Creation scienceCreation science or scientific creationism is a pseudoscientific form of Young Earth creationism which claims to offer scientific arguments for certain literalist and inerrantist interpretations of the Bible. It is often presented without overt faith-based language, but instead relies on reinterpreting scientific results to argue that various myths in the Book of Genesis and other select biblical passages are scientifically valid.
Créationnismevignette|Le Premier Jour de la création, Chronique de Nuremberg, 1493. Dans la Bible, Dieu « fait exister » le monde. vignette|Dieu créant les animaux, illustration médiévale de 1445 (Allemagne). Le créationnisme, qui s’exprime sous différentes formes, est une doctrine qui stipule que Dieu a créé non seulement l'univers mais également chacune des espèces vivantes, contrairement au très large consensus scientifique qui soutient l'idée d’un processus évolutif par lequel de nouvelles espèces se forment à partir d'ancêtres communs.
Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolutionvignette|Mosaïque en médaillon du plancher de la salle principale de la Jordan Hall of Science de l'université de Notre Dame. Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution (littéralement « Rien en biologie n'a de sens, excepté à la lumière de l'évolution ») est un essai du biologiste évolutionniste Theodosius Dobzhansky, paru en 1973. Il dresse une critique du créationnisme anti-évolutionniste et épousant l'évolution théiste. L'essai a d'abord été publié dans American Biology Teacher.
EvolutionismEvolutionism is a term used (often derogatorily) to denote the theory of evolution. Its exact meaning has changed over time as the study of evolution has progressed. In the 19th century, it was used to describe the belief that organisms deliberately improved themselves through progressive inherited change (orthogenesis). The teleological belief went on to include cultural evolution and social evolution. In the 1970s, the term "Neo-Evolutionism" was used to describe the idea that "human beings sought to preserve a familiar style of life unless change was forced on them by factors that were beyond their control.
Edwards v. AguillardEdwards v.s Aguillard (1987), est un procès et une décision rendue par la Cour suprême des États-Unis quant à la constitutionnalité de l’enseignement du créationnisme en tant que « science ». La Cour a pris en compte une loi de Louisiane qui exigeait que là où l’évolution était enseignée à l’école publique, la « science créationniste » (bien que cette terminologie ait été cassée par le cas McLean vs Arkansas en 1982) devait également être enseignée.
Fundamentalist–modernist controversyThe fundamentalist–modernist controversy is a major schism that originated in the 1920s and 1930s within the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. At issue were foundational disputes about the role of Christianity; the authority of the Bible; and the death, resurrection, and atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Two broad factions within Protestantism emerged: fundamentalists, who insisted upon the timeless validity of each doctrine of Christian orthodoxy; and modernists, who advocated a conscious adaptation of the Christian faith in response to the new scientific discoveries and moral pressures of the age.
Intelligent designerAn intelligent designer, also referred to as an intelligent agent, is the pseudoscientific hypothetical willed and self-aware entity that the intelligent design movement argues had some role in the origin and/or development of life. The term "intelligent cause" is also used, implying their teleological supposition of direction and purpose in features of the universe and of living things. The popularly termed intelligent design movement is a neo-creationist campaign that arose out of the Christian fundamentalist creation science movement.
Jewish views on evolutionJewish views on evolution includes a continuum of views about the theory of evolution, experimental evolution, the origin of life, age of the universe, evolutionary creationism, and theistic evolution. Today, many Jewish people accept the theory of evolution and do not see it as incompatible with traditional Judaism, reflecting the emphasis of prominent rabbis such as the Vilna Gaon and Maimonides on the ethical rather than factual significance of scripture. Biblical chronology indicates that God completed the creation of the world close to 6,000 years ago.
Adnan OktarAdnan Oktar, pseudonyme Harun Yahya, (Ankara, 1956) est une des figures centrales du créationnisme en Turquie. Il est considéré comme le défenseur majeur du créationnisme dans le monde musulman ; il souscrit au créationnisme vieille terre. Il est anti-sioniste et anti-maçon, considérant que la franc-maçonnerie et le sionisme sont deux mouvements fortement interconnectés. Il rejette les accusations d'antisémite formulées à son égard, déclarant que l'antisémitisme a pour origine le paganisme et le darwinisme, mais il est aussi reconnu comme un négationniste, avec son livre Soykırım Yalanı (« L'imposture du génocide »).
Sternberg peer review controversyThe Sternberg peer review controversy concerns the conflict arising from the publication of an article supporting pseudoscientific intelligent design creationism in a scientific journal, and the subsequent questions of whether proper editorial procedures had been followed and whether it was properly peer reviewed. One of the primary criticisms of the intelligent design movement is that there are no research papers supporting their positions in peer reviewed scientific journals. On 4 August 2004, an article by Stephen C.
