- 1創造論（也有人說神創論；人是創造論者，不是這個 -ism）
Creationism is a belief, not a person. It is the idea that God made the universe — and, in the usual school-and-church telling, the first people and animals — in the way the Bible describes, rather than through life changing slowly over a very long time. A person who holds this belief is a : the - is the idea; the -ist is the person. You will meet the word in religion, in the news, and in arguments about what children should learn in science class. It is a serious, formal word. Though actually, people who say God made the world do not all mean the same thing. Some read the Bible’s days as real days; others take it more as a story about God as maker, and they may still accept a very old earth.
組成creation（從拉丁文 creare，「造出」）+ -ism（一套信念或主張）。-ism 這截是經希臘文進到英語的。
