The other form of creationism is called [[Old Earth Creationism]] and holds that the earth and universe are billions of years old.  Creationist scientists believe that the [[First Law of Thermodynamics|first law of thermodynamics]] and [[Second law of thermodynamics|second law of thermodynamics]] argue against an eternal universe and they also claim that these laws point to the universe being supernaturally created. <ref>[http://godevidences.net/space/lawsofscience.php Evidences for God From Space&mdash;Laws of Science]</ref>  Dr. [[Norman Geisler]] stated that "Both young- and old-earthers believe that God supernaturally, directly and immediately produced every kind of animal and human as separate and genetically distinct forms of life." <ref>http://www.johnankerberg.org/Articles/science/SC0305W3.htm</ref> Dr. [[Norman Geisler]] also wrote that "both young- and old-earthers who are [[Evangelicalism|evangelical]] hold to the historicity of the Genesis account: They believe that Adam and Eve were literal people, the progenitors of the entire human race." <ref>http://www.johnankerberg.org/Articles/science/SC0305W3.htm</ref>  Creationists scientists assert that the [[theory of evolution]] is in conflict with the evidence provided by the [[physical sciences]] and often cite secular scientific sources which agree with them on various points (for further details please see: [[theory of evolution]]).<ref>http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/21</ref>
