As a general meaning, the term Creationist refers to a person, usually a Cristian, who believes God created the world. In most cases it refers to a Young- Earth creationist. These people believe that God created the world as described in The Bible, with all living things created as they are today. Most of these creationists belive that the world is about 6,000 years old, based on a very literal interpretation of the Bible. Some have different opinions, though, claiming the world is as much as a few hundred thousand years old.

Evolutionists belive that life changes over the course of generations, with new species emerging gradually as mutations and differing survival rates alter the gene pool. Unlike creationists, evolutionists believe the world to be between 4.5 and 4.6 billion years old based on isotope dating.

It largely depends on your position on evolution. If you are a creationist, you are more likely to lean toward preservation of life as God made it.

Which one came first the egg or the chicken?

It depends if your a creationist or an evolutionist. If your a creationist, you would belive that god created man and all animals. It wouldn't make sense for god to make an egg, so it would be the chicken. If your a evolutionist, you belive that animals evolved from other animals, so either way, it's the chicken.


Most evolutionists support the view that man came from monkeydo you agree or disagree?

The very definition of evolutionist would require this outlook. The definition of creationist would require the belief in special divine creation. (Actually man came from apes not monkeys - if you're going to argue get your facts straight)
