In the second paragraph of the U.S Constitution, Thomas Jefferson wrote all people have the right to life, liberty and happiness. these ideas come from John Locke. for example, Locke said people are born with natural right such as the right to own your property, as well as the right to life and liberty. what they both wrote came from the same idea that people are born with these right

this shows that both men believed in democracy was the form of government because the people choose the government

evolution vs creationism

2009-09-15T10:38:00.000-07:00

evolution means that humens evoled from gorillas. Into cavemen then into modern man.
the man that came up with this theroy is charles darwin he made a book named the origen of species saying the same thing.

creationism is the idea that god made earth and eveything on it the way it is now. creationism also believe that god made adam and eve the first humens on earth were just the offspring of them. creationism is a religious belief thats thats why so many people in the world believe in god

i believe in creationism because it makes more sence because people believe karma and bad and good luck and miracles. why not believe in god.
