Evolution is considered incompatible primarily with some forms of Christian fundamentalism, especially among Young Earth Creationists. These views are most commonly found in:
1. Certain Evangelical and Fundamentalist Protestant Sects
- Young Earth Creationists (YECs) believe the Earth is around 6,000–10,000 years old based on a literal reading of the Genesis creation story.
- Notable groups include:
- Independent Fundamentalist Baptists
- Some Pentecostal groups (e.g., parts of the Assemblies of God, though official views vary)
- Seventh-day Adventist Church (traditionally YEC, though there is some internal variation)
2. Jehovah’s Witnesses
- Reject Darwinian evolution. They accept microevolution (small changes within species) but deny common descent and natural selection as explanations for the origin of life.
3. Some Conservative Reformed Groups
- Particularly those adhering strictly to the Westminster Confession or a literalist interpretation of the Bible.
By contrast, Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and many mainline Protestant churches (e.g., Episcopalians, Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians) generally accept evolution, often interpreting Genesis allegorically or as theological metaphor.
