Creationism is a doctrine or theory holding that matter, the various forms of life, and the world
were created by God out of nothing and usually in the way described in Genesis. One prominent
characteristic of Creationism is the time or expansion of time that this theory relates to.
Creationism has many different meanings as one theory is that the universe was created
by God then left alone. Another being a deity that has been actively been in life since
the beginning of time. Then there is time and how old the Earth is. Many believe that
the Earth is millions of years old while less believe that it may only be a couple
thousand years old. Critics even argue over whether or not this is a part of science or
religion. The main enemy of

They ask evolutionists, “how could have an event like this be created by the Earth
itself”? But evolutionists often reply with another question right on top of it.
Often the reason there are many tensions about a thought or idea it is because of the
interpretation of the statement. Flat Earthers believe that the Earth is flat or at least
thought this before there were pictures of our planet. But the reason they believed this
was because of their interpretation of the Bible when it referenced to the four corners
of the Earth and the circle of Earth. The reason interpretation is a prominent
characteristic of creationism is because it is very easy to change a slight thought in
your mind and become a part of geocentricism or a flat earther. Young Earth Christians
rely on the most direct and clear interpretation in the Bible. They are always using
Biblical textual evidence to back up claims rather than scientific evidence. Moreover,
Old Creationism is one of the most complex types of Creationism because they believe
that special creationism accepts the existence of an “old earth,” such that an ancient
earth is accepted, but not evolution itself. This requires rejecting a completely
An ancient Earth supports Darwin's theory while a younger Earth supports the religious version of creation. At the time of Charles Darwin, Bishop Ussher of the 17th century and most people believed the Earth to be 6,000 years old. (http://www.csicop.org/sb/show/darwinism_and_the_age_of_earth/).
In the book, Inventing the Flat Earth, it says that there were Europeans in Columbus´ time that actually did believe that the earth was not
The Nye/Ham second debate relates to the previous discussion in class about Creationism because of the beliefs discussed in the power point that relate closely to Ken Ham’s views in the debate. Creationism is a belief under the religion of Christianity that humans, animals and earth were created by God. Christians get this evidence from the chapter of Genesis in the Bible. Ken Ham, a born again Christian, created a creationist museum shaped as Noah’ Ark for Christians/ Creationist all over the world to view realistic figures and facts covered by the Bible.
Overall, Creationism sounds like a children’s story while Evolution is very detailed, informative, and educational. Creationism confuses students and lures them away from their educational thinking process. In many circumstances, Creationism has refuted scientific theories and has unraveled the lot that science, in most schools has taught us about human derivation. Evolution and Creation are two of the most common theories of human origin, although numerous religious people believe in Creation, the bible’s timeline does not match up
Although imagining a boat full of people falling off the edge of the earth along a never ending waterfall of ocean water into the very depths of the universe is rather amusing, few people have thought that way since about sixty B.C. Beginning in elementary school, the idea that Christopher columbus was ahead of his time in believing that the world was round is a fact that is taught and widely believed throughout society. As a result, an eye catching title claiming that when the New World was discovered few people believed this now commonly accepted myth causes everything once held a surefire fact to be questioned. The article makes it sound as though historians have known for many years that nobody thought the world was flat since Pythagoras,
The Bible supports the idea that the earth is young. Creation week, according the records, happened around 6,000 years ago. Scientific data affirms the Scripture’s testimony in this matter, as we shall see shortly. If the universe were millions of years old the following things would be true. The moon is receding away from us currently.
It may be common knowledge to know that Creationism was a principle theory in the realm of science during this time period. Creationism was taught in our schools and institutions, but during this age that mentality took a pivotal shift. Creationism, which is believe in a supernatural creator came under threat by rising, new theories. Theories such as Darwinism began there moment of birth during this time period. It would be by the writing’s of Charles Darwin that society would come to know of Darwinism.
This was the case all the way up until the Renaissance period in the 15th century. Even then, there were a few hold outs that still believed the Earth was flat, like China. Even they soon subscribed to the round Earth theory, and it looked like the flat Earth theory was about to become a false theory. This wasn’t the case. In the early years of the 21st century, a group called the Flat Earth Society was created by members that completely believed that the Earth was, indeed,
The short documentary, Evolution’s Achilles Heel many talked from a creationist point of view in which they mainly disprove the evolutionists ideas of how the world came to be. Evolution the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth. Evolution is also called Darwinism, because it was thought up by, Charles Darwin. Evolution is caused by mutations in the genes, which allows new species to be formed. But creationist don’t believe that.
This theory has gained significant popularity and is believed by many people despite the overwhelming scientific evidence that supports the idea that the earth is a globe.
They believe that Earth is a large hanging disc of water suspended by four cords and has a large island in the center. These four cords are north, east, south, and west which
Millions of people in the United States of America today truly believe that Christopher Columbus changed the world through his epic journey to the America’s that proved to the Old-World inhabitants that the world was not flat. However, contrary to popular belief Columbus did not become the first person to discover the Earth was not flat. Thus, many historians were trying to figure out how this misconstrued notion became so commonplace in popular culture across America. Eventually, Mano Singham discovers where he believes the myth came from and wrote it in Columbus and the Flat Earth Myth. Singham argues the myth emerges from biased American writings that portray Columbus in a greater light than he was and the unlikely evolution debate which
Scientists across various fields of studies with excellent academic achievements voice their unwavering belief in the theory of creation, and they depict multiple experiments and studies to solidify the validity of creationism. Evolution versus creationism is a battle that began long before today’s modern trials and protests, yet the same basic principles still exist. Creationism is as scientific as evolution, and evolution is as faith-based as
Nicalea Greenlee Astronomy, 7 December 15, 2017 Science vs. Religion Science and religion has always been an argument for years. I think science and religion are both very important to the way of life and how we see the entire universe. But I believe religion is more believable than science.

Creation is something people have different opinions about worldwide, this is a topic that has many different theories. There have been many different ideas that people have thought of in order to try to get people to think that it wasn’t God who created the earth. Almost always the new story got its ideas, based off the story of God’s creation of earth. Some of these crazy theories even try to show that humans were originally monkeys, before they were humans. God spent a lot of time and thought when he was creating the earth, and for people to deny it and not give God any thought is very sad.
