'''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]
