A theory 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 unconstitutional an attempt
in Arkansas schools to enforce equal
treatment to creationism and evolutionary
theory.
