72-510: In September 2014, the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning announced that Expo Science Park would be demolished in stages from November 2014 to August 2015. However, in recognition of their historic value, Hanbit Tower, the international conference room, and the simulation pavilion would be kept. In November 2014, the Shinsegae consortium won a bid to build the science complex within

144-778: A Christian fundamentalist literal interpretation of the creation myth found in the Bible 's Genesis creation narrative . Since the 1970s, the most common form of this has been Young Earth creationism which posits special creation of the universe and lifeforms within the last 10,000 years on the basis of flood geology , and promotes pseudoscientific creation science . From the 18th century onward, Old Earth creationism accepted geological time harmonized with Genesis through gap or day-age theory , while supporting anti-evolution . Modern old-Earth creationists support progressive creationism and continue to reject evolutionary explanations. Following political controversy , creation science

216-432: A continuum of religious views, which vary in their acceptance or rejection of scientific explanations such as evolution that describe the origin and development of natural phenomena. The term creationism most often refers to belief in special creation : the claim that the universe and lifeforms were created as they exist today by divine action, and that the only true explanations are those which are compatible with

288-466: A cult organization. People worry about the religious neutrality of public servants. A person in charge said "the business plan is just a document made by a member of the mission, and is not an official policy". Creationism Creationism is the religious belief that nature , and aspects such as the universe , Earth , life , and humans , originated with supernatural acts of divine creation . In its broadest sense, creationism includes

360-461: A mistake to think that creation happened in six days, or in any set amount of time. Augustine of the late fourth century who was also a former neoplatonist argued that everything in the universe was created by God at the same moment in time (and not in six days as a literal reading of the Book of Genesis would seem to require); It appears that both Philo and Augustine felt uncomfortable with the idea of

432-643: A popular compromise, and St. George Jackson Mivart was among those accepting evolution but attacking Darwin's naturalistic mechanism. Eventually it was realised that supernatural intervention could not be a scientific explanation, and naturalistic mechanisms such as neo-Lamarckism were favoured as being more compatible with purpose than natural selection. Some theists took the general view that, instead of faith being in opposition to biological evolution, some or all classical religious teachings about Christian God and creation are compatible with some or all of modern scientific theory, including specifically evolution; it

504-659: A series of court decisions ruling out the teaching of creationism in American public schools, and the Discovery Institute has run a series of campaigns to change school curricula. In Australia, where curricula are under the control of state governments rather than local school boards, there was a public outcry when the notion of ID being taught in science classes was raised by the Federal Education Minister Brendan Nelson ;

576-452: A seven-day creation because it detracted from the notion of God's omnipotence. In 1950, Pope Pius XII stated limited support for the idea in his encyclical Humani generis . In 1996, Pope John Paul II stated that "new knowledge has led to the recognition of the theory of evolution as more than a hypothesis," but, referring to previous papal writings, he concluded that "if the human body takes its origin from pre-existent living matter,

648-586: A spectrum ranging from extreme literal biblical creationism to materialist evolution, grouped under main headings. This was used in public presentations, then published in 1999 in Reports of the NCSE . Other versions of a taxonomy of creationists were produced, and comparisons made between the different groupings. In 2009 Scott produced a revised continuum taking account of these issues, emphasizing that intelligent design creationism overlaps other types, and each type

720-599: A type of old Earth creationism, is a metaphorical 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 (from thousands to billions 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

792-483: A universe on the order of thousands of years old, criticism of radiometric dating through a technical argument about radiohalos , explanations for the fossil record as a record of the Genesis flood narrative (see flood geology ), and explanations for the present diversity as a result of pre-designed genetic variability and partially due to the rapid degradation of the perfect genomes God placed in " created kinds " or " baramins " due to mutations . Neo-creationism

864-544: A young Earth, or in a dogmatically literal interpretation of the Bible . Intelligent design (ID) is the pseudoscientific view that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection." All of its leading proponents are associated with the Discovery Institute , a think tank whose wedge strategy aims to replace

936-562: Is a pseudoscientific movement which aims to restate creationism in terms more likely to be well received by the public, by policy makers, by educators and by the scientific community . It aims to re-frame the debate over the origins of life in non-religious terms and without appeals to scripture. This comes in response to the 1987 ruling by the United States Supreme Court in Edwards v. Aguillard that creationism

1008-489: Is a grouping of various beliefs and positions. The revised diagram is labelled to shows a spectrum relating to positions on the age of the Earth , and the part played by special creation as against evolution. This was published in the book Evolution Vs. Creationism: An Introduction , and the NCSE website rewritten on the basis of the book version. The main general types are listed below. Young Earth creationists such as Ken Ham and Doug Phillips believe that God created

1080-434: Is also known as "evolutionary creation." In Evolution versus Creationism , Eugenie Scott and Niles Eldredge state that it is in fact a type of evolution. It generally views evolution as a tool used by God, who is both the first cause and immanent sustainer/upholder of the universe; it is therefore well accepted by people of strong theistic (as opposed to deistic ) convictions. Theistic evolution can synthesize with

1152-735: Is an inherently religious concept and that advocating it as correct or accurate in public-school curricula violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. One of the principal claims of neo-creationism propounds that ostensibly objective orthodox science, with a foundation in naturalism , is actually a dogmatically atheistic religion . Its proponents argue that the scientific method excludes certain explanations of phenomena, particularly where they point towards supernatural elements, thus effectively excluding religious insight from contributing to understanding

1224-416: Is expected to contribute to the creation of about 410,000 jobs in these areas by the year 2017, including about 90,000 jobs in business start-ups. The ministry will help drive the so-called national informatization project, which seeks to introduce technology into a variety of areas including traditional markets, agriculture, and small- and medium-sized businesses. The ministry is responsible for awarding

1296-575: Is fair enough, most of the history of the Christianity there's been an awareness that a belief that everything depends on the creative act of God, is quite compatible with a degree of uncertainty or latitude about how precisely that unfolds in creative time." Leaders of the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches have made statements in favor of evolutionary theory, as have scholars such as the physicist John Polkinghorne , who argues that evolution

1368-475: Is highly correlated with fundamentalist thinking, unlike in Europe. Most contemporary Christian leaders and scholars from mainstream churches, such as Anglicans and Lutherans , consider that there is no conflict between the spiritual meaning of creation and the science of evolution. According to the former archbishop of Canterbury , Rowan Williams , "for most of the history of Christianity, and I think this

1440-545: Is not a matter of religious teaching, and must stand or fall on its own scientific merits. Evolution and the Roman Catholic Church are not in conflict. The Catechism of the Catholic Church comments positively on the theory of evolution, which is neither precluded nor required by the sources of faith, stating that scientific studies "have splendidly enriched our knowledge of the age and dimensions of

1512-457: Is not science and "cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents," and hence cannot be taught as an alternative to evolution in public school science classrooms under the jurisdiction of that court. This sets a persuasive precedent , based on previous US Supreme Court decisions in Edwards v. Aguillard and Epperson v. Arkansas (1968), and by the application of

1584-531: Is one of the principles through which God created living beings. Earlier supporters of evolutionary theory include Frederick Temple , Asa Gray and Charles Kingsley who were enthusiastic supporters of Darwin's theories upon their publication, and the French Jesuit priest and geologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin saw evolution as confirmation of his Christian beliefs, despite condemnation from Church authorities for his more speculative theories. Another example

1656-451: Is radically creationist, but in a totally different sense. It is rooted in a belief that everything depends upon God, or better, all is a gift from God. While supporting the methodological naturalism inherent in modern science, the proponents of theistic evolution reject the implication taken by some atheists that this gives credence to ontological materialism . In fact, many modern philosophers of science, including atheists, refer to

1728-456: Is that of Liberal theology , not providing any creation models, but instead focusing on the symbolism in beliefs of the time of authoring Genesis and the cultural environment. Many Christians and Jews had been considering the idea of the creation history as an allegory (instead of historical) long before the development of Darwin's theory of evolution. For example, Philo , whose works were taken up by early Church writers, wrote that it would be

1800-460: The Garden of Eden . This story is the basis of creationist cosmology and biology. The Genesis flood narrative (Genesis 6–9) tells how God destroys the world and all life through a great flood, saving representatives of each form of life by means of Noah's Ark . This forms the basis of creationist geology, better known as flood geology . Recent decades have seen attempts to de-link creationism from

1872-596: The Islamic and Hindu faiths who are creationists. Use of the term "creationist" in this context dates back to Charles Darwin 's unpublished 1842 sketch draft for what became On the Origin of Species , and he used the term later in letters to colleagues. In 1873, Asa Gray published an article in The Nation saying a "special creationist" who held that species "were supernaturally originated just as they are, by

1944-579: The Lemon test , that creates a legal hurdle to teaching intelligent design in public school districts in other federal court jurisdictions. In astronomy , the geocentric model (also known as geocentrism, or the Ptolemaic system), is a description of the cosmos where Earth is at the orbital center of all celestial bodies. This model served as the predominant cosmological system in many ancient civilizations such as ancient Greece . As such, they assumed that

2016-451: The age of the Earth or universe can be taken as reliable. Various supporters of Young Earth creationism have given different explanations for their belief that the universe is filled with false evidence of the universe's age, including a belief that some things needed to be created at a certain age for the ecosystems to function, or their belief that the creator was deliberately planting deceptive evidence. The idea has seen some revival in

2088-452: The age of the Earth , some tenets of biology such as microevolution as well as archaeology to make its case. In this view creation occurred in rapid bursts in which all "kinds" of plants and animals appear in stages lasting millions of years. The bursts are followed by periods of stasis or equilibrium to accommodate new arrivals. These bursts represent instances of God creating new types of organisms by divine intervention. As viewed from

2160-568: 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 also used to refer to a time period, with a beginning and an end and not necessarily that of a 24-hour day. The day-age theory attempts to reconcile the Genesis creation narrative and modern science by asserting that the creation "days" were not ordinary 24-hour days, but actually lasted for long periods of time (as day-age implies,

2232-402: The scientific method with "a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions" which accepts supernatural explanations. It is widely accepted in the scientific and academic communities that intelligent design is a form of creationism, and is sometimes referred to as "intelligent design creationism." ID originated as a re-branding of creation science in an attempt to avoid

2304-476: The universe . This leads to an open and often hostile opposition to what neo-creationists term " Darwinism ", which they generally mean to refer to evolution , but which they may extend to include such concepts as abiogenesis , stellar evolution and the Big Bang theory. Unlike their philosophical forebears, neo-creationists largely do not believe in many of the traditional cornerstones of creationism such as

According to this view, the sequence and duration of the creation "days" may be paralleled to the scientific consensus for the age of the earth and the universe . Progressive creationism is the religious belief that God created new forms of life gradually over a period of hundreds of millions of years. As a form of old Earth creationism, it accepts mainstream geological and cosmological estimates for

The idea has been criticised as Last Thursdayism , and on the grounds that it requires a deliberately deceptive creator.

2520-528: The American Scientific Affiliation: A theory of theistic evolution (TE) – also called evolutionary creation – proposes that God's method of creation was to cleverly design a universe in which everything would naturally evolve. Usually the "evolution" in "theistic evolution" means Total Evolution – astronomical evolution (to form galaxies, solar systems,...) and geological evolution (to form

To counter the common misunderstanding that the creation–evolution controversy was a simple dichotomy of views, with "creationists" set against "evolutionists", Eugenie Scott of the National Center for Science Education produced a diagram and description of a continuum of religious views as

2664-527: The Earth and the universe were created with the appearance of age , so that the world appears to be much older than it is, and that this appearance is what gives the geological findings and other methods of dating the Earth and the universe their much longer timelines . The Christian organizations Answers in Genesis (AiG), Institute for Creation Research (ICR) and the Creation Research Society (CRS) promote young Earth creationism in

2736-434: The Earth is only a few thousand years old. It is based on the religious belief that the universe was created by a divine being, within the past six to ten thousand years (in keeping with flood geology ), and that the presence of objective, verifiable evidence that the universe is older than approximately ten millennia is due to the creator introducing false evidence that makes the universe appear significantly older. The idea

2808-403: The Earth was "without form and void." This allows an indefinite gap of time to be inserted after the original creation of the universe, but prior to the Genesis creation narrative , (when present biological species and humanity were created). Gap theorists can therefore agree with the scientific consensus regarding the age of the Earth and universe, while maintaining a literal interpretation of

2880-544: The Earth within the last ten thousand years, with a literalist interpretation of the Genesis creation narrative, within the approximate time-frame of biblical genealogies. Most young Earth creationists believe that the universe has a similar age as the Earth. A few assign a much older age to the universe than to Earth. Young Earth creationism gives the universe an age consistent with the Ussher chronology and other young Earth time frames. Other young Earth creationists believe that

According to their business plan, they planned to evangelize one person every month, identifying Islam as

3312-628: The Study of Creation promotes similar ideas. Old Earth creationism holds that the physical universe was created by God, but that the creation event described in the Book of Genesis is to be taken figuratively. This group generally believes that the age of the universe and the age of the Earth are as described by astronomers and geologists , but that details of modern evolutionary theory are questionable. Old Earth creationism itself comes in at least three types: Gap creationism (also known as ruin-restoration creationism , restoration creationism , or

3384-562: The Sun and the Moon are due to their actual motions around the Earth rather than due to the rotation of the Earth about its axis. For example, Joshua 10:12–13 where the Sun and Moon are said to stop in the sky, and Psalms 93:1 where the world is described as immobile. Contemporary advocates for such religious beliefs include Robert Sungenis , co-author of the self-published Galileo Was Wrong: The Church Was Right (2006). These people subscribe to

Roman Catholic schools teach evolution without controversy on the basis that scientific knowledge does not extend beyond the physical, and scientific truth and religious truth cannot be in conflict. Theistic evolution can be described as "creationism" in holding that divine intervention brought about the origin of life or that divine laws govern formation of species, though many creationists (in

Through the 19th century the term creationism most commonly referred to direct creation of individual souls , in contrast to traducianism . Following the publication of Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation , there

3960-409: The entire physical universe evolved from fundamental particles in processes such as stellar evolution , life forms developed in biological evolution, and in the same way the origin of life by natural causes has resulted from these laws. In one form or another, theistic evolution is the view of creation taught at the majority of mainline Protestant seminaries. For Roman Catholics, human evolution

4032-560: The evidence for macroevolution is claimed to be false, but microevolution is accepted as a genetic parameter designed by the Creator into the fabric of genetics to allow for environmental adaptations and survival. Generally, it is viewed by proponents as a middle ground between literal creationism and evolution. Organizations such as Reasons To Believe , founded by Hugh Ross , promote this version of creationism. Progressive creationism can be held in conjunction with hermeneutic approaches to

Theistic evolution, also called, evolutionary creation, became

4248-467: The long-standing convention in the scientific method that observable events in nature should be explained by natural causes, with the distinction that it does not assume the actual existence or non-existence of the supernatural. There are also non-Christian forms of creationism, notably Islamic creationism and Hindu creationism . In the creation myth taught by Bahá'u'lláh , the Bahá'í Faith founder,
