Creationism is a term with a variety of meanings. Most generally, creationism is the belief  that the universe was originally created by God.[http://www.creationism.org/english/index.htm]. Creationism can also mean a belief in a creation according to a literal interpretation of Genesis. Some forms of creationism (especially the more literal forms) conflict with [[evolution|evolutionary ideas]] while others do not.[http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v11/i4/christian.asp].

Not all Christian denominations embrace creationism with the more literal Genesis interpretations, but nearly all embrace the [[Crucifixion]] of [[Jesus]] as a redemption for the sin of [[Adam]].  For example, despite some difficulties under the most recent Pope, for the past 50 years the Catholic church has embraced evolution as not conflicting with Biblical faith, and descriptive of the world.  Although Pope Benedict XVI has expressed some doubts on the subject, the Vatican in general stands behind evolution.

 

Many ancient non-Christian sects believe in a form of creationism, including American Indian religions, Hindus, and the Classical Greek and Egyptian polytheistic religions.
