everyone has there own opnion about evolution and creationism the question is what is th basis for that opinion and both have evidence but its all up to faith and what you believe

CREATIONISM-

Some will call it a myth , some will call it just a bedtime story , but the earth being created by the almighty God is WAY more than any of those things. Creationism is a FACT that God created the earth. God made earth and space. He made the stars. He made the seas.He made all the animals and insects. HE MADE MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE!!!!!We are responsible to Him. We are made to take care of this wonderful world He has given us. Genesis 1:1-2 : God created the heavens and earth.The earth was void without shape or form. This proves God created the earth for there was nothing b4 Him and there will be nothing after Him.

Thank You for reading this.

there is creation and evolution.
creation supports the theory tat god created everything. evolution support the theory that we just happened like the big bang.the gap theory is that god created the earth in genesis 1:1 and 1:2 in not seven days but it could have taken millions of years, how do we know how long his days were 10 years to him could be a 24 hour day to us. the literal view is of christain that he created the earth in 7 24 our days.

this is my creation blog
the gap theory is when that involves that is happened between genesis1:1that the people who believe that God that created a complete"first creation" and progressive creationism is when the people believe that creation occured over a long period of time snd not a short one. i am supporting for the progressive creation.In romans 5:12 "Which states death came to result of Adams sin" this theory suggests tha t millions of years suffering an death occurred prior to the creation of Adam

everybody has there own religion but why do they think evolutionis the real religion it is kinda stupid that they think we evolved from monkeys just because we have one less different molecule i think we i think it is stupid to think in evolution

Literal view V.S Gap theory.
The literal view believers, believe that there is a complete twenty- four hour day and a complete 7 days.
The gap theory believe that the earth was made over a period of millions and billions of years. The literal view in this case is the strongest to the Bible because it says clearly that God created in a series of seven days. In Genesis 1 it says in several places that the evening and the morning were the first day not that the first million years was the first day.Genesis 1:5 is an example of this. There is no place in the Bible that says that creation took a million or a billion years.

creationism approves the belief that the world was created by a divine creator and theres no way that by chance the world and all the people were crated by luck...
cause everything we see in a day every feeling we have in our bodys was created by god it was allowed by god...

I would have to agree with Creationism. Both Creationism and evolution are beliefs, each different in many ways. Creationism cannot be proven by men(except for with the Bible) and same with evolution. What you believe in is based on faith in what you believe in. I also agree with supermcfizzle. You have a short, but good explanation. Everyone has their opinions and beliefs, but Creationism is the only TRUE belief.

Evolution-
On the other hand there is evolution which has many different theories.
1• We evovled from pond sludge
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?????
2• We came from a fish
Just tell me how this is physically possible , plz tell me how??
3• We came from many different types of monkey ( going from 1 to another)
Honestly that doesn't even make
sense to me. Comeing from monkeys the only simalarities are aposable thumbs and the have close dna to us.
All these theories u REALY need to have faith to blieve this.

Anonymous said...

Biblical creationism is what God did to make the earth.People say that God didnt create the earth and say it just happened over time.We as Christians should always believe that he did create the earth and every thing on it.

iamthemindfreak said...

Evolution says that the universe was created by chance. ?!?!?
How can it happen by chance?!How!?
What if this chance was lost, and the chance for actual life on this not so barren world? This is why i believe in Creationism.

Those evolutionary theories are just three of VERY MANY

Creationism is the belief that the physical universe, including the earth and all living things, were made by God.

Evolution is the belief that that the universe was happened by chance.

the two of the creating types are the
biblical creationism and evolution
biblical creationism is the way Jesus
Christ created us with love he thought about us when he created us and he knew what we are going to do for the future. evolution on the other and is theory of big bang is when theybleived that there was just a big bang and then we all appeared
which is false.

Creation vs. Evolution - A Question of Origins
The creation vs. evolution debate is a question of origins. How did we get here? Were we created or did we evolve randomly? Are we the product of purposeful intelligence or are we merely the end result of countless cosmic accidents? What does the evidence say?

Creation vs. Evolution - What Are We Looking For?
Without hard evidence, the creation vs. evolution debate wouldn't amount to much more than a philosophical grudge match. Everyone has their own opinion. The question is what is the basis for that opinion? You see, people can believe whatever they want, but that doesn't make them right. It's the hard evidence that separates the proverbial wheat from the chaff. Keep in mind that "evidence" is not the same as "proof". Evidence is helpful in forming conclusions, while proof concludes the matter altogether. If we had proof, the theory of evolution wouldn't be called a theory. So what constitutes evidence? What are we looking for?

Creation denotes the existence of a divine Creator who has exercised His creative abilities, creating this world and the life-forms we see. Life is the product of intelligent contrivance. Thus, apparent design in biology would constitute evidence for a Designer. It is a self-evident and universally recognized truth: concept and design require an intelligent designer. So, while recognizing design in biology is not based upon religious premise (but upon empirical observation and logic), it certainly has theological implications [1]. Do we find apparent design in biology? Yes. In fact, apparent design pervades the biologic realm [2, 3]. When we apply the general principles of detecting design to living creatures, we find it reasonable to infer the existence of a Creator.

Evolution stresses the naturalistic (random, undirected) descent of all living creatures from a common ancestor [4] who originally evolved from inorganic matter. Life is the product of random chance. What we need here is a plausible mechanism, feasibility, and a history of functionality. British naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-1882) gave the evolutionary worldview scientific credence by supplying the much needed mechanism - "natural selection". That was 150 years ago. Today, we know that mechanism to be deficient, even in light of genetic mutation. With the tremendous advances we've made in molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics over the past fifty years we've been exposed to a whole new dimension in living systems that was previously unknown. Evolutionary biologists are now looking for a new mechanism, one that can overcome genetic constraints and other chemical-oriented barriers that have been identified in recent years. Until this mechanism is found, the theory of evolution (a theory which has enjoyed prominence in biological circles for over 100 years) simply lacks feasibility, and thus, credibility.

Evolution and creationism


Creationism is when people belive that God created the world and evolution is way different they bielive that the world was made from a big ban theory. And people belive that we were made from a monkey and mud creationism belive we are made from God which we are there is a lot of evolution that are not true a person who made evolution was Charles Darwin.

Unknown said...

the belief of creation is that god created man individually in his own image.
evolution is the belief that man evolved from nothing from a fish or a single cell.

picture this, you find a watch lying on the ground how did it get there, did it just appear or did someone have to have created it? think about it.

cameron merrill said...

Two creationist views are literal view and the gap theory. I think that the literal view is more true to the Bible because the Bible said that God created the world in seven days and God probably did not need millions and billions of years to create the world. I think this is true because God says in Genesis 1 that God uses the morning and the evening and i believe that would be considered as one day. Evolution cannot be true because the Bible is true and in the Bible it says that God created the world.

Creationism is the belief that the God created man in his in own eyes
Evolution is the belief that everything just happened and there is no creator!

julia herrington said...

Creationism is not just another belief, its a true belief. The problem is with most evolutionists is that if they hear the truth they just want to deny it. God is so powerful to create the universe he would not create evolution .

Unknown said...

Progressive creationism is the belief that the earth took a long to make instead of short period. It also says it took several stages of large amounts of time to make the earth. Theistic creationism is the belief that the scripture is accurate and that God used evolution the create the universe. That would also be saying that they were along with the theory of evolution.

Anonymous said...

The literal view is the true version supported by scripture. It says that God created the universe in seven days made up of twenty-four hours.
The Gap theory says that God created a first universe and it lasted for billions of years, but God destroyed it and created a second universe.

Anonymous said...

The literal view of is the believe that God created the earth in seven Twenty-four hour days.This is said in the Bible "the evening and the morning"Which is twenty-four hour days.

Compromise view is the believe that evolution can fit together with the Bible.We as believers should know that this could not happen because evolution and the Bible are completely different.

The Gap theory states that the "First Creation" may have lasted over a billion years then during the fall of Satan the "First Creation"was destroyed and He re-created the earth.

Progressive Creationism says that the earth was created in a course of a billion of years and God just put His Creations in the time period periodically.

Theistic Evolution mixes the Bible with bioloagical evolution it accepts the fact of Scripture ,but says God created the earth by evolution.

Nicci Mullins said...

i believe in evolution that man evolved from prehistoric races of animals.that man evolved from apes.that over time men stood more upright and began to communicate and became a higher level in species

Briaunna said...

evolution VS creation
creationism is the real way that the earth was made if you were to look around how could all these things be made by a big bang. It could not be possible it would not be so perfectly made only God could have done that. And if we evolved from monkeys there would probably be monkeys born or something like that. Evolution makes some sense for a second and then after you start listening it does not fit in .

The difference between Creationism and Evolution.Is that Creationism is saying that God created the heaven and the earth in seven days and Evolution is saying He did not creat the heaven and the earth in seven days.
