Creationism History: Topic Index
These history topics, provided by Dr. Ron Numbers, cover the
comparitively recent science-and-religion issue of ‘Creationism’—the
view that the Biblical account of creation in Genesis 1 is in
some respect a literal and historical description. A literal interpretation
of the six-day special creation account in scripture is often
hard to reconcile with current scientific theories on the origin
of the universe and life on Earth. It seems as though they are
in conflict. For some people this difficulty suggests that scripture
is not a reliable source of knowledge (or at a minimum a poor
source of scientific explanations) and for some it implies contemporary
science must be in error.
