Jehovah's Witnesses believe in creation as outlined in the bible.
They do not believe in evolution and believe the earth and its lifeforms were created in six ''creative'' days of 7000 solar years each. (Not six 24 hour days). They believe that the universe and the earth itself would have been created millions or even billions of of years ago. But the actual creating of the earth as a habitable planet would have started 48,000 years ago.
Also 4380 years ago they believe that all life would have had to spread around the earth again after Noah's Flood in the year 2370BC.
'Atheists' are a general grouping, not a specific one.Many have no opinion on the subject, and allow expert opinions to weigh the matter on their behalf.Some refuse the admission of creationism in public education as science (although private education may do what it pleases) because it is inherently unscientific and in many places, illegal to do so. Evolution is accepted because of its scientific support.Others make acceptance for creationism taught in religious classes, which is fair enough.
Creationism is usually associated with a belief that the world was created only a few thousand years ago, much as it is today, and that evolution played no part. This belief is not universally held by all Christians.Many Christians, while believing that God created the universe at some stage in the past, do accept that the world is billions of years old and that evolution resulted in the development of all living things. Even the Catholic Church has moved towards this position:Pope Pius XII stated in his encyclical Humani Generis (1950) that there was no opposition between evolution and the doctrine of the faith and that he considered the doctrine of "evolutionism" a serious hypothesis, worthy of investigation and in-depth study equal to that of the opposing hypothesis;Pope John Paul II, in an address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (1996), said that new knowledge has led to the recognition of the theory of evolution as more than a hypothesis;Pope Benedict has refused to endorse "intelligent design" theories, instead backing "theistic evolution" which considers that God created life through evolution with no clash between religion and science.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Yes, Muslims believe in creationism, but their beliefs are shaped by the teachings of the Quran. Muslims believe that Allah (God) created the universe and all living beings, including humans, with a purpose. The creation story in Islam is detailed in the Quran and emphasizes the power and wisdom of Allah as the ultimate Creator.
According to the Bible, God always was. Which means he never had a beginning, OR an end, he just was. If you believe in God, you dont believe in evolution. We believe in adaptation, but not evolution. And if you believe in evolution, you dont generally believe in Jesus. Therefore, i believe that God came first.ANSWER:The answer can vary depending on exactly how you are using the terms "Jesus" and "evolution".If by "Jesus" you mean the Son of God then, since He is eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit, Jesus came first.If by Jesus you mean the man Jesus of Nazareth whom the Son became and by evolution you mean the process by which life developed, then evolution came first.If you mean Jesus the man and evolution the theory developed by Charles Darwin then, since Jesus lived over eighteen hundred years before Darwin, Jesus came first.
The Roman Catholic Church acknowledges Darwin's theory of Evolution by Natural Selection as the likeliest mechanism for the origins of the diversity of life on earth.Creationism is a purely Protestant phenomenon: Catholics don't have it, Muslims don't have it, Hindus don't have it, nor Buddhists,A different OpinionCreationism is a purely Protestant phenomenon, which is found in some. more fundamental, protestant denominations, especially in the "Bible Belt" of the USA. Roman Catholics don't have it, Muslims don't have it, Hindus don't have it, nor Buddhists, and most Protestants, especially Lutherans, Anglicans, Episcopalians, Methodists and many other denominations. While there are exceptions, they regard evolution as the likeliest mechanism, producing life over millions of years, although they generally believe that God was the creator of everything, and is still working through creation - through the means of science and evolution. ---------------------------------------------- A CHRISTIAN OPINION As a Christian, I read the Bible, and Genesis discusses creation, not evolution. I do believe in the evolution of a species (ex: the horse was originally eohippus) but I do not believe that we can evolve from one species to another. I consider myself a non-denomination Christian as the focus should be on Christ and God's Word, not on human interpretations, however I was raised in a Baptist church. I'm sure there are some who believe in evolution, but a Christian (which includes Protestant and Catholic) or Jew (Genesis is in the old testament) who studies and believes in God's word will acknowledge creation. All of the details are not listed in the Bible, but it is clear that God created humans from His own hand. As to Hindus, Muslims, and Buddhists, they do not follow the Bible, so it is not unusual that they would believe differently. As a sidenote, many intellects, Christian and non-Christian are now embracing the idea of intelligent design due to advances in scientific research which make it harder to keep believing in the theory of evolution. Refer to The Design Revolution by William A. Dembski.
she says that its nessesary to know about creationism along with evolution
Yes; Jehovah is the name of their God.
Buddhist believe there are no gods. Evolution would be the logical belief they would follow.
Atheists generally do not believe in creationism as it involves the idea of a supernatural deity creating the universe and life. Most atheists adhere to scientific explanations like evolution for the origins of life and the universe.
actually they dont believe in the son or the spirit to be all one. so it would have to be something other than that.
Fifteen per cent of the British population are said to believe in creationism. Elsewhere in Europe the proportions who believe in creationism vary between around ten per cent and twenty per cent, with countries that have a high Muslim population more likely to have a higher proportion who do not believe in evolution.
Yes...I suppose there are many contradictions. On of the biggest one is Evolution vs. Creationism. Science believes in the Theory of Evolution which is saying that all complex organisms developed from simpler organism. Most religions, believe in Creationism, which is that God designed and created everything.
religion( judaism, christianity, islam, rastafarnarism, jehovahs witness) mythology, biblical aprocryphia and some religious groups believe it to be fact.
A controversal question indeed. There are multiple answers out there, depending on what you believe in. Creationism and evolution theory are possibly the two most famous ones.
I believe her mother was one of Jehovah's witneses but to the best of my knowledge Ms Smith is not, nor has she ever been one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
he believes man evolved from monkeys, the opposite ie a creationism view is when you believe god created humans and we haven't evolved from a creature
yes they do
