How might believing that the Jewish or Christian story of the creation of the world is literally true affect a person's attitude to the world?
First, and most obviously, it means believing that the world as we know it is only about six thousand years old. More importantly, it would mean disputing the evidence that science has put forward for the origin and evolution of the world. Disputing scientific evidence would probably rule out some career paths, since it would be difficult to assimulate and really understand science if you do not understand the context of that science. And disputing widely accepted scientific theories would probably make one very defensive about one's core beliefs. It could lead to acceptance of irrational or illogical alternative hypotheses that seek to harmonise our understanding of the world with the creation accounts.

Is Christianity pantheistic?
Christianity is not considered pantheistic; rather, it is monotheistic, believing in one personal God who is distinct from His creation. While some interpretations of Christianity emphasize God's omnipresence and immanence, which might seem similar to pantheistic views, the core tenet remains that God is separate from the universe. Pantheism equates God with the universe itself, which contrasts with the Christian belief in a transcendent God who interacts with creation.
