• what do fundamentalists believe about the creation story


  they understand it in a literal way, believing that as the Bible is the word of god, it must be inerrant and literally true. they will accept that god made the world in 6 literal 24 hour days and reject all scientific discoveries like the big bang as they are not found in the Bible
• what do liberals believe about the creation story?


  understand it metaphorically, believing science and religion can together explain the creation. they believe god created the world but science tells us HOW god created everything (big bang/ evolution)
