S. government is based upon that belief, while other governments, such as communism and Marxism is based on accidental evolution (Benen 2001).

This belief system appears to be the extreme, however it is a popular one among creationists.

According to the National Academy of Sciences, "The theory of evolution explains how life on earth has changed...In scientific terms, 'theory' does not mean 'guess' or 'hunch'...Scientific theories are explanations of natural phenomena built up logically from testable observations and hypotheses" (Benen 2001). Biological evolution is the best scientific explanation for the vast range of observations about the living world, thus "the occurrence of evolution in this sense is a fact," because scientists no longer question whether descent with modification occurred since there is so much strong evidence to support the idea (Benen 2001).


Since no one knows how long a "day" actually was in the Book of Genesis, it could well have been eons. Thus, perhaps, even if God created the universe, it may have well evolved over thousands of years, rather than six days, which would support, at least in part, the theory of evolution. Neither theory explains the "nothingness" before the cosmic bang or before God decided to give light. It is doubtful that humans will ever know the true origin of life, however it is certain that the debate will continue into the next millenniums.
