I guess I’m some kind of Old Earth/Old LIfe Creationist. I reject Darwinism, since, for starters, it appears to be contradicted by the fossil record. However, I do accept that the fossil records reveals change and diversity over time.
Another objection i have to Darwinism is the claim that novel, complex, interdependent biological systems can arise in a gradual, piecemeal fashion, which strikes me as a scientifically absurdity (unsurprisingly, not a few evolutionary theorists have declared that the Modern Synthesis is inadequate when it comes to explaining how novel organs and body plans could arise).
Note: By “Darwinism” I mean the theory that all life on earth evolved via a contiguous and gradual biological process from a common ancestor (whether guided or unguided by God, and regardless of what biological mechanisms are proposed as responsible for said evolution).
I don’t intend the word “Darwinism” as a pejorative (as in,heresy or atheism), but simply as a moniker for a particular scientific theory (albeit an unconvincing scientific theory with respect to origins, imo).
