Who started the creation theory?

Answer 1

Try God the Creator, and it's not just a theory. If you mean where did it originate in the very beginning, the above answer is absolutely correct. If you mean the modern creation movement the answer is a little more complex. Many people have continued to believe in creation, despite the seeming triumph of evolutionary science among the scientific establishment. Many of the founders of modern science believed in the creator including Isaac newton, Copernicus, Keppler and Galileo among them. These and many others like them down to this present day, saw no conflict between creation and true science, as indeed there isn't.

As far as the modern creation movement goes you would look at people such as Dr.John Whitcomb and the late Dr Henry Morris who co-authored "The Genesis Flood" in 1961 as being among the most important founders of the modern movement. Of course the evidence has always been the same and so the 'creation theory' is only putting forward the abundant evidence which already exists and interpret the data from a different perspective from those who believe in evolution.

Answer 2

Belief in Creation is not a theory. It is a worldwide tradition going back for thousands of years. It states that God created the universe. This teaches us that God exists, that our lives and the world are not random, and that the created things may be assumed to contain vast wisdom in their beautiful and purposeful design. (In recent decades, this wisdom has indeed been partially revealed, through increasingly powerful microscopes.)Evolution through random mutations, on the other hand, may be understood as implying that life is an accident, that perceived beauty and wisdom are ultimately purposeless, and that our instinctive yearning for the Eternal is just an electrical impulse in our brain.

Answer 3

Belief in Creation is not a theory in the scientific sense, but a faith-based hypothesis. The Book of Genesis provides one example (well, two actually) of a faith-based creation hypothesis, written anonymously early in the first millennium BCE. Philo of Alexandria appears to have been the first to attribute the Book of Genesis to Moses.

Answer 4

The creation theory has roots in various religious and philosophical beliefs throughout history, with no single individual credited with starting it. Creationism is often associated with religious texts like The Bible, which describes a divine being creating the world. Scientific theories such as the Big Bang theory provide an alternative explanation for the origin of the universe.
