Baptizing the article
If we are to baptize (ie, Christianize) this article, we would need to state the official position of each denomination that has an official position. I imagine that most, if not all, would embrace some form of creationism. However, this ranges all the way from Young Earth Creationism (which denies a lot of science) to Theistic Evolution (which accepts all science but also affirms that God is the creator of the universe). There is a whole series on creationism at Wikipedia that should be considered.

An odd theory is gap creationism: it reinterprets Genesis 1 as "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Thirteen billion years later, the earth was void and without form."

There is also the whole controversy about Intelligent Design, and whether it is science or a form of natural theology.

It should be noted that when Erasmus Darwin was talking about a "first cause," he was using a philosphical description of God. Archola 16:15, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
