Creationism vs. Evolution

Link

Inside the article it claims that Evolution is the idea that humans evolved from less advanced life forms over millions of years. And it claims that creationism is the idea that God created humans in their present form within the past 10,000 years.

Why is it so hard to describe these two theories correctly?

Evolution is the idea that a population will adapt to the environment around them through changes in their gene structure from one generation to the next.

Creationism is the idea that God created the universe and everything in it and that the universe continues to function because he controls it.

It always drives me nuts when people do not describe the two theories accurately. And when you get right down to it, there really is no reason why both theories cannot be true.

Now if the article said the Theory of Human Evolution or Young Earth Creationism, then their descriptions would be accurate. But that's not what they were describing.
