    The trouble is that you can't know who is really Christian and who is merely claiming to be.

    All Christians believe that God created the universe... the question is how. Literalists believe that God created the universe in 6 24 hour days. Most believe that God created using whichever ways science will eventually tell us. The current theories of the Big Bang, abiogenesis and evolution are the front runners but we believe that NONE of them could have occurred without an intelligent guide to the process. Genesis 1 can easily be seen to support this view.

    I am not able to provide any percentage. But I have some thoughts on the subject.

    -- -- -- -- --

    I am shocked when a so-called Christian says they do not believe the Genesis account of creation.

    Or the so-called Christians who inappropriately says they do not believe the six days of creation were 24-hour days by misquoting the bible verse that says "a day is like a 1000 years to God." (That verse only purports to illustrate that God is timeless, and lives outside of our time dimension.)

    This is the equivalent to calling God a liar.

    The Genesis account goes to some length to explain, "and there was night and there was morning, another day." It is as if the author went out of his way to make sure the reader understood these were 24-hour days.

    God says he created the universe with everything in it in six 24-hour days. And that is also what Jesus believes and Jesus was there.

    So how can anyone who claims to be a Christian say otherwise? It is the same thing as calling God a liar.

    If God had the ability to speak the entire universe into existence, without exerting any effort whatsoever, then why would he need more time to get this done? It makes no sense whatsoever.

    How can anyone who calls God a liar, at the same time say that they believe in Jesus as their personal savior?

    Maybe this is where we apply the consequences of Matthew 7:21-23?

    === Satan says the universe "evolved" over millions of years.

    === God says he created the universe in 6 (24-hour) days.

    WHO ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE? I know who I believe, and I make no excuses about it. No room for compromises. No reason to suggest God needed more time to do it.

    If it helps Christians to understand this, it would be okay to say that God created a 50-billion-year-old universe in six (24-hour) days. And when God created Adam, Adam was likely about 20 years old, and created in 1 day. Adam was already potty-trained, and already knew the language. Because that's the way God created him.

    Let me tell you something VERY SHOCKING about the condition of our Seminaries, and how corrupted they have become. When someone wants to pursue a career in ministry, they typically attend a Seminary to obtain advanced biblical training and instruction.

    Out of roughly 105 seminaries in the USA, there are only about five (5) of them that actually believe and teach a literal interpretation of the Genesis account of creation. I find that SHOCKINGLY DISTURBING.

    Satan has been hard at work to corrupt the minds of people who purport to be "believers."

    "The god of this world (who is Satan) has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God." (2 Corinthians 4:4)

    So don't be surprised if you hear someone claim they studied theology at a Seminary, and they also believe in evolution. NOW YOU KNOW WHY.

  • all Christians believe God created all things, dear.

  • What type of creationism are you talking about? There is Young Earth Creationism, Old Earth Creationism, Evolutionary Creationism, etc. As a Christian you have to believe in some type of Creationism, it isn't negotiable.
