I wanted to have a discussion and perhaps a clarification on what the definition of creationism is.
​
After consulting my colleague, Mr. Dictionary, I was informed that:
Websters writes:
​
cre”a”tion”ism n : a doctrine or theory holding that matter, the various forms of life, and the world were created by God out of nothing ” cre”a”tion”ist \-nist\ n or adj
I believe that the universe was created out of nothing by God...yet I am not so sure about the aspects of life on Earth--Biological Evolution is no threat to my Christian WorldView.
​
So am I a "creationist" by definition or am I an "evolutionist" by definition? Perhaps Mr. Ex-Nihilio can help me with this one!
​
(Miss. topics sounds good to me)
