Within the main schools of thought lies differing beliefs with regard to the manifestations of the creation (i.e. universe, organisms, humans). [[Universal creationism]] is a fundamental tenet of the major monotheistic religions. [[Human creationism]] is also a tenet expressed or implied. Some form of [[biological creationism]] with the creator identified as God has traditionally been believed among adherents of the major monotheistic religions. Because of the acceptance of [[evolutionism]] among many intellectuals, [[biological creationism]] has lost influence. However, in recent decades a movement has arisen to defend creationism on theological, philosophical, and scientific grounds. This is commonly called simply ''creationism''. | Within the main schools of thought lies differing beliefs with regard to the manifestations of the creation (i.e. universe, organisms, humans).
