What is the fundamental difference between Darwin’s theory of evolution and the Theory of Special Creation?

A. Special Creation states that species evolve via mutations; Darwinism says they evolve via natural selection.
B. Special Creation states that species are immutable and were designed individually; Darwinism states that species share common ancestry and adapt over time.
✓
C. Darwinism suggests that life has remained completely unchanged since the creation of the Earth.
D. There is no difference; both theories state that all organisms evolved from a single bacterium.

📝 Explanation

Special Creation is a non-evolutionary concept proposing that species are fixed, unchanging entities created in their current forms, whereas Darwinism emphasizes descent with modification.
