This is a belief which was invented to explain why we are all here. Basically it states that the world was created by some greater being (God). But then who created God? The theory of Creationsim falls flat through stating the Earth is thousands of years old, despite the fact it was proved to be billions of years old through scientific research. Creationists mock the theory of evolution and condemn the teaching of evolution at school. Evolution seems like the most sensible theory to me. Ah, but then howcome there are so many gaps in the evolutionary pathway? For one thing, it is a real fluke that an animal survives in fossil form, a billion-to-one chance requiring exactly the right geological conditions. Yes, we have a lot of skeletons in museums, but they are nothing when you consider how many animals have existed over the history of time. For another thing, it has been suggested that evolution takes place in jumps rather than gradually (a new, more evolved species suddenly starts appearing, gradualy takes over the older species). As for the teaching of evolution at school, it is taught as a theory. You don't have to believe in it. On the other hand, teaching Creationism at school involves indoctrinating children. I still remember being told that "God is always watching us and can punish us if we act or think wrongly". It makes me laugh when certain Creationists complain about CCTV cameras everywhere or the government spying on us all. Beliefs like Creationism were the Big Brother and the CCTV cameras of their day, were used to control the working classes. Now George W Bush is talking about teaching Creationism in schools in the USA instead of evolution. I can't help feeling all he really wants to do is create a brainwashed army to fight a religious war against Muslims.
A certain Creationism-believing journalist equates anyone who believes in evolution with genocidal murderers, tells us how narrow-minded they are. That's funny, because the religious people I've met are some of the most narrow-minded, snobbish, hypoctrical bigots I've ever had the misfortune the come across.

Get the creationist mug.Old earth creationism is a branch of creationism that holds to much of the secular dates assigned to the earth. Many hold to the day age idea that the creation days (Hebrew yom) could be eons or so of time. They reject macroevolution, particularly darwinian, and state that all creatures, including tiktallik, were either created by God or microevolved .

Get the old earth creationism mug.Someone so afraid of the idea that there isn't a god that they delude themselves into thinking the Bible is fact and science is mythology. Not to be mistaken with religious people as that would validate what is no more than a mental problem.
Creationists' fear leads them to forget that their god is omniscient and lie, attack, brainwash, and suppress the truth, thus earning themselves a place in the Hell of their choosing.

Get the creationist mug.(noun) A person who labels a piece of fiction such as a book, TV show, or movie as being too "political", "preachy" or "woke" for it's social commentary, when in reality, the person simply dislikes it because it doesn't personally match their own politics or beliefs. The same way Christian creationists deny scientific evidence because it doesn't fit their religious beliefs.
Person 1: Dude, have you seen the new Watchmen on HBO? It's fucking fake "woke" political garbage. Don't waste your time.
Person 2: You do know that the graphic novel and Snyder's movie were both extremely political, right? That's the theme of the whole thing. Politics.
Person 1: Whatever! "Wokemen" is still lame!
Person 2: Man, you're seriously starting to sound like a Cultural Creationist!

Get the Cultural Creationist mug.The Joy of Creation; Story Mode is a long-ish, single-player game with 5 levels, in each level introducing up to 5 unique characters introducing each different types of attacks and attempting to ruthlessly murdering you.

Freddy comes from the window, trying to peek in your room. When he does look into your bedroom, you have almost no time to close the window before he lets himself in and kills you. Bonnie comes from the door, knocking once, twice, thrice, and after the 3rd knock, enters. You need to turn off the bed and lay, or sit, down. After a while he will leave. Chica comes from the closet. Turn the light off, and frequently glance at her. Foxy comes from under the bed, when he places the hook on the bed, turn the light off, and go to sleep (Via, laying down and sleeping.)
