Introduction
Throughout time, creation and evolution have been fiercely disputed, ever since the late 1700's.
First of all there are a few groups who believe in such things, main groups being. New Earth Creationist, Old World Creationists, Scientific View and the Theistic evolution View.

New Earth creationists believe that the earth, its life forms, and the rest of the universe were created by God during a six day, 144 hour, interval, fewer than 10,000 years ago. Only very minor changes within various species have happened since creation. No new species have evolved or been created. In North America, this belief system is mainly promoted by Christians who believe that God Inspired the authors of the Hebrew Scriptures (a.k.a. Old Testament) to write inerrant text.
Old Earth creationists believe that geology and radiometric dating has shown that the world is billions of years old. They believe that God created the Earth itself, the earth's life forms, and the rest of the universe at that time. Those old earth creationists who believe in the literal interpretation of an inerrant Bible interpret the six "day" creation interval as occupying a very long interval of time.
Scientific viewed people think the origin of the universe occurred about 15 billion years ago. The earth coalesced about 4.5 billion years ago. Life subsequently began, probably as bacteria deep in rocks, and has been evolving ever since. These various processes have been driven by purely natural forces, without input from a God or a Goddess or multiple deities.
Theistic evolution viewed people think that Evolution, etc. happened just as scientists believe. However, it is viewed as a tool created, used, directed, and/or controlled by God in order to accomplish a higher purpose -- the creation of humans. This includes Intelligent Design, A.K.A (ID).
