		Creationism, broad range of beliefs involving an appeal to God's miraculous intervention to explain the origin of the universe, of life, and of the different kinds of plants and animals on earth.
		Darwin later expressed regret over this concession to creationism, and for the rest of his life he ruled out any role for God in the origin and development of living things.
		The most distinctive feature of young-earth creationism is its reliance on catastrophism, the doctrine that large-scale changes in the earth's crust are to be explained by violent, unrepeatable geologic events, such as the biblical flood.

		Day-Age Creationism holds that the six days referred to are not ordinary 24-hour days, but rather much longer periods (of thousands or millions of years); the Genesis account is then interpreted as an account of the process of evolution.
		A general response to the modern creationism controversy has been articulated by creationist Phillip E. Johnson, Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, who argues that the entire issue of biological origins has been framed in terms of naturalism, and that natural science per se is not identical with naturalism.

	Gap Theory or 6 Day Creation

		Creationism Science says that the fossil record was put in the earth by the flood in Noah's Day and the Grand Canyon was caused by the ICE AGE which resulted after the flood.
		Gap Theorists would reply: This ‘beginning’ Jesus is talking about here in Matthew refers to the ‘beginning’ of man on earth with Adam and Eve, not necessarily the beginning of heaven and earth in their original creation as in Gen. 1:1.

	Creationism- Ideologies
		The term creationism is most often used to describe the belief that creation occurred literally as described in the book of Genesis or the Qur'an, for Jews and Christians, and for Muslims, respectively.
		It can still be described as "creationism" in holding that divine intervention brought about the origin of life or that divine Laws govern formation of species, but in the creation-evolution controversy its proponents generally take the "evolutionist" side while disputing that some scientists' methodological assumption of materialism can be taken as ontological as well.
		Many creationists would deny that this is creationism at all, and should rather be called "theistic evolution", just as many scientists allow voice to their spiritual side.

		In short, modern creationism is not the monolithic movement that is often portrayed by critics and the popular press.
		Progressive or “old earth” creationism holds that while God made the universe and continues to act within it, the days of Genesis 1 are not literal, consecutive 24-hour periods.
		The first are so-called “gap theories.” One of the most popular views at the turn of the nineteenth century held that there is an unspecified gap of time between Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2.

	Gap Creationism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gap Creationists believe that science has proven beyond reasonable doubt that the Earth is in fact far older than can be accounted for by merely adding up the ages of Biblical patriarchs, as given in the Book of Genesis.
		Many Gap Creationists postulate that this gap occurs between the seventh day, the one of rest, and the account of the Fall of Adam and Eve and hence that of Mankind though the agency of the temptation of Satan in the form of a snake.
		The viewpoint that a gap took place between verses 1 and 2 makes the events within the "six days of Genesis" an act of re-creation (restoration of the Earth) rather than initial creation, and is part of the ideas held by some adherents of Dispensationalism as recorded by Rev.

		Gap Creationists: Also a form of old-earth creationism, gap creationists believe that there was a long time lapse between the first two chapters of the Book of Genesis, with a six-day recreation of the world occurring after the gap.
		Creationism was the default hypothesis before Charles Darwin's day, but when the theory of evolution was proposed, its superior evidentiary support and explanatory power led it to quickly win scientists over and dominate the field of biology.
		It is the opinion of the author that creationism is completely lacking in any scientific validity, and it is the author's hope that he may convince other people of this by exposing them to the evidence and arguments that first convinced him.

	NCSE Resource (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The gap theory became increasingly attractive during the end of the eighteenth century and first half of the nineteenth century, as the new scientific discipline of geology made it increasingly obvious that Earth was far older than a straightforward, literal interpretation of Genesis and the Bible-based Flood geology would allow.
		The gap theory provided an attractive escape from this dilemma, allowing religious geologists to preserve both their faith in the Bible and in the new authority of science, which, according to the doctrine of natural theology, was now considered a second revelation—God's word in nature as well as in scripture.
		He also claims that belief in the gap theory antedated the aforementioned conflict engendered by the discovery of geological ages—that the ancient Bible commentators and church fathers endorsed it and that it is, in fact, the orthodox view rather than a desperate maneuver to avoid the inescapable dilemma posed by the rising science of geology.

		Those who advocate the gap theory agree that the six days of the creation week were literal days, but they interpret them only as days of recreation, with God creating again many of the kinds of animals and plants destroyed in the cataclysm.
		The gap theory was developed mainly for the purpose of accommodating the great ages demanded by evolutionary geologists.
		If the gap theory were valid, it would mean that God had instituted an ages-long system of suffering and death over the world, before there were ever any men and women to place in dominion over that world, and then suddenly destroy it in a violent cataclysm.

	Creation and Evolution: What Should We Teach?, The Eagle Feather (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Gap creationists claim two creations, described sequentially in the first and second chapters of Genesis, and that the first was destroyed before God created man. The time gap between the two creations allows for accommodation of the scientific data on the ancient age of the earth and special creation.
		The view held by the majority of modern old-earth creationists is some form of progressive creationism, blending special creationism with a fair amount of modern science.
		The difference between evolutionary creationism and theistic evolution, which follows in the continuum, is that evolutionary creationists are more likely to be conservative Christians; evolutionary creationism is more theologically conservative.

		A 2000 poll by People for the American Way examined the question of popular support for evolution and creationism in schools, and showed that a majority of 83% supported the teaching of the theory of evolution [2].
		Evolutionary scientists hold that, on the contrary, there is evidence in favour of evolution over time and that most types of creationism are in direct conflict with findings of empirical sciences like geology, paleontology and physics.
		Evolutionists often respond that these are attempts to "mask" creationism as a science, and that so-called creation science is pseudoscience.
