Creation may have two meanings.  It may refer to that which has been created, i.e. Mark 16:15, “Preach the Gospel to the whole creation,” or it may refer to the moment or process by which [[God]] created, i.e. [[Genesis]] is the creation account.  This article deals with the second meaning.

Different groups have different views on creation.  [[Young Earth Creationists]] take the Genesis creation account literally and believe that over six 24-hour days, God separately created each creation mentioned.  They also consider the list of [[patriarchs]] in the [[Bible]] to be generally accurate, without missing lists or gaps, and so they consider the earth to be a mere 6000 years old, thus “Young Earth.”

[[Old Earth Creationists]] may believe in the separate creation of each creature (their views are more varied), but also take the [[creation week]] as an allegory and embrace the billion-year-old [[earth]].
