Creationism, evolution, what do you believe? what does you church teach?

The problem with your question is the use of the word "creationism" which was used in the 1970's for a specific group of ideas, such as the idea the earth was only 6000 years old, and that the Noah's Ark flood was responsible for various sedimentary evidence, (which is not the same thing as the current intelligent design theories). The scientists who came up with the intelligent design theories all accept the general scientific consensus on the age of the universe and the fact of the Big Bang theory. Many of these scientists point out that the Big Bang theory (which disproves one of Darwin's central ideas- that the universe always existed) brings the concept of kalam back into the picture, something Darwin tried to exclude from the picture when he asserted that the universe always existed. It's important to realize however that some of Darwin's ideas, such as Natural Selection as a mechanism for determining which traits or species survive to reproduce, is a proven fact of science. There's room for both ideas, but too many people are insisting on accepting one to the exclusion of the other.

I teach evolution. The church that I'm a member of (an independent protestant fundamentalist congregation) takes the Bible at its literal word, so, you can say they preach creationism. I don't believe anything about either one. I can fairly accept the evidence given for evolution, and fairly reject the lack of evidence for creationism. How's that for dichotomy ... I teach and accept evolution and am a member of a fundamentalist church that preaches creationism.

Creation and evolution are direct opposites . Can you imagine a Christian church preaching that the bible is nothing but a bunch of baloney ?

Or a great scientist claiming that all the evidence and fossils are fake , we were really made out of lumps of mud .

I was raised Catholic:

Creationism is the Catholic doctrine that each individual human soul is created by God, as opposed to traducianism.

It's different entirely for protestants.

Catholics can believe in evolution, especially since it's parallels genesis nicely. God didn't snap his fingers and bam! the whole world. It was a week long process.

But personally I believe Panspermia is the true answer. Which doesn't exclude deifactation or evolution.

Evolution is not an Origin of Life explanation either as you present it

Educate yourself!

Evolution, because ALL of the evidence supports it. The "controversy" is strictly "religious," that is, certain vested religious interests feel that the idea of evolution conflicts with their beliefs about the origin of mankind, so they've organized a campaign to discredit it. Science is indifferent to religious beliefs. Scientists are neither gunning for or against a conclusion that jibes with religion; they're simply investigating nature on its own terms.

I believe in evolution. I know it doesn't mean the Lord did not make the world, it just means he made it in a different way than Adam and Eve. The Catholic religion preaches of evolution.

I believe in both to a degree depending on the situation.

When dealing with human life and the universe. I believe in creationism. People and nature changes (ie human life live longer, grow taller, various aspects change) biologically but mammals do not evolve to becoming different kind of animals.

(If they in fact did...why do we not see monkeys evolving today to becoming humans)

If Christians taught evolutionism how do they rationalize the great creation as taught in the Bible being that everything was created in seven days?

(Granted in public schools often it is mandated to teach the theory of evolution as fact...while in fact it is theory)

Evolution is a scientific fact. There may be some details that are open to scientific and religious debate, but the core tenant that life forms around today evolved from lower forms is not.

evolution i do not believe the 6 day fairy tale and the creation fairy land in kentucky is a joke it makes the usa look like fools all around the world

Evolution. My church (when I go) is the Unitarian Universalist Church and they pretty much also follow evolution, though they don't teach it.
