It is hard to say that creationists are right when they can not even agree on what they believe. Just two groupings of creationists shows the problem.

"Young Earth Creationists" believe that The Bible must be read just as they interpret. Some Young Earth Creationists believe that this means the Earth is literally around 6,000 years old. Others are willing to stretch the meaning of 'day' and concede that the Earth may be much older, but still younger than the scientific evidence shows.

"Old Earth Creationists" accept the scientific evidence for the great age of the Earth, but believe that (i) God created life just as we now see it; or (ii) that evolution occurred, guided by God.

What do creationists believe on the origin of humans?

Creationists believe that humans were created by a supernatural being, typically a deity such as God, as described in religious texts like the Bible. They reject the scientific theory of evolution and instead adhere to the belief that humans were directly created in their present form.


Why are creationists upset with Darwin's theory?

His theory doesn't fit with their ideas. They usually use the Bible to answer questions that science already has or is working on. These are questions that are not scientific questions but ones that are best debated and answered by philosophy.


Why do some believe creationists are so dumb?

Perceptions of intelligence are subjective and influenced by personal beliefs and biases. Some may view creationists as "dumb" because they disagree with scientific evidence and principles. It is important to approach differing beliefs with respect and understanding.


Which famous 1925 trial pitted creationists against evolutionists?

The famous 1925 trial that pitted creationists against evolutionists was the Scopes "Monkey" Trial, officially known as the State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes. John Scopes, a high school science teacher, was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act by teaching evolution in a public school.


Is there or will there be yet to be found evidence to convince the creationist about evolution?

They have the evidence yet they will never be convinced while under the influence of a ideology that lies to them. To them evolution is not only false it is evil and their view of evolution is so skewed by this ideological nonsense that there is little hope for this generation of creationists, though we may save some of their children. Most religions made peace with evolution a long time ago, but creationists, being literalistic, must have every word of the bible be true as if one thing is not true then all is not true. Dichotomous thinking such as this is the mark if the unintelligent and uneducated.

How many types of Creationists are there?

Creationists can be styled as "Young Earth" Creationists and "Old Earth Creationists".Young Earth Creationists believe that the world is literally only about 6,000 years old, based on a literal reading of the biblical Book of Genesis. They believe that species have not evolved, but were created much as we know them today.Old Earth Creationists accept the scientific evidence that the world is immensely old, but say that evolution, if it occurred at all, was guided by "Intelligent Design".Another way of categorising some Creationists is as either Cosmic Creationists, who see intelligent design because the laws of the universe are exactly what suits the evolution of human life, or Biological Creationists, who say that the universe is so uncongenial to life that life could not have evolved naturally.For more information on creationism and other views on our origin, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

How should Creationists respond to a growing hatred for Christians-Creationists on YouTube and yahoo and all that goes on in these places?

We can not do much about what is being said on other sites. Hopefully, if offensive remarks are being made there, the supervisors of those sites will take the time to correct this. Perhaps the answer is to have a look around WikiAnswers. You will find that creationists are warmly accepted here, and we try to give fair and objective answers to questions. Some Contributors will disagree with the creationist view, as is their right, but they will try to do so in an informative way without giving offence.

What might creationists believe?

Creationists typically believe that the universe, Earth, and all living things were created by a supreme being, often the God of the Christian Bible, as described in Genesis. They may reject the theory of evolution and instead believe that the diversity of life on Earth can be explained by special creation events. Creationists often interpret scientific evidence, such as the fossil record, in ways that support their beliefs about the origins of life.
