Charpa, Ulrich (Author)
This paper opens by drawing attention to the fact that there is some conceptual confusion with regard to origin and creation. This has its historical roots in the beginnings of modern science and undoubtedly affects our positioning towards the evolutionism/creationism-debate. This article argues that there are relevant ontological, epistemological, thematic, methodological, and logical differences between origin and creation. As a result, the analysis suggests keeping the usage of both concepts strictly quite separate. Creation is not simply another word for origin nor does it stand for an (from a rigid scientific point of view) awkward example of an origin. Irrespective of the apparent similarities as explanatory factors, origin and creation belong to fundamentally different types of concepts. Consequently, origin of life and those scientific projects connected to it present themselves as something distinct that neither competes nor meshes with thinking about creation.
