Question

Describe the theory of special creation.

Answer 1

Hint: The theory of special creation was a theory of religious belief and had no scientific reason in it. Father Suerez was the creator of this theory.

Complete answer:
The theory of special creation stated that life was gifted by a supernatural power that is invisible but is responsible for the creation of life. It was proposed by Father Suerez as he was a strong believer in supernatural powers and believed in this theory. According to him, life on earth was created in six days. The important points of the theory of special creation-
1. Life of different organisms like animals, plants, microorganisms were created at the same time but were not related to each other.
2. They took birth or created as they are without development or growth.
3. They were prepared to fulfill the needs they require to survive in the environment.
4. The theory of special creation had a concept of religious belief and had no scientific reason behind due to which it was rejected. The scientists were unable to prove that organisms are created directly by a supernatural power. The laws were not proved. So, the concept of the theory of special creation was not accepted by all. There was a conflict between those who accepted and believed it and those who denied it to be true.

Note: Theory of special creation was the theory that had only religious belief and proved that organisms are created as they are. The scientists were unable to prove it scientifically. Theories that came in contradiction to the theory of special creation were the theory of spontaneous generation.
