Question
Answer
literal view   The belief that the Creation week was six consecutive twenty-four-hour periods.  
🗑
gap theory   The belief that there was a long period of time between events of Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.  
🗑
long-day theory   The belief that each day of the Creation week was actually a long period of time (millions or billions of years).  
🗑
progressive creationsism   The belief that God created life in stages over a long period of time and that evolution and extinction occurred in the intervals between the creative acts  
🗑
theistic evolution   The interpretation of the Bible proposing that God used evolution as His means of creation.  
🗑
fossil   Any evidence or remains of an organism preserved by natural means.  
🗑
biological evolution   The supposed gradual change of one kind of organism into another kind of organism over many generations.  
🗑
theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics   Lamarck's theory that physical changes caused by an organism's environment can be passed on to offspring.  
🗑
theory of natural selction   Darwin's idea that only organisms best suited for their environment will survive and reproduce, causing certain traits to become more common in a population  
🗑
descent with modification   A component of evolutionary theory that newer organisms are the modified descendants of much older organisms.  
🗑
mutation selection theory (Neo-Darwinism)   The theory that mutations produce variations and that natural selection determines which variations will survive to produce biological evolution.  
🗑
intelligent design   The theory that nature shows evidence of design that could not have been the result of biological evolution alone and that there must have been a designer at some point.  
🗑
evolutionary family tree   A diagram showing the supposed progression of biological evolution.  
🗑
common ancestor   A hypothetical organism that evolutionists claim gave rise to two or more types of organisms; see also missing link  
🗑
homologous structure   Similar structures found in different species that evolutionists attribute to common ancestry and creationists to common design.  
🗑
vestigial structure   A structure that, according to evolutionists, no longer has an important function and will disappear in future generations.  
🗑
speciation   The forming of a new species.  
🗑
adaptation   An inheritable characteristic that helps an organism survive; according to evolutionists, the change of an organism that enables it to survive in a new environment and contributes to its evolution.  
🗑
