    Creationists believe in a literal interpretation of the bible - that the earth was created in literally 7 days.
    Intelligent design uses factual evidence and logic to prove the existence of an intelligent designer - from a strictly scientific standpoint. It is important to note that this isn't an attempt to prove "god". Acknowledging the existence of an intelligent design does not require you to join any religion, chant, pray, or even call this unknown intelligence "god". Many become aware of an intelligent design and automatically assume that a religion is the only other alternative to evolution theory.
    Evolution arose from Charles Darwin's "Origins of species", ignoring significant gaps in the the fossil record(that always appear where intermediate animal fossils should be found)that he figured would be filled in in the future(didn't happen), irreducible complexity, fossil evidence from the Cambrian Explosion, and the inherent complexity of DNA(which could not have arisen by chance).
