Summary/Abstract: Certain Orthodox theologians, clerics and lay people use insights and conclusions of North American fundamentalist denominations in order to understand Gods creation, i. e. they use the arguments of “biblical creationism”. Is it necessary or is it possible to plant protestant creationist science in the soil of Orthodox faith? We think that the answer is negative, and in this article we will try to point out basic reasons supporting such answer. Further, in this article we will especially reflect on creationism movements in Serbia and its neighboring countries.
