Creationism is the belief that a deity (normally promoted as the JudaeoChristian god) created the universe and all of its contents within a short time period, quite recently.

The specific relation this has to evolution is that all species were created as they currently exist, without any modification or development along the way.

Evolution is defined as a change in the alleleic frequency of a population over time, and the associated changes in phenotype displayed. It is explained by several mechanisms, such as natural selection. This is compared with the theory of evolution, a scientific theory encompassing the explanations and evidence for evolution as defined above.

In the end, people will believe what they choose to believe. I believe that the average creationist actually knows little about the study of evolution. I believe that creationists are missing an enormous part of God's plan. A shame.

How does evolution involve creationism?

Evolution does NOT involve creationism.Evolution is a testable and therefore provable explanation as to how the diversity of life on earth has happened.Creationism is a religious viewpoint and therefore a mater of faith.AnswerI agree with the above. Evolution does NOT involve Creationism. Evolution is a branch of biological science and thus rejects "supernatural" claims such as those of Creationism, does not need to consider them. Creationism, often hanging on Genesis, the first book of the Bible, predates scientific inquiry and the scientific method and so is thus rejected by science and thus evolutionary science. In the public spotlight, the so-called Evolution-Creation "controversy" and all the on-stage arguments and debates might make it seem as though Evolution and Creationism (and Intelligent Design) have a lot to do with one another, but I doubt Creationism gets much mention at all in scientific laboratories and scientific conferences (it can't because it hasn't got anything to say about the real world.)


What are the two kinds of Creationism?

The two main kinds of Creationism are young Earth Creationism, which believes in a literal interpretation of the Bible and asserts that the Earth is only a few thousand years old, and old Earth Creationism, which accepts scientific evidence for the age of the Earth but still believes in a divine creator.


What are facts that prove that both creationism and evolution are both right?

Creationism is religious dogma. Nothing proves its correctness. As any scientist with a dictionary would tell you, nothing proves evolution either. But there is a heck of a lot of evidence and testing that suggests it is about as right as we can get.


Do you think that Evolution and Creationism should be taught in school?

Evolution is a widely accepted scientific theory supported by extensive evidence, and should be taught in science classes. Creationism, however, is based on religious beliefs and is not supported by scientific evidence, so it is not appropriate to be taught in a science classroom. It may be more suitable for discussion in courses on religion or philosophy.


Should public schools teach creationism alongside evolution in science classes?

No. Teaching creationism alongside evolutionary theory would suggest that they are equivalent explanations. They are not. Evolutionary theory is a well-established scientific model; creationism is a religious myth, and should be taught as such.
