Many sides of the Discussion

The scope of our task includes:

This page provides an overview of many different beliefs about matters of "Origins", organised as an index. Christadelphians belong in the columns on the right hand side.

ATHEISM AGNOSTICISM THEISM
Evolutionary Creationism Old Earth Creationism Young Earth Creationism
without "gap" with "gap"
GOD, THE CREATOR does not exist may exist, may not exists
COSMIC HISTORY Big Bang(s),
multiple universes 		Big Bang(s),
multiple universes,
creation? 		creation,
Big Bang possible,
multiple universes possible 		Everything created 6,000 years ago
AGE OF THE EARTH 4,000,000,000 years 6,000 years
ORIGIN OF LIFE abiogenesis,
panspermia
or unknown 		abiogenesis,

ORIGIN OF SPECIES evolution evolution, macro-evolution, micro-evolution
and creation of species all possible 		creation of species
sometimes creation of kinds or “baramins” with micro‐evolution within them
WORLD-WIDE FLOOD
5,000 years ago 		no unlikely possible probable
WITNESS OF SCRIPTURE no somewhat trustworthy & authoritative, but requiring interpretation
WITNESS OF CREATION no possible trustworthy & authoritative, but requiring study suspicious unreliable deceptive to the unfaithful
CREATED DECEPTIONS,
TO TEST FAITH 		rubbish no possible probable yes
"Appearance of Age|APPEARANCE OF AGE"
(created to seem old, but isn't) 		no usually
Flood Geology|FLOOD GEOLOGY no unlikely possible usually
RAPID EVOLUTION AFTER UNIVERSAL FLOOD no possible usually Often no. Sometimes yes, with much micro-evolution.
NATURE & ROLE OF SCIENCE the only show in town essential glorifies the Creator good in its way, a blessing not to be abused dangerous human pride
UNIFORMITARIANISM yes partly only in biology
INTELLIGENT DESIGN no unlikely possible usually
SCIENCE CONSPIRACY no possible probable yes
