                    The Neo-Creationist Manifesto
     
                Version 1.01 - Your comments are invited.


 1. There is one God, the God of the Bible, Who created the universe.

 2. As part of His universe, He created matter, and the elegant laws of
    physics which govern its operation.

 3. Through these laws of physics, operating on original matter, He
    created the material universe, with stars and planets, as it now
    exists.

 4. Breathing spirit into matter, God created life on earth, in all
    its myriad forms, culminating in man, His highest creation
    on the earth. 

 5. The Biblical account of Creation is true and correct, with the
    understanding that it was written for pre-scientific people, and God
    used poetic imagery to communicate His ideas. Since human time has
    no meaning to God, the six-day Creation described in Genesis does
    not mean six 24-hour days as we know them, but rather six periods of
    time.

 6. The word "evolution" refers to genetic changes in life forms over
    time, resulting in outward changes of these life forms. The record  
    of evolution of species is the record of God's handiwork in creating
    His desired life forms.

 7. The "theory of evolution" refers to a process of genetic change in
    organisms, followed by natural selection among these organisms, 
    resulting in certain changes in the population of these organisms.
    Thus, moth populations have changed color, and other similar events 
    have been observed scientifically. This process was created by God, 
    to accomplish the continuous "fine tuning" of His created beings into 
    their environments.

 8. The theory of evolution, however, does not explain the origin of
    life, which was accomplished by God, himself, according to His will.

 9. Although it can be shown that life forms changed over time in
    an evolutionary way, resulting in the different species of life we
    see today, these major changes were caused and directed by God,
    Himself, during His time of Creation, and not by the process of 
    genetic change and natural selection known as theory of evolution.

10. The purpose of God's Creation on earth is to set the stage for
    man, created in His image, to rule and control the earth.
