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]] and believers in [[Intelligent Design]] still disagree about [[common descent]] and all insist (on religious grounds) that God directly intervened to form each new kind of creature.
