In creationism, special creation is a theological doctrine which states that the universe and all life in it originated in its present form by unconditional Fiat or divine decree.

Charles Darwin theory of evolution explicitly rejected the dogma of special creation?

Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection did not explicitly reject the theory of special creation. It implicitly rejected it. Darwin did not directly attack or reject special creation in his book "The Origin of Species," where he first outlined his theory. Instead, by claiming that all life evolved from simple organisms, through natural process, in response to their environment, he advanced a theory that explained how plant and animal life without divine intervention. Because special creation explicitly cites divine intervention as the mechanism for the development of plant and animal life, Darwin's theory undermined its central premise.


What is a difference between the theory of organic evolution and that of special creation?

The theory of organic evolution posits that species change over time through the process of natural selection, while special creation holds that species were individually created by a divine being and do not change over time. Evolution is supported by extensive scientific evidence, while special creation is a belief based on religious or philosophical perspectives.

What was the dogma of special creation?

In the Western world, Special Creation was the dominant theory of the origin of the world and life in it from the sixteenth century until the nineteenth century when it was supplanted by scientific theories, particularly the Theory of Evolution.Special Creation was given special impetus in the 1880s in an attempted response to the Theory of Evolution. Some Creationists asserted that the the universe and all life in it were created by God in a very short space of time, a few thousand years ago, just as they believed that Genesis describes creation. They say that Genesis is an accurate historical account of creation of the universe over the course of six twenty-four hour days.The Roman Catholic Church sees "special creation" somewhat differently. The Pontifical Biblical Commission issued a decree ratified by Pope Pius X on June 30, 1909 that "special creation" only applied to man, not to the other species. In 2004, the International Theological Commission, under the presidency of Cardinal Ratzinger, published a paper in which it accepted the scientific explanation of the history of the universe, commencing in the Big Bang about 15 billion years ago, and the evolution of all life on earth, including humans, from the micro organisms commencing about 4 billion years ago. In modern Catholic teaching, the doctrine of "special creation" refers only to the origin of the human soul.
