Creation science has its roots in the ongoing effort by young-earth creationists to critique modern science's description of natural history (particularly biological evolution, but also geology and physical cosmology) while attempting to offer an alternative explanation of observable phenomena—an explanation they also describe as "science"—compatible with the Biblical account. The proponents of creation science often argue that many observable phenomena fit more easily into the Biblical account than with the naturalistic worldview ...

According to the Book of Genesis in Judaism's Torah, the Christian Bible and Islam's Qur'an, Adam was the first man created by God. At Genesis 1:27 Adam's female mate is said to have been created with Adam, and at Genesis 2:21-22 Adam's wife is named as Eve (or Chava-חוה) and was created from his side. Hence, Eve has, in modern times, been thought of as the first woman, according to these texts, though classical traditions recorded in the Midrash make her the second. The Qur'an tells the story of Adam and Eve mainly i ...

In biology, evolution is the process by which populations of organisms acquire and pass on novel traits from generation to generation. Its action over large stretches of time explains the origin of new species and ultimately the vast diversity of the biological world. The living species of today are related to each other through common descent, products of evolution and speciation over billions of years. The phylogenetic tree at right represents these re ...

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 ...

The question of determining the boundaries between baramin is a subject of much discussion and debate among creation biologists. A number of criteria have been presented. Baraminology - Early efforts at demarcation. Hybridization: The traditional criterion for membership in a common baramin is the ability to hybridize and create viable offspring. Frank Lewis Marsh coined the term baramin in his book Fundamental Biology (1941) and expanded on the concept in Evolution, Creation, and S ...

Adam and Eve - Adam's creation. Adam is said, in the torah, to have been created from the dust of the earth, and in the Talmud (Tractate Sanhedrin 38b) is, more specifically, described as having initially been a golem (a bit like a zombie slave) kneaded together from mud. The important early Islamic commentator Tabari adds a number of details, based on claimed hadith as well as Jewish traditions (so-called isra'iliyyat). Tabari records that when it came time to create Adam, God sent Gabriel, then Michael, ...

Marsh first trained as a nurse at Hinsdale Sanitarium and Hospital. Later, whilst teaching at a Adventist school (Hinsdale Academy) in the Chicago area Marsh studied advanced biology at the University of Chicago and in 1935 obtained an M.S. in zoology from Northwestern University. In 1940 he completed a PhD in botany at the University of Nebraska, becoming the first Advenist to earn a doctoral degree in biology. In his book Fundamental Biology (self-published, 1941) Marsh described himself as a "fundamentalist scientst". He arg ...

If the global flood actually occurred, then it would have had a radical effect on geology, and evidence of that flood would be observable today, making the idea falsifiable. Mainstream scientists hold that the evidence available is sufficient to conclusively falsify the notion of a recent global flood. Eighty percent of the Earth's crust is covered by sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed as particles of sediment settle out of air, ice, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. As sediment deposition builds up, ove ...

Early Renaissance artists used the theme of Adam and Eve as a way to represent female and male nudes. Later, the nudity was objected to by more modest elements, and fig leaves were added to the older pictures and sculptures, covering their genitals. The choice of the fig was a result of Mediterranean traditions identifying the unnamed Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil as a fig tree, and since figs leaves were actually mentioned in Ge ...

The sharp distinction between history and myth is relatively recent. Traditionally, Christians, Jews, and Muslims, from Nennius to William Whiston, held that Adam and Eve were had really lived. Many gave credence to the works of James Ussher, who viewed them to have lived approximately 6,000 BCE, basing their calculations on the Genealogies of Genesis and Table of Nations. In modern times, with the advent of archaeological discoveries, the theory of evolution, and genetic science, the traditional view came to be challenged, and the ma ...

Adam—אָדָם in Standard Hebrew, ʾĀḏām in Tiberian Hebrew, آدم (ʾĀdam) in Arabic, አዳም ('Adam) in Geez (Ethiopic), and Adamus in Latin — translates literally as red earth. In the ancient cultures of the fertile crescent, people were thought to have been created from the earth itself, and so the term red earth was used to refer to mankind generally. Indeed Adam, in the Kazakh language means human, and Adamshylyk is mankind, and in most other Turkic lang ...
