. While in the city they were killed by people and thrown on the street to rot. During those times there was a special kind of fly called a locus that would feed on these rotten toads. So when the locus saw these dead toads hoarding in the city, they came in packs to feed off of them as well as feed off of people. As far as the first child dying in every family; Scientist says it was because the food was kept in a storage place that grew a poisonous mold. The first child was given two servings of the food causing them to get a double dose of poison.
These two parties have existed since time and still today that mind boggling question has still not been put to rest. It still manages to survive and waver off into generation after generation causing the world to be divided by those who believe in God, and those who believe in evolution. And as long as breath is blown into a human being the question will always be, what is the concrete answer for the reason of our existence and life itself?
