| ARTICLES RELATED TO Creation | | | | |  Creation: Encyclopedia II - History of creationism - DarwinIn the 1860s, the concept of variation through natural selection first came to be widely understood. Charles Darwin (1809 - 1882) published The Origin of Species in 1859 suggesting that species had evolved by the process of natural selection. The theory of evolution would later develop through the 20th century; see history of evolutionary thought.
Darwin's book ignited a furious controversy in Victorian Britain, as it posed fundamental questions about the relationship between religion and science. Though Origin did not e ...

| | | | | | | | | Creation: Encyclopedia II - Creation science - Subjects within creation science Subjects within creation science can be into split into three broad categories, each covering a different area of origins research; creationist cosmologies, flood geology, and creation biology.
Creation science - Creation biology.
Creation biology centers around an idea derived from Genesis that states that life was created by God in a finite number of created kinds rather than through biological evolution. Creationists who involve themselves in this endeavor believe that observable speciation took place t ...

| | | | | | Creation: Encyclopedia II - Creation Exalted - Basic geography At the center of static reality is the Blessed Isle, a 4,400-mile long continent surrounded by the Inner Sea. To the west, the sea becomes the Western Ocean. North, east and south of the Inner Sea is an encircling continent that stretches all the way to the edge of reality.
The terrain, weather and culture of the lands of Creation are determined by relative proximity to the Elemental Poles. (In the classic western model, there are four elements: fire versus water; earth versus air. Exalted, however, ...

| | | | | Creation: Encyclopedia II - Creation science - History and organization Creationism, the belief in a created universe, was originally based purely on theology. The vast majority of Church Fathers and Reformers accepted Genesis straightforwardly, and even the few who did not, such as Origen and Augustine, defended an earth that was on the order of thousands of years old. Also, until around the 1830s Creationism (the Theory of Special Creation), was the predominant theory favoured by scientists. By the 1830s, dissatisfaction with the theory of special creation had begun to grow. In 1859 Darwin published On the Origin of Species and by the 1900s natural ...

| | | | | Creation: Encyclopedia II - History of creationism - Early history Biblical Creationism stems from the ancient Hebrew text of Genesis (see creation according to Genesis), purporting it to be a historical document recording God's creation of the World in six days, and resting on the seventh. According to the genealogies recorded in the Bible, this was calculated to have occurred approximately 4000 BC. With the Jewish diaspora, and the spread of Christianity throughout Europe between the 1st century and the 3rd century, creation beliefs displaced many Greco-Roman naturalistic ...

| | | | | Creation: Encyclopedia II - Old Earth creationism - Types of Old Earth Creationism
Old Earth creationism - Gap Creationism.
One type of Old Earth creationism is Gap creationism. This view states that life was immediately created on a pre-existing old Earth. One variant rests on a literal reading of Genesis 1:1 as, "In the beginning, when the earth was formless and void," implying that the earth already existed, but had passed into decay during an earlier age of existence, and was being "shaped anew". This view is more consistent with mainstream science with respect to the age of the Eart ...

| | | | | | Creation: Encyclopedia II - Young Earth creationism - Criticisms of Young Earth creationism Young Earth creationism was abandoned as a mainstream scientific concept over 150 years ago. While many mainstream scientists respect it as a faith position, they contend that it is little more than that and regard attempts to prove it scientifically as being little more than religiously motivated pseudoscience. In 1997, a poll by the Gallup organization showed that 5% of US scientists believed in Young Earth creationism; however, not all creationists are YECs. Some subscribe to old earth creationism, w ...

| | | | | Creation: Encyclopedia II - Young Earth creationism - The history of young Earth creationism Young Earth creationism, in the West primarily, has its earliest roots in Judaism. For example, Ibn Ezra's (c. 1089–1164) commentary on Genesis is greatly esteemed in traditional rabbinical circles and he believed the Genesis days were 24 hour periods.[1] The first-century Jewish historian Josephus also accepted a six-day creation and young earth. It was also the dominant view of the Church Fathers and Protestant Reformers.[2]
For much of the history of Christianity, young Earth creationism was the majority viewpoint in the absence ...

| | | | | Creation: Encyclopedia II - Young Earth creationism - Characteristics of Young Earth creationism Young Earth Creationists (YECs) comprise mainly Orthodox Jews and Christians who interpret the creation account of Genesis as historically accurate, factually correct, and in most cases, strictly inerrant. Analogously, those Muslims who might be described as YECs regard the account of creation in the Qur'an in the same way.
The defining characteristic of this belief is that the Earth is "young", on the order of 6,000 to 10,000 years old, rather than the age of 4.5 billion years estimated by a variety of scientific methods including ra ...

| | | | | Creation: Encyclopedia II - History of creationism - Renaissance to Darwin The Renaissance starting in the 14th century saw the establishment of protoscience that eventually would lead to the development of modern science through the Scientific revolution. This was a period of great social change. European colonization of the Americas was driven by people fleeing from religious persecution. The later Enlightenment (beginning in the 17th century) saw improvements in communications and economics (see Industrial Revolution) lead to advances in science and improved education. In the United States, due to the Establishment Clause, no church was given government sanction, so Christianity evo ...

| | | | | Creation: Encyclopedia II - History of creationism - Differing beliefs By now, the main positions regarding evolution had been established. Generally, the advent of evolution theory divided people into two main camps: those who opposed theories of evolution, and those who accepted or promoted such theories.
Those opposed to theories of evolution:
Young Earth creationists, who believed that evolution was scientifically untenable, and merely an attempt to justify atheism, reacted by asserting Biblical inerrancy and a biblically literal creation.
Old Earth creationists, who accepted th ...
