 | | Extraterrestrial creationism is the view that life on Earth was created by a race of extraterrestrials which came to be worshipped by men as gods and described in ancient religious texts. | | | Creationism is based on the belief that the Bible is a historically accurate account of ancient events. | | | Religious Creationism is the belief that the universe and life on Earth were created by an almighty deity. |

| | Creationism, in its most general form, is the belief that intelligence (particularly a supernatural intelligence) was involved in the origin of life or the universe. | | | Gap creationism - Believe there is a large gap between genesis 1:1 and genesis 1:2, accounting for the age of the Earth. | | | Old Earth creationism (OEC) - Do not believe in a literal genesis, usually accept micro-evolution but not macro-evolution, and may not accept that humans are related to other animals. |

| | Creationism |
| | Creationism, in its broadest sense, is the belief that the entire universe was created by a divine being rather than by processes that can be explained by the laws of physics. | | | In some Middle Eastern states, fundamentalist Islamic creationism is also a major force (in Taleban-ruled Afghanistan, for instance, it was the only permitted account of the origins of the world, and there are extreme Jewish or Hindu fundamentalists amongst others whose religious schools teach other versions). | | | Other creationists are more subtle; some allow the earth to be considerably older than 6000 years, even as old as 4.3 billion years – which is what conventional science says – and restrict their beliefs to a denial that the universe can exist without a creating god. |

| | But Johnson's Creationism is not all that there is to religion, to Christianity in particular. | | | Here, Creationism means the taking of the Bible, particularly the early chapters of Genesis, as literally true guides to the history of the universe and to the history of life, including us humans, down here on earth (Numbers 1992). | | | Generally they are known as ‘theists,’ distinguishing them from ‘deists,’ that is people who believe that there is a designer who might or might not have created the material on which he (or she or it) is working and who does not interfere once the designing act is finishing. |

| | Can Creationism Be Scientific? |
| | It might be said that theistic creationism, especially biblical creationism, is a form of religion, so to teach it as science in the public schools would be to "establish a religion" in the state, which would be a violation of the anti-establishment clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. | | | There could in principle also be forms of creationism that make no reference to God or to any supernatural entities. | | | It is sometimes called "the theory of intelligent design." It usually takes the form of theistic creationism, which is the view that the creator was God, as conceived by western religions. |

| | (Creationism in any form is a relatively minor force in other parts of the world.) Since creationism grades gradually into evolution, part 1 also considers evolutionary beliefs. | | | Members of the Asatru religion have also filed suit to stop the repatriation on the grounds that Kennewick Man's possible European ancestry is important to their own religious views (Anon., 1999). | | | It says that originally there was no essential difference between people and animals, that giant people and megafauna once coexisted, and that people and animals shrunk in stature after the golden age came to an end with the earth being ravaged by fire from volcanism. |

| | At one end of the spectrum, creationism can be simply the belief that the Universe was created by God, a belief which is probably shared by all monotheists. | | | At the other end, it can be Young Earth Creationism, the belief that the Genesis account of creation is literally true and that the scientific evidence supports this belief. | | | By pseudoscience, we mean a belief system which is claimed to be based on science, but which is actually based on arguments that are not only flawed, but are so egregiously bad that they do not stand up to any serious open-minded examination. |

| | Creationism to Universal Darwinism: Evolution and Religion (2002) by Taner Edis | | | Forrest argues that intelligent design creationism is an attempt to ground social institutions in evangelical religion, allowing proponents to align with more literalist creationists in "defeating naturalism and its consequences," and to transform science itself in a theistic endeavor designed to promote faith rather than science. | | | Ho argues that this apologetic way of thinking should be rejected, because it leads to "immense textual difficulties elsewhere" in Genesis, and "it still fails to explain other geological and evolutionary facts, or is even at odds with them." |
