    Creationism is the religious belief[1]  that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe  are the creation of a supernatural  being. As science developed from the 18th century onwards, various views developed which aimed to reconcile science  with the Genesis creation narrative.[2]  At this time those holding that species had been separately created were generally called "advocates of creation" but they were occasionally called "creationists" in private correspondence between Charles Darwin and his friends. As the creation–evolution controversy  developed, the term "anti-evolutionists" became more common, then in 1929 in the United States the term "creationism" first became specifically associated with Christian fundamentalist disbelief in human evolution and belief in a young Earth, though its usage was contested by other groups, such as old earth creationists and evolutionary creationists, who believed in various concepts of creation.[3]  Today, the American Scientific Affiliation  and the UK-based Christians in Science recognize that there are different opinions among creationists on the method of creation, while acknowledging unity  on the Christian belief that God "created the universe."[4][5][6]  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creationism

    Wiki-pedia. A wealth of information ;)

    Creationists believe that the account of creation in the book of Genesis is correct and that the earth and all that is in it was created in 6 days, not millions of years as scientists believe.


    Muslims also believe this as the account in the Koran is very similar,  and  their religion forbids them from disbelieving the Koran.


    if you want to know more about creationism visit https://www.answersingenesis.com

    i believe it is the art of creating...maybe also a way of thinking or a philosophy??
