Creationism is a belief system which postulates that the universe, Earth, and life on Earth were deliberately created by an intelligent being. There are a spectrum of creationist views with two main schools of creation thought known as religious creationism and intelligent design. Religious Creationism is the belief that the universe and life on Earth were created by an almighty deity. The position has a deep rooted foundation in scripture, which is relied upon for insights regarding the history of the world. Within the creationism camp can be found young earth and old earth advocates. Intelligent design (ID) infers that natural laws and chance alone are not adequate to explain all natural phenomena. It is not governed by religious doctrine, nor does it makes claims about who the creator was. ID uses no religious texts when forming theories about the history of the world. ID simply postulates that the universe possesses evidence that it was intelligently designed.
The Bible describes the days of creation involving the heavens and the earth as well as animals and mankind in Genesis chapters 1 and 2 as occurring over the course of seven days, which includes a day of rest. In fact our calendar week is based exclusively on this sequence of creation events.
The account in Genesis 1 meticulously describes the creation including what was specifically made on each day. Although many people argue that the days of the creation week should not be taken literally, the events are described in terms that are correlated with definitions of time. Since God created time and language, it is reasonable to assume that the most straightforward reading of these passages should take place.
Hugh Norman Ross is a leading old-earth creationist, holding to a Day-age view known as Progressive Creationism. He earned a B.Sc. in physics from the University of British Columbia and an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Toronto. For several years he conducted research on quasars and galaxies as a post-doctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology.
For eleven years he served as minister of evangelism at Sierra Madre Congregational Church. Today he directs the efforts of Reasons To Believe. He also hosts a weekly television program called "Reasons To Believe" on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, and a weekly radio Web cast.
Over the years Dr. Ross has given hundreds of lectures, seminars, and courses—both in the United States and abroad—on Christian apologetics.

Evolution is not merely a biological theory of little significance. It is a world view—the world view diametrically opposing the Christian world view. Therefore Christians ignore it or compromise with it at great peril! — Dr. Henry Morris, The Long War Against God, Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, MI, 1989, p. 23
