creationism |
Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.03 sec. |
creationismTheory concerned with the origins of matter and life, claiming, as does the Bible in Genesis, that the world and humanity were created by a supernatural Creator, not more than 6,000 years ago. It was developed in response to Darwin's theory of evolution; it is not recognized by most scientists as having a factual basis. After a trial 1981-82, a US judge ruled as unconstitutional an attempt in Arkansas schools to enforce equal treatment of creationism and evolutionary theory. From 1996 in Alabama, all biology textbooks had to contain a statement that evolution is a controversial theory and not a proven fact. In 1999 the Kansas Board of Education added creationism to the school science curriculum, and removed evolution. However, evolution was restored to the curriculum in 2001.
