Creationist movement

The Creationist movement is a belief system that asserts the universe and life were created by a divine being, as described in religious texts, particularly the Bible. It challenges scientific explanations of origins, such as evolution, holding that species were created in their current forms. This movement often emphasizes a literal interpretation of scriptures and promotes the idea that scientific evidence should align with these religious beliefs. Creationism can manifest in various forms, including Young Earth Creationism, which asserts that the Earth is relatively young, and Old Earth Creationism, which allows for an ancient Earth while still supporting divine involvement in creation.
