Rejection of evolution by religious groups
Recurring cultural, political, and theological rejection of evolution by religious groups exists regarding the origins of the Earth, of humanity, and of other life. In accordance with creationism, species were once widely believed to be fixed products of divine creation, but since the mid-19th century, evolution by natural selection has been established by the scientific community as an empirical scientific fact.
Teach the Controversy
The "teach the controversy" campaign of the Discovery Institute seeks to promote the pseudoscientific principle of intelligent design (a variant of traditional creationism) as part of its attempts to discredit the teaching of evolution in United States public high school science courses. Scientific organizations (including the American Association for the Advancement of Science) point out that the institute claims that there is a scientific controversy where in fact none exists.
Créationnisme Jeune-Terre
Le créationnisme Jeune-Terre est la forme la plus stricte du créationnisme, qui interprète la Bible d'un point de vue littéral. Cette croyance postule que le récit de la création de l’Univers tel que fourni par les textes religieux donne une description littéralement et scientifiquement exacte de l’origine de l’Univers. Cette interprétation littérale de textes comme la Genèse s’appuie sur la croyance en l'inerrance biblique, autrement dit, la conviction que ces textes ont été comme vérités absolues, définitives et indiscutables.
Creation science
Creation 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.
