one question
Just a quick question.
Does anyone on earth believe in creationism other than Christian? Are there scientists in Japan, India, or anywhere else that claim the earth is no more than 10,000 years old, and evolution does not occur? It seems yo me that if creationists cannot demonstrate that a large body of scientists of varying religions (or lack of) support their theory, then they cannot claim that it is strong enough to compete with evolution, or to be taught in schools. |

Hello Butters,
Here's a web site that discusses some of the other forms of creationism: <a href="http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/wic.html" target="_blank">http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/wic.html</a> scigirl |

There are Muslim "creation scientists" like Harun Yahya.
Some Hindus have the opposite belief -- they believe that our species has been around for several hundred million years. The film "The Mysterious Origins of Man" expresses that view. |
