- Literalist View, Christians and jews who accept this view believe creation happened as the Bible states. 1 it took God 6 days, each of 24 hours to create the world. 2. Adam was the first man frmed from the dust of the earth, 3. Eve the first woman, as formed from Adam's rib. Believers of this see a conflict between science and religion
- Non-literalist View,. Christians and Jews who accept this view believe that the fact that God created the world is more important than how God created the world. They also accept that the Bible is poetic. Therefore; 1 the bible account is not literal but does state that God created the world, 2 the time f creation wasn't in 6 days lastin 24 hours each. Believers of this see n real conflict beween science and religion and can see how both waeave together 2 give a full pic of life and the earth
