Do creationists believe that our world is the result of millions of years of adaptation?

Answer 1

Some creationists do. Old-Earth creationists accept the scientific evidence for the age of the earth. A variation on this is theistic evolution, a view acceptable to some of the major Christian denominations, which holds that God guided the evolutionary process that scientists observe in the fossil record.

Young-earth creationists, on the other hand, insist that the earth is only six to eight thousand years old and that any adaptation that has taken place is only minor.

Different forms of creationism arose either from attempts to harmonise the biblical creation account with what scientists say actually happened, or to improve the biblical account, thereby hopefully bolstering its credibility to a more informed generation.

Some people believe in God-guided evolution. Others see no need for contortionism or compromise, based on evidence for young-Earth Creation. Those wishing to study the evidence may find these links useful:
