Creationism is believed to be the story and teachings of the bible. Creationism and intelligent design are different terms as they only try to explain the same thing in different ways. Creationism believes the universe and all things in it were created by a supreme being which is God.

Intelligent design does not believe in theological assumptions but relies on methods within the scientific community. Intelligent design does not believe anyone is the founder of the universe. Creationism believes there are the young-earth creationists and old-earth creationists.

The young-earth creationism bases their findings on the bible, where it was written that God created the earth in six days. Intelligent design theorist believes organism show clear scientific evidence of design.

The idea behind creationism is that God created the earth and the rest of the universe in six days. It is a concept that is the premise and focus of the Bible, the sacred text in religion. Creationists insist that everything exists because of God, and Creationists do not take credence with the notion of the evolutionary process.

Intelligent design theorists, on the other hand, supports the claims of the evolutionary process. They also argue that life on earth started with plant and animal species, which came into existence because of a scientifically produced intelligent cause. People who believe strictly in science say that it is not feasible for a divine presence to create the earth.

The belief in creationism is based on the bible and its teachings. The bible said that God created the earth and all other planets in the universe in six days. Some creationists do not believe Adam and Eve were the first human beings to be created.

However, all creationists agree that every living thing in the world was created by the Almighty one. The theory of intelligent design supports the idea that the universe, as well as animal and plant species, emerged as a result of the evolutionary process.

Intelligent design theorists argue with the creationists, saying that life on earth was not made by a divine being, such as God. They also claim that the delicate and intricate features of different plants and animals prove that they came to be present as a result of the birth of science.
