There are no similarities.

Creationists compare the big bang theory to the genesis creation account because they assume that it's the secular "explaination for everything". It isn't.

It's the explaination for the expanding universe. The universe is expanding from a single point, therefore it had to have started there, qed, there was a rapid expansion of time-space 14 or so billion years ago, as measured/calculated by astrophysicists.

When was creationism done?

When Charles Hodge wrote "What is Darwinism?" in 1874 and argued that evolution can not explain the complexities of the eye is when creationism was first used as a tool against evolution. Before that, Thomas Aquinas and later William Paley used the design argument to 'prove' God's existence, as a small group in the United States are doing today, and the story of Creation was believed to be literally true by all Christian sects. However, it was not called 'Creationism' as there was no opposing theory at the time.


What evidence did Alfred wegener have to support his theory?

Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift was supported by several lines of evidence, including the matching coastlines of different continents, similarities in rock formations and mountain ranges across continents, and the distribution of fossils of similar species on different continents. He also observed the fit of the continents like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle and the presence of ancient glacial deposits in regions that are now at different latitudes.


What evidence did Abraham ortelius have to prove his theory?

Abraham Ortelius, a 16th-century cartographer, provided evidence for his theory of continental drift primarily through the observation of the jigsaw-like shapes of the continents, particularly how the coastlines of South America and Africa fit together. He also noted similarities in the geological features and fossil records across different continents, which suggested they had once been connected. His work, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," compiled maps that illustrated these connections, laying the groundwork for later theories of plate tectonics. However, it's important to note that Ortelius's ideas were not widely accepted until much later, as the mechanisms behind continental movement were not understood in his time.


Which theory best explains the Moon's origin?

The most widely accepted theory for the Moon's origin is the Giant Impact Hypothesis. This theory suggests that a Mars-sized object collided with a young Earth, ejecting debris that eventually coalesced to form the Moon. This theory is supported by similarities in isotopic compositions between Earth and the Moon.


What is the current theory on how the universe started?

The current prevailing theory is the Big Bang theory, which posits that the universe began as a singularity around 13.8 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. This theory is supported by various lines of evidence, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the observed expansion of the universe.

Why creationism shouldn't be taught in school?

Is creationism a myth or a theory?

Creationism is a belief system that asserts that the universe and living beings originate from specific acts of divine creation.

Should public schools teach creationism alongside evolution in science classes?

No. Teaching creationism alongside evolutionary theory would suggest that they are equivalent explanations. They are not. Evolutionary theory is a well-established scientific model; creationism is a religious myth, and should be taught as such.


What provoked opposition to Darwin's natural selection theory?

Aside from some genuine scientific concern about the mechanism of heritability and the role of genes at about 1900, the greatest opposition to the theory has been religious ideology and social science/humanities misunderstandings about the theory. Google creationism. Google secular creationism. Google the modern synthesis.


What are similarities between Darwin's theory and Lamarck's theory of evolution?
