However, one of the most in depth explanations, can be found in a press release for creationism.org, wherein creationists define their perspective as follows:
- “There are two (often overlapping) types of ‘creationism.’ They are ‘Biblical Creation’ and ‘Scientific Creation.’
Biblical Creation - Using Bible texts to defend creation theory. A few primary texts include: Genesis, chapters 1 to 12 - from the 6 days of Creation till the Great Flood (1700 years later), then until just after the Tower of Babel and the dispersion of the nations. Exodus 20:11 (in the middle of the Ten Commandments, this verse states in part: "For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day...." Also, Luke 17:26-27 (or Matt. 24:37-39): "And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all." (This statement by Christ shows that he considered the Great Flood to be a real historical event, one of Divine judgment of humankind.) And I Corinthians 15:45, which compares Adam (as a literal person) to Christ as the "last Adam."
Scientific Creation - Yes, we often use science - completely independent of any Bible references - to contend that creation science is a plausible scientific theory. Many persons dismiss this notion at the outset, but please be advised that informed creationists usually triumph over evolutionists in debates. We also have science on our side.
The majority of modern scientists, just like the rest of the human race, are unrepentant sinners. As such they do not want to face God. Humans often hide rather than face judgment. (Evolution provides a great hiding place.) Creationists can show evolution's frauds and deceptions time after time, but it will remain an uphill battle to reveal the truth regarding our origins (unique from animals) as made "in the image of God" and human responsibility for our sins.”
