Creation in scripture is two views, a 7 day version, a garden version.Definition of CREATIONISM
"Creationism: a doctrine or theory holding that matter, the various forms of life, and the world were created by God out of nothing and usually in the way described in Genesis "
For the sake of this thread - the way the Bible describes creationism in Genesis 1:3-2:4 is that in 6 evenings-and-mornings God created
the Sun
the moon,
our atmosphere,
and all life on Earth with man and all land animals created in a single "evening and morning" day 6.
So then clearly that belief in creationism is not also belief in evolutionism by any stretch and no text on evolution defines it as stated in the creationist text... "The Bible".
Since this is the "Creationism" forum ... so my question is ... do we actually have any creationists posting here - where the term is defined by that Bible definition?
(I am posting this thread because it is starting to look like there are very few if any actual creationists posting here in this forum ... as in "not a believer in evolutionism" ... is it all just evolutionists here?)
These are metaphors of intent and hierarchy. Weirdly we may all be a simulation, no less real or significant, so view origins as what is useful today going forward.
7 day creation is absurd in science terms, 300m thick chalk deposites made in a month, 800,000 year ice core in the Antarctic made in months, Noah's flood covering everything and all land life coming from the ark.
Genesis created 1300bc is unique. The stories speak to our time and resonate. God gave them to be taken by faith, so I do, but time and history I do not know how to place, but this does not change their meaning.
God bless you
