Creation refers to either that which has been created, e.g. Mark 16:15, “Preach the Gospel to the whole creation,” or to the moment or process by which God created, e.g. Genesis is the creation account. This article deals with the second meaning.
Creation science investigates how God brought the earth and universe into being. Young Earth Creationism demonstrates though multiple lines of evidence that the earth is approximately 6,000 years old. Old Earth Creationism, like atheistic evolutionary pseudoscience, claims that the earth and universe are billions of years old.
Creation scientists also demonstrate 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).[1] Theistic evolutionists accept an old Earth and believe that evolution occurred, but that it was God’s means of creation.
Famous Creationists
The late Dr. Henry Morris was the founder of the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), who coined the term “creation science” and began the modern creation science movement. He was a scientist and held a master's degree and a PhD in hydraulic engineering from the University of Minnesota.
Dr. Duane Gish, now retired, was a scientist (chemistry), a member of ICR, and a prolific debater for the Young Earth creationist cause. Dr. Henry Morris said of Gish, “at least in our judgment and that of most in the audiences, he always wins.”
Dr. Jonathan Sarfati is a scientist (chemistry), chess champion, and Young Earth creationist, who works for Creation Ministries International in Australia. He has written a number of books refuting evolutionary arguments and various theological arguments that try and accommodate evolution or an old Earth.
Ken Ham is a Young Earth creationist, a founder of the American branch of Answers in Genesis, and prime mover of the Petersburg, Kentucky Creation Museum.
Dr. Hugh Ross is a scientist (astronomy), a progressive creationist, and founder of Reasons to Believe. He considers nature to be the 67th book of the Bible.
