- "Creationism" can also refer to origin beliefs in general, or to an alternative of traducianism.
In the Abrahamic religions, creationism is the belief that humans, life, the Earth, and the universe have a miraculous origin in a deity or supreme being's supernatural intervention. This intervention may be seen either as an act of creation from nothing (ex nihilo), or as the emergence of order from pre-existing chaos (demiurge). In modern usage, the term creationism has come to be specifically associated with the brand of conservative Christian fundamentalism which conflicts with various aspects of evolution, cosmology, and other natural sciences that address the origins of the natural world.
Many who hold creationist beliefs consider them to be an aspect of religious faith which is compatible with, or otherwise unaffected by, scientific descriptions. However, creationism in common usage typically connotes a religious, political, and social campaign—for instance, in education—to assert the dominance or widespread acceptance of a spiritual view of nature and of humanity's place in it. This view is often contrasted with certain interpretations of the scientific method or naturalism that are rejected by such creationists as materialistic, secular, or even antireligious.
