The first two say "gee - it's so complicated somebody must have planed it" along with the extra ego trip that says that we're pretty special.
Evolution says that one single rule can generate complexity from simplicity.
(The rule is let the weak weed themselves out - we call it death.) Forget the God argument ... He could have invented evolution too. In fact, it would take a superior sort of entity to do do so.
Creationism and Intelligent Design are religious notions, while evolution is evidence-based and therefore a fact.
Most forms of creationism reject evolution as false, although some 'Old-earth' creationists accept the fact of evolution, but say that God guided the process. Intelligent Design is a developed form of creationism intended to circumvent United States court rulings that creationism, as a religious notion, can not be taught as science in public schools.

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.)
Most certainly not side-by-side. That would imply that they are equivalent notions. Evolution, however, is a scientific theory, and creationism is religious myth. Evolution belongs in biology classes, creationism in something like comparative religion courses.
No, evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is fact, The theory of evolution by natural selection, which explains much about evolution, is well supported by myriad lines of converging evidence, is internally consistent, explains the natural phenomenon it should and makes testable predictions. All science. On the other hand, creationism and intelligent design are both pseudoscience. Go here for the truth, talkorigins.org
Of course someone could.
No Answer 2 No. Creationism is faith, based on the Creation-story of Genesis and praises the biblical god as creator of all the Universe, all Earth and all life (in 6 days). Evolution is a theory of science (biology). The Theory of Evolution by Means of Natural Selection, first proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace. Evolution is part of natural science and explains the histories and diversifications of all of Earth's organisms. Evolution does not have to do with the origin of the Universe or the Planet Earth, which creationism may mention in its origins-explanations. (The origins of the Universe and the Solar System and Earth are explained by another branch of natural science - Cosmology and Astronomy). The Theory of Evolution states that life has changed since its beginnings (abiogenesis) by Natural Selection. The main unit of Evolution is the gene. Populations genetically diverge until they are so separate they are distinguishable and may become reproductively isolated. This is an instance of speciation, the origin of species. Evolution relies upon observation of the world to explain the world (genetics, palaeontology, comparative morphology are all used as evidence to construct the picture of evolution). Creationism relies on the writings of biblical texts to explain the world. There is no material evidence to support the claims of creationism as creationism is faith based. Indeed there are many contrasts between Evolution and Creationism. They both explain the same thing (life and how it came to be as it is today), but Evolution is logical and fact-collecting, a real process seen in the world today and (via fossils) in the distant past whereas Creationism is a comforting faith-based story with no backing evidence of events described in the creation story of Genesis.
similarities
There are none. Both agree that life forms exist, but are diametrically opposed as to how it got here.
For the most part, yes, but there are some key differences. Intelligent Design (ID) does not mention who is the creator or deity. Creationism is based strictly on the Bible teachings in the book of Genesis. Either way, they both believe that humans are too complex to have been designed by evolution or natural selection.

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.

All three teachings purport to have some bearing on the origination of man - but that's about the extent of the similarities. Evolutionary theory is the scientific model that explains how all modern species diverged from common ancestors. Creationism is the school of thought that teaches that (some interpretation of) holy scripture is literally true, and that mankind was created by God or gods, specially and separate from all other lifeforms. Intelligent design in its most general form does not reject evolutionary theory, but states that a guiding intelligence must have been involved in the divergence of lifeforms as they approached modernity. It may be seen as an attempt by religiously-minded people to reconcile their theistic beliefs with scientific findings, but it may also be seen as an attempt by creationists to insert their religious beliefs into science. It has been said that intelligent design is actually a form of creationism in disguise, and a response to the outlawing of the teaching of creationism in public schools. Some proponents of intelligent design (seemingly) accept the notion of common descent, while others outright reject it, reducing their intepretation of intelligent design to a more fundamental form of creationism. The basic teachings of intelligent design vary, depending on the person you ask, or the time and context in which you ask.

she says that its nessesary to know about creationism along with evolution
Every argument against evolution falls into several categories. 1.) It could disprove something if it were true, but that something would not be evolution. 2.) There are no arguments for Intelligent design, all they have are arguments against evolution (and sometime plate tectonics, cosmology, mathematics's, or oceanography). 3.) Every single argument made against evolution or any other natural science in defence of intelligent design (also known as creationism as determined by a conservative Christian judge) has been used as an argument against intelligent design and backing up the science that the creationists are trying to ignore. Summary: Take any creationist claim, summarize it, and take the reverse of that and you get the scientific arguments against intelligent design and for evolution.
