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

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.
