Creationist
Creationists are people who hold to the belief that the universe and life on Earth were created by God. Creationism typically stems from a religious worldview, and most creationists use information provided by religious texts when forming theories regarding the nature of the world. Jews and Christians rely upon the Bible as an insightful reference, whereas Muslims use the Qur'an. In contrast, intelligent design is not religiously based, but instead argues exclusively from emperical evidence that the universe was created.
Creation science is philosophically based on the presupposition of a creation event. Within the creationist community there are those who belief the earth is young, and others who accept modern age dating techniques as valid indicators of an old earth. While most scientists today are atheists, there are a great many scientists alive today and from history who are creationists.
