Evolution is and has been accepted science for decades. Creationism is a fairly new approach to an old claim.

This leads to conflict for several reasons.

  • The first and primary one is that each contradicts the other, as a matter of definition. Evolution implies an old earth, and that species developed from simpler other species on their own through natural selection; creationism is varyingly the position that a deity created all of existence a short time ago.

  • The second cause is what should be taught where; if evolution is science and creationism is not (the view currenlty held by scientific and legal communities) then only evolution and not creationism should be taught as science. Accordingly, creationism should be presented in religious classes, as it is based on religious belief.

  • The third is that some groups see evolution - amongst other science - to be a root cause of failing morality in modern society. The reasoning is that if science, and the assumed accompanying atheist thought, is given a religious spin, this fall in morality can be arrested and reversed. Naturally, the religious spin must be Christianity in some areas and Islam in others (these being the only religions with dominance in countries).
