	IPS Chandler: Who Are the Creationists
		I believe most creationists in this category are open, honest people who are interested in hearing new information, if perhaps mistrustful of the views of unbelievers, but willing to discuss their beliefs in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
		Creationists should be challenged to find ways of understanding God that do not put them in opposition with the search for truth.
		Some creationists feel they are obliged to hold the positions they do because, to quote a slogan, "the Bible says it, I believe it, and that settles it." That seems like a pretty impenetrable wall at first, but perhaps it is not.

	Theology Today - Vol 41, No.2 - July 1984 - THEOLOGICAL TABLE-TALK - Carl Henry's Reasoned Apologetic
		The future-oriented theologies of Moltmann and Pannenberg also come under criticism for casting doubt on the present reality of deity and the lack of adherence to scriptural testimony about the incarnation.
		Gabriel Fackre is Professor of Theology at the Andover Newton Theological School, Newton Centre, Massachusetts.
		In this readiness to go through the discipline of careful research and engagement, he demonstrates a liberality of spirit touted by establishment theologies but often denied in practice by the same, when it comes to attention to evangelical views-a fact which contributes in turn to the fortress mentality of some among the latter constituency.

	Y professors differ with creationist on evolution and carbon-14 dating
		Tolman and Jeffery also believe evolution is compatible with the theology of the LDS Church, but point out the church does not have a stand on evolution.
		In regard to the creationist belief in the literal interpretation of the Bible, Jeffery said the Bible was meant to be a religious record, not a scientific one.
		Tolman said LDS theology does not qualify as creationist theology and identified one example of how the LDS faith reflected an evolutionary approach to the creation of the world.

	Things Creationists Hate
		Creationists have to hate those pesky asteroid craters which are found all over the planet, throughout all geological strata.
		Creationists often use the paucity of the fossil record as evidence against evolution, claiming that if the world were millions of years old, and life on Earth had evolved over such a vast period of time, then you should expect to find billions upon billions of fossilized organisms.
		A somewhat educated creationist might argue that some bacteria have always been resistant to penicillin, and were the only ones that could live near penicillin-producing molds, hence the present resistant strains are simply the product of a shift in the frequencies of that particular gene (a bit like the moth colors).

	Kansas Citizens for Science: Poll: Should Public Schools be Used to Destroy Creationist Beliefs of Children (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		They should be taught that the rest of the world believes this to be true, and since they are going to have to deal with the rest of the world in their lives, preparing them for it might be a good idea.
		Is it fair Jack, to presume that you feel a kid believing in creationist theology is disadvantaged and therefore should be persuaded to relinquish his beliefs if he expects to function in the modern world.
		Creationist beliefs should be no problem for public school students provided they realize that the scientific community doesn't share their beliefs and provided they don't proselytize.

	Creation belief (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		There is a sharp distinction between Young Earth creationists and Old Earth creationists who hold contradictory views regarding the age of the Earth.
		Young Earth creationists usually date the Earth at somewhere around 6,000 years old using the genealogies and other details in the Bible; the Ussher-Lightfoot Calendar of Bishop James Ussher presents one famous interpretation of these details.
		Creationists in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church assert that God is the origin, out of nothing (Latin: ex nihilo), of all things that exist apart from God, who exists eternally.

	Creationism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As such, creationists hold to additional beliefs that are not accepted as scientific descriptions of nature.
		Many creationists (in the strict sense) would deny that the position is creationism at all, while on the other hand many scientists support such faiths which allow a voice to their spiritual side.
		It is exclusively in the public sphere, where young Earth creationists (especially in the U.S.) have fought for recognition of their world view, that the debate about creationism and evolution continues.

	Grand Prairie Friends
		Langdon Gilkey, in the next essay, refutes the notion that this antagonism between science and religion is somehow natural or inevitable, a sadly common view that "theologians often characterize as the 'Walt Disney theory' of cultural history." Furthermore, he suggests, this view does nothing to further anyone's understanding.
		Though these essays are not confrontational, neither are they accommodating, and the second and third sections of the book present specific rebuttals of creationism, both from Christian scientists who discuss how they reconcile their own religion with modern geology and evolution; and from religious leaders who see no conflict between science and religion.
		I don't imagine that if you are a creationist it will convert you, but perhaps it will give you some sympathy with those Christians who are themselves scientists, and who write about and teach about a 5-billion year-old earth in which life has been evolving for the last 2 or 3 billion years.

	Was Jesus a creationist? - TheologyWeb Campus
		Well, of course he was, in the sense that everyone living at the time was a creationist since evolution had not yet been expounded.
		Well, yes- absolutely Jesus was a creationist in the sense that he believed God created the heavens and the earth.
		I won't bother to rehash what I explained in Biblical creationist opposition to evolution is far more substantial than the days [of creation] and the links contained therein.

	CRSQ Notes - Surface and Subsurface Errors in Anti-Creationist Geology
		The assumption that scientific knowledge is somehow superior to revelation, theology, and philosophy is the hallmark of modern positivism.
		When criticized by creationists, their opponents point out that scientific problems facing their pet theories represent new lines of investigation, or problems to be resolved in some new research venture.
		They seem unable to grasp that creationists ground the truth of their position in revelation and theology.

	CATHOLIC LIBRARY: Humani Generis (1950)
		Hence it is that theology through the study of its sacred sources remains ever fresh; on the other hand, speculation which neglects a deeper search into the deposit of faith, proves sterile, as we know from experience.
		For, together with the sources of positive theology God has given to His Church a living Teaching Authority to elucidate and explain what is contained in the deposit of faith only obscurely and implicitly.
		"Scandal," in moral theology, is not simply the setting of tongues to wagging and self-righteous "Oh My-ing." Scandal is an act or the omission of an act which, because of its presence, leads another to commit a sin which, failing its presence he/she would not have done.

	Creationism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		A general creationist belief is that a god or a group of gods created life through a supernatural theistic or mythological construct, through the process of supernaturally-guided evolution (evolutionary creationism or theistic evolution), or through some alternative, non-naturalistic mechanism (e.g.
		Young Earth Creationists, who believe that the Earth was created by God around 6,000 years ago, literally as described in Creation according to Genesis, within the timeframe of the Ussher-Lightfoot Calendar.
		Old Earth Creationists, who maintain that the physical universe was created by God, but that the creation event of Genesis is not to be taken strictly literally.

	Articles / Impact / The German Creationist Movement - Institute for Creation Research
		Although creationist thought was widely accepted in evangelical circles, the theologians refused it, and there were nearly no scientists interested.
		In 1979 the first creationist lectures at state universities were given and media discussion of the movement began.
		The small creationist movement is still concentrating on the natural sciences, but history, sociology, education, ethnology, etc., are full of anti-Biblical thinking.

	SOF: Evolution and Wonder - Understanding Charles Darwin \| Transcript of Radio Program [Speaking of Faith® from ...
		A creationist was not a person historically who had any particular views on the origin of biological species, but as one who held certain theological views about the universe and about the soul.
		It's almost like he's anticipating the theology that he is challenging or trying to open up, so he's kind of at this moment where you say as the two — as religion and science were joined and then there starts to be a divide.
		Darwin evokes the works of God, the works of natural theology, the greatness of nature, at the beginning of The Origin of Species, because he really does believe those works in nature are beautiful and astonishing, and the adaptations of their — he's at one with the spirit of natural theology.

	GLOBAL VOICES OF SCIENCE: Teaching Evolution in Mexico: Preaching to the Choir -- Lazcano 310 (5749): 787 -- Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		One of the little recognized U.S. imports into Mexico is a small flow of creationists, who, through religion, are trying to impose their fundamentalist beliefs and hinder the teaching of Darwinian evolution in all levels of schooling.
		For creationists, that evidentiary gap provides an opportunity to erect a framework of controversy and endless discussion around the study of prebiotic evolution and the origin of life, which they assume are best explained by an intelligent cause rather than by an undirected process like natural selection.
		It is true that there is a huge gap in the current descriptions of the evolutionary transition between the prebiotic synthesis of biochemical compounds and the last common ancestor of all extant living beings.

	The Creationist Tradition in the History of Science
		The "creationist tradition" that it passed on to the early modern world was itself an inheritance from the world of Late Antiquity.
		The fourth theme in the creationist tradition, the ministry of healing and restoration, is the most practical of the four, and yet the least commonly recognized.
		Even so, the basic ideals underlying modern medicine are the same as those inherited from the creationist tradition: (a) that basic health care (if not perfect health) is an attainable ideal for all people; and (b) that the best criterion for all human arts and sciences is the amelioration of the human condition.

	News from Agape Press
		As a creationist who holds a master's degree and a doctorate in paleontology, Wise contends that scripture provides what is by far the best evidence for creation.
		Interestingly, the new head of the Center for Theology and Science received his doctoral degree in paleontology at Harvard under the advisement of famous evolutionist Dr. Stephen Jay Gould.
		Yet while the creationist scholar personally believes in the biblical account of the origins of life, he does not feel Christians should be trying to get either creationism or intelligent design taught in public schools at this time.

	Cosmology Challenges Theology
		Ever since, big bang cosmology and creationist theology have been equated in the literature, much to the discomfort of both the cosmologists and the biblicists.
		The main reason that much of theology is in such a sorry state is the acceptance of just that premise.
		The essence is that fundamentalists live in another century, that science is important in shaping theology, and that they are ignorant of that fact because they do not pursue their education to an adequate level.

	Leithart.com \| Supernatural
		First, the notion of supernatural as stated is incompatible with a strong creationist theology.
		Third, if the suggestion that certain features of the medieval nature/supernature or nature/grace scheme infect Reformed covenant theology is accurate, this will help explain some aspects of the current soteriological debates within Reformed theology and the strange twists that those debates sometimes take.
		If the covenant of works/grace scheme is understood as a variation on the nature/grace scheme, then an insistence on the gratuity of the covenant of works sounds like an assault on the system.

	Darwin, the Scientific Creationist
		At the opposite extreme is antiscientific creationism, which claims that the primary assumptions of biblical theology and natural science are mutually exclusive and that the latter must be rejected.
		His formal education gave him excellent preparation for the religious aspects of this endeavor, since the only academic degree he ever earned was in theology, after a three-year course of study at Cambridge University.
		Darwin, however, deserves to be called a scientific creationist because he attempted to knit together scientific and theological theories in a way that affords a more unified and comprehensive view of reality.

	Jettison the Arguments, or the Rule?: Nelson, Paul
		In a related analysis, the German creationists Reinhard Junker and Siegfried Scherer explain the origin of the rudimentary wings of flightless beetles and insects as cases of degenerative microevolution.
		In particular, one important avenue of explanation open to the creationist must be cut off, namely, the possibility that homologous patterns, such as the pentadactyl limb, are functionally optimal, and thus, could reasonably have been intended, and realized, by an optimizing creator.
		One can jettison the theology, but then the patterns of similarity remain only phenomena to be explained: they do not speak univocally for descent, as opposed to design or creation.

	Genesis & Origins
		A hallmark of young earth creationist theology is the principle that creation was miraculous and sudden.
		The latest “creationist cosmology”, however, contradicts this principle where the earlier days (days 1 through 3) are concerned.
		Young earth creationist theology is surely crumbling at the edges, because even their literalistic reading of Genesis 1 is subtly being re-interpreted along evolutionary lines.
