There is no evidence for a literal six-day creation, and considerable scientific evidence that there could not have been a six-day creation. Even the sequence of events in the six-day creation story in Genesis chapter 1 is scientifically wrong - such as the sun and stars being created after the earth already existed.

Who discovered creationism?
Creationism in one sense has always existed where there has been belief in the one true God of the Bible. He is first and foremost the almighty and all-wise creator. The standard Bible view on creation was effectively the only view until around the time of Charles Darwin. The recent creationist movement began around the mid-20th century. A number of names stand out as those who began this movement. Seventh Day Adventist Dr. George McReady Price espoused in a number of works views supporting a literal 6-day creation. Alfred M Rehwinkel, a Lutheran, wrote a book simply entitled "The Flood." Probably the best known work was that of Dr John Whitcomb and Dr Henry Morris entitled "The Genesis Flood" (1961). This work is commonly recognized as starting the modern creationist movement.
What was the creation of the world?
Day by day, God created the universe and its contents (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30).Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics. See the Talmud, Hagigah 11b.On day 1: God created the universe in general, light, and this Earth. The light was not the same as that of the sun. Rather, it was light that God created before the sun, and which emanated from a point in space without any physical source; like what we might term a "white hole."On day 2: God created the separation between the Earth and the upper atmosphere.On day 3: God separated the continents from the oceans, and created plants.On day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars.On day 5: God created birds and fish.On day 6: God created animals and people.On day 7: God ceased creating, thereby creating the concept of rest.See also:Is there evidence for Creation?Can you show that God exists?Seeing God's wisdom
The 6 day creation story?
The story has different interpretations depending on which bible is being used as well as who is doing the interpreting. The first five days of creation are much the same in most bibles. It has always been my understanding that there were 7 days of creation. It's on the 6th day when the story seems to take a bit of a twist. God says '..let us make man in our image..'. For some scholars, it is believed and taught that God is simply 'stating'' that He is going to be creating man in His image but did not actually do it on the 6th day. On the 7th day God rested. So now we have 5 consecutive days of creation, and two days when God did not work, the 6th and the 7th.. Immediately following God's day off, the story says that God prepared a garden and begins the forming of Adam. Clearly, it is another day and God is back at work again. Although it is actually the 8th consecutive day, it is widely accepted as being the 6th day of creation. This particular interpretation seems somewhat incomplete. The story of creation as I have known it, was that God did in fact create ' mankind ' on the 6th day, that is to say He populated the entire earth with people of all races. It also seems to make the timeline more accurate. Six consecutive days of creation, the 7th day of rest and the creation of Adam and Eve on the following day. This seems more sensible of an interpretation. A point of interest happened while Caine was argueing with God saying that he had no place to go and that "..they will surely kill me.." Who are " ..they?". Certainly, there were other people on the earth before Adam and Eve.

Is Biblical literalism a component of Orthodox Judaism?
Not really. Jews generally understand that the Bible uses figurative terminology. When the text uses phrases like the "hand of God," it is not speaking of a literal hand with five fingers, complete with fingernails that grow and need clipping. When the text says that "Man was made in God's image," it does not imply a literal image. The great 12th century sage Rabbi Moses ben Maimon (known as Rambam or Maimonides) said that anyone who takes the first chapter of Genesis literally is a fool. He held that until someone shows him evidence otherwise, he would accept as literal days the 6 days of creation, but he also made it clear that, given evidence to the contrary, he would not have difficulty accepting that element of the story figuratively.
Do Mormons believe in the bibical creation?
Yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe in the Biblical account of the creation as written in Genesis of the King James Version of the Bible. Some Mormons believe in a literal 6 day creation, but it seems most Mormons believe that 'days' is to be translated into periods of about 1,000 years, as the Bible sas that one day in heaven is a thousand years on earth. (see 2 Peter 3:8) Mormons also have a second account of the creation which is very similar to the Genesis account. It is used less often and is found in the Pearl of Great Price, Book of Moses Chapter 2. (A link to read it is found under "Related Links" below)
