What is the difference of a creationist and evolutionist?

As a general meaning, the term Creationist refers to a person, usually a Cristian, who believes God created the world. In most cases it refers to a Young- Earth creationist. These people believe that God created the world as described in the Bible, with all living things created as they are today. Most of these creationists belive that the world is about 6,000 years old, based on a very literal interpretation of the Bible. Some have different opinions, though, claiming the world is as much as a few hundred thousand years old. Evolutionists belive that life changes over the course of generations, with new species emerging gradually as mutations and differing survival rates alter the gene pool. Unlike creationists, evolutionists believe the world to be between 4.5 and 4.6 billion years old based on isotope dating.


How can evolution and creationists theories work together?

Evolution and creationist theories can coexist if one views the creation story as a metaphorical or symbolic explanation of the origins of life, while accepting the scientific evidence supporting evolutionary theory as the mechanism through which life has developed and diversified over time. This perspective allows for a reconciliation between faith-based beliefs and scientific understanding of the natural world.


What did James Ussher believe about evolution?

He didn't believe anything about it. Ussher was an archbishop of the Church of Ireland, living at a time when nothing was known about evolution. He was a classic Young Earth creationist; he's even known for calculating the date of creation based on scripture, but had he known about evolution and the evidence for common descent, there's no telling how he would have reacted.

Were did art originate?

Depends on what you believe. If you are a creationist, it probably started with the beginning of man (i.e. Adam and Eve) but if you are pretty much everyone else, it started with cave paintings by the cavemen. Started as a way to tell stories.
