==Biblical basis== The basis for many creationists' beliefs is a [[Biblical literalism|literal]] or quasi-literal interpretation of the [[Book of Genesis]]. The [[Genesis creation narrative]]s (Genesis 1β2) describe how [[God]] brings the Universe into being in a series of creative acts over six days and places the first man and woman ([[Adam and Eve]]) in the [[Garden of Eden]]. This story is the basis of creationist cosmology and biology. The [[Genesis flood narrative]] (Genesis 6β9) tells how God destroys the world and all life through a great flood, saving representatives of each form of life by means of [[Noah's Ark]]. This forms the basis of creationist geology, better known as [[flood geology]]. Recent decades have seen attempts to de-link creationism from the Bible and recast it as science; these include [[creation science]] and [[intelligent design]].<ref>Richard F.
