Evolution Korea

South Korea's democracy is susceptible to populist inclinations. It is still healthier than expected.

The country is looking for an entirely new model of development. A Confucian culture that values respect for ancestors as well as gendered family relationships continues to influence society. There are signs of a secularist cultural trend emerging.

Origins

In the prehistoric era, the ancestors of modern Koreans lived by hunting and gathering wild food. Then around 10,000 years ago, they began to grow crops such as millet and beans. They also raised livestock and created furs. They formed tribal states in Manchuria and later on the Korean peninsula. They also established a metallurgy industry, producing bronze and later iron tools. They traded with other states and introduced cedon papermaking, block printing art styles, as well as written language to Japan.

In 2333 BCE Gojoseon was founded on the southern part of the peninsula. The state adopted Buddhism and adopted Chinese culture, including Confucian philosophy. In this period, the people of Buyeo were part of Gojoseon. Gojoseon was a hierarchical society that included a monarch as well as high-ranking officials were drawn from the landed aristocracy while the rest of the population was peasants. The state collected taxes from these citizens and sometimes even forced them to join the army or build fortifications.

By the end of the period, the state of Baekje was founded by Onjo who was a prince of Goguryeo and the son of Jumong who was the founder of Goguryeo. This new kingdom expanded into the southwest of the peninsula, and clashed against the Goguryeo commanderies and China's in the area.

In 1145 CE the Samguk Sagi or "History of the Three Kingdoms" was first recorded.

Evolution in Korea

The Korean peninsula has been continuously inhabited since Neolithic times and early evidence of human settlements is evident in the form graves lined with stones, with precious objects like amazonite jewelry being buried with the dead. Megalithic structures, referred to as dolmens, and made from single large stones are prevalent throughout the country.

In the first second half of the 1st millennium BCE, Gojoseon established itself as the first recognisable political state. The peninsula was then ruled by a number of states during the Three Kingdoms Period (57 BC-635 CE), including Baekje and Goguryeo. The northern region of the peninsula was occupied for a time by the Balhae Kingdom that historians do consider to be a genuine Korean state.

After the Three Kingdoms arose the Proto-Three Kingdoms Period, also known as the Several States Period. Baekje was the most powerful of these states was diminished by the collapse of Goguryeo (676 CE) leaving only its southern regions in Manchuria, and western region around Hwanghae Bay. Eastern Buyeo and the Gaya confederacy, prospered for a time.

The Unified Silla Kingdom then emerged and the three kingdoms started to work together to expand their territories. In the final phase, Silla, with significant Chinese assistance, defeated all other states and unified the peninsula in 935 CE.

As Korea enters the post-crisis period the development paradigm of the country appears to be in flux. The people who are awed by the enormous cost of the old system are in favor of a comprehensive plan for liberalization of labor, capital and product markets.

This article also identifies the key factors that appear to be driving these developments.

Creationism in Korea

In South Korea, 26 percent of the population is Christian. Creationists have made strides in promoting their views to this segment. A survey conducted in 2009 found that nearly three-quarters of respondents did not believe in evolution.

This level of disbelief is comparable to that of the United States, where a majority of people do not accept that humans evolved from less advanced forms of life.

In the past, the anti-evolution movement in Korea was focused on educating students and bringing Christ to them. In 1980, a four-day creation science seminar was held in Seoul during the World Evangelization Crusade. Drs. Henry Morris and Duane Gish of ICR as the main speakers. This event attracted a huge number of pastors, professors, church leaders and scientists.

KACR members taught throughout the nation in universities and churches.

A KACR success was witnessed at the KAIST University in Seoul. Students at the KAIST university in Seoul were so fascinated by creationism that they raised money and secured funding to construct a small museum dedicated to creation on campus.

In addition to its work, KACR has published a bimonthly magazine, CREATION. The magazine covers subjects that pertain to the science of creation. It also sponsored a series of lectures by ICR staff. It has also established a network of local branch offices that offer talks and seminars to schoolchildren and other community groups.

Changes in South Korea

In the latter half of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, Korea moved toward a Westernised lifestyle.
