Line 1: − {{merge|evolution and creation}}+ − '''Evolution and creationism''' are generally seen as being opposed to each other, but there are ways in which some see them as compatible. − − The most direct conflict is between those who define evolution as the gradual appearance of new [[species]] of life (see [[macroevolution]]) as shown by [[fossil]]s; and those who support the Biblical account of God creating all forms of less than 10,000 years ago. Thus, [[Young Earth Creationists]] oppose evolution in all its aspects: gradual appearance, common ancestry, and "[[evolution through natural selection]]". − − For those who accept [[fossil]]s as proving the gradual appearance of forms of life over millions of years, there is slightly less conflict. But some [[Old Earth Creationists]] still disagree about [[common descent]] and all insist (on religious grounds) that God directly intervened to form each new kind of creature. − − There are some people who say that evolution is compatible with Creationism, or who assert that the Catholic Church accepts evolution. However, [[Pope John Paul II]] wrote: − − * ... if the human body takes its origin from pre-existent living matter the spiritual soul is immediately created by God. [http://www.cin.org/jp2evolu.html Pope John Paul II] − * Theories of evolution which ... consider the mind as emerging from the forces of living matter, or as a mere epiphenomenon of this matter, are incompatible with the truth about man. [ibid] − − [[Category:Evolution]] − [[Category:Creationism]]
