Was that there are two legitimate theories for explaining the origin of
the universe.
These theories are as follows:

Not only has Einstein’s theory of Gravitation disproved that, but so have the discoveries made by our
own Hubble Space Telescope.

- Claims that a higher being (Often referred to as a “God”) created the universe, which has no scientific basis whatsoever

Flaws of Random ChanceFlaws of Random Chance
Random Chance goes against some basic and established laws of physics and nature such as:
The Law of Causality (observed effects require a related cause)

The two theories can be summarized into this:

Creation is:
The theory that creation occurred in the ways that are described in the christian, jewish, or islam book of Genesis.

Random Chance (Or “The Big Bang”) is:
The idea that the universe was compacted into a little cosmic ball that subsequently exploded with a big bang into everything that exists today.

I feel like I’ve learned a lot about the Big Bang, but not too much about this “Creationism” idea.

Creationists…Creationists…
Often agree with the ideas of Charles Darwin, the man on the left.
It was commonly accepted 1929 when it adapted ideas of the Christian fundamentalist and literalist movements and made something combining the two.

Of course, nowadays there are newer Creationalists, or

Of course, nowadays there are newer Creationalists, or
“Neo-creationalists”They are a newer version of the creationalist movement that is
arguing against scientists. They agree with standard creationalist theories but argue that scientific
theories of evolution and creation do not leave room for religious
interpretation(s).

But even neo-creationalist ideas aren’t taught in schools.
A long time ago, origin form creation ideas were taught, but the Scope Trials outlawed such a practice.
