American Creationism Movement

The American Creationism Movement is a conservative belief system that asserts the Biblical account of creation, particularly that God created the Earth and all living beings in six days as described in Genesis, is a literal and historical fact. It emerged in opposition to scientific explanations like evolution, emphasizing the authority of religious texts over certain scientific theories. The movement seeks to influence education, public policy, and cultural debates to promote a worldview rooted in the literal interpretation of creation stories, often challenging mainstream scientific consensus and advocating for teaching creationism alongside or instead of evolution in schools.
