Creationist scientists do believe in [[Species|speciation]] and also believe that it happens much faster than the evolutionary theory would expect. <ref>http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3855/#kinds</ref><ref>http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/207</ref><ref>http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3036/</ref> Creationist scientists classify the various [[Kind|kinds]] of animals and plants (which they view as being genetically unrelated) using the discipline of [[baraminology]]. <ref>http://www.christiananswers.net/q-crs/baraminology.html</ref>
Lastly, creationists and [[intelligent design]] theorists do not believe that the origin of first life is credible though naturalistic means and that it occurred supernaturally. <ref>http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/origin-of-life.html</ref><ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/origin.asp</ref><ref>http://www.trueorigin.org/abio.asp</ref><ref>http://www.macrodevelopment.org/library/meyer.html</ref><ref>http://www.nwcreation.net/abiogenesislinks.html</ref>
