Creationism

Creationism is the belief that God literally created the world in seven days, as described in the Book of Genesis. Christian denominations are split on whether or not Genesis' story of Adam and Eve and the Creation is factual. Many Protestant denominations side with a literal translation of the Bible, and adhere to Creationism, while others, most notably the Roman Catholic Church, once accepted Creationism but have since reversed their views and now see it as simply a story in light of new evidence, specifically the Theory of Evolution.
