The dictionary definition above is not adequate to describe every category of Creationism, but generally all Creationists believe that all matter was originally created by a God or some other [[supernatural]] force.<ref>[http://www.creationism.org/english/index.htm]</ref> The term is also often associated with the creation story found in Genesis 1-2. The term Creationism in and of itself refers to the worldview or presupposition of an outside supernatural creative Being, while the result of that world view is the scientific theory of Creation. Some forms of Creationism (especially the more literal forms) conflict with [[evolution|evolution]] while others do not.<ref>[http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v11/i4/christian.asp]</ref> Not all Christian denominations embrace creationism with the more literal Genesis interpretations. Many non-Christian sects believe in a form of creationism, including American Indian religions, Hindus, and the Classical Greek and Egyptian polytheistic religions.

'''Belief in creation in all cultures is founded on faith. While [[creation scientists]] attempt to justify creationism from a scientific perspective, mainstream scientific descriptions of the origins of life are found in the [[scientific theory of evolution]].'''<ref>''Kitzmiller'', 400 F.
