Is creationism a myth

Creationism comes in two significantly different varieties. Traditional creationism, often known as ‘Young-earth Creationism’ holds that the world was created in just six days, and only a few thousand years ago. Old-earth Creationists accept that science has proven its case, that the world is over four billion years old. They seek to harmonise this with The Bible by looking for innovative ways of interpreting the Book of Genesis, to allow both science and the Bible to be seen as true.

Many people now believe the biblical account of creation to be a myth, but 'creationism' is more than a myth. Whether we look at Young-earth Creationism or Old-earth Creationism, it is a quite modern set of beliefs designed to support belief in God as the ultimate creator of the world.
