创造论与科学

创造论与进化论的争议是有关生命起源是用创造论或是进化论（智能设计）来诠释的争议，也和人类、地球甚至宇宙起源有关，是经常出现的文化，政治和神学的争议^[1]。此处的“创造论”一般专指基督教中的创造论，也就是相信圣经创世纪所记载：人类、生物、地球及宇宙是由上帝所创造，而进化论则认为生物及人类是因着生物世代之间的变异现象，由其他物种演变而来，是科学界的主流理论。目前对生物与人类起源的问题，存在有强烈的科学共识支持演化论。绝大多数的科学社群和学术团体，都认为演化论是唯一能完全满足在生物学、古生物学、分子生物学、遗传学、人类学及其他各领域中所观察到的现象的理论。^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]一项在1991年所作的盖洛普民调显示，只有大约5%的科学家（包括生物学领域以外的其他科学家）认为自己是创造论者。^[7]^[8]截至目前为止，没有任何反对演化论且经过科学方面同行审查的论文，名列科学与医学期刊搜索引擎PubMed当中^[9]；但在学术界以外的地方，依旧有许多人相信演化论以外的其他解释。一项2009年由皮尤研究中心做的调查显示，“几乎所有的科学家（97%）都认为，人类和其他的动物是透过演化而变成现在的样子的，87%的科学家认为，这过程是自然发生的，包含了诸如天择等的过程；然而科学界的主流观点，也就是生物是透过天择等过程演化来的这点，并非一般大众普遍的看法，只有大约三分之一（32%）的民众相信演化论。”^[10]

创造论与进化论的争议在美国是很大的议题，在欧洲和其他地区也造成一些争议^[11]，亦被视为是文化战争的一部分^[12]。
