Creationism. Day-age creationism. Day-age creationism, a type of old Earth creationism, is an interpretation of the creation accounts in Genesis.
It holds that the six days referred to in the Genesis account of creation are not ordinary 24-hour days, but are much longer periods (of thousands or millions of years). The Genesis account is then reconciled with the age of the Earth. Proponents of the day-age theory can be found among both theistic evolutionists, who accept the scientific consensus on evolution, and progressive creationists, who reject it.
The theories are said to be built on the understanding that the Hebrew word yom is used to refer to a time period, with a beginning and an end and not necessarily that of a 24-hour day. The differences between the young Earth interpretation of Genesis and modern scientific theories such as Big Bang, abiogenesis, and common descent are significant.

About the museum. Answers in Genesis - Creation, Evolution, Christian Apologetics. Discovery Institute. Kreationismus. Spielarten des Kreationismus Kreationisten lehnen die Kosmologie (Urknall-Theorie), den Darwinismus und die Evolutionstheorie ab, denn sie sind überzeugt, dass das Leben auf der Erde nicht zufällig, sondern durch einen Schöpfungsakt entstand ("Creation Science"; Kreationsimus, von lateinisch creare = erschaffen).
Während man in der Evolutionstheorie davon ausgeht, dass sich das Leben unaufhörlich verändert, nehmen die Fundamentalisten unter den Kreationisten die Bibel wörtlich und glauben, Gott habe die Erde und das Leben darauf in sechs aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen in endgültiger Form erschaffen (Genesis). Dem am sechsten Tag aus Lehm und göttlichem Odem erschaffenen Menschen (Adam) komme als Ebenbild Gottes eine Sonderstellung an der Spitze der Schöpfung zu ("Krone der Schöpfung").
In der Evolutionstheorie dagegen gilt der Mensch nicht als Abschluss, sondern als Zwischenstufe der Entwicklung. Kreationismus in den USA - Franziska Gerhardt. Geschichte des Kreationismus in den USA. History of creationism. The history of creationism relates to the history of thought based on the premise that the natural universe had a beginning, and came into being supernaturally.
The term creationism in its broad sense covers a wide range of views and interpretations, and was not in common use before the late 19th century. Throughout recorded history, many people have viewed the universe as a created entity. Many ancient historical accounts from around the world refer to or imply a creation of the earth and universe. Although specific historical understandings of creationism have used varying degrees of empirical, spiritual and/or philosophical investigations, they are all based on the view that the universe was created.
The most influential force on the history of creationism has been the Genesis creation narrative[citation needed], which was accepted as a historical account until the advent of modern science[by whom?].

First published Sat Aug 30, 2003; substantive revision Mon Oct 29, 2007 At a broad level, a Creationist is someone who believes in a god who is absolute creator of heaven and earth, out of nothing, by an act of free will.
Such a deity is generally thought to be constantly involved (‘immanent’) in the creation, ready to intervene as necessary, and without whose constant concern the creation would cease or disappear. Christians, Jews, and Muslims are all Creationists in this sense. Generally they are known as ‘theists,’ distinguishing them from ‘deists,’ that is people who believe that there is a designer who might or might not have created the material on which he (or she or it) is working and who does not interfere once the designing act is finishing.
15 Answers to Creationist Nonsense. The Creation/Evolution Continuum. By Eugenie C.
Scott Many — if not most — Americans think of the creation and evolution controversy as a dichotomy with "creationists" on one side, and "evolutionists" on the other. This assumption all too often leads to the unfortunate conclusion that because creationists are believers in God, that evolutionists must be atheists. The true situation is much more complicated: creationism comes in many forms, and not all of them reject evolution. It is highly desirable to move people away from this inaccurate dichotomy. What is critical, however, is that any teacher using this exercise in a public school be acutely aware that the purpose of the lesson is to illustrate to students the factual error of the dichotomy they (probably) came to class with. With this caveat in mind, then, teachers are encouraged to use the continuum exercise to educate students away from an erroneous dichotomous view of the relationship of creationism to evolution.
