Typically, Christians do not oppose evolutionary theory. Many Christians are able to combine acceptance of scientific theories with a belief in the unique and divinely determined purpose of Mankind.

There is however a subset of Christianity, and of other religions as well, adhering to the notion of creationism. Creationism holds that Mankind is not just special, but was specially created, in its current form, separate from all other lifeforms. This belief is largely based on a literal interpretation of the relevant scriptures on which their doctrine is based. These creationists oppose evolutionary theory because itcontradicts that notion of special creation.
