In terms of denominational beliefs regarding [[science]] and the origin of the earth and human life, some evangelicals support [[young Earth creationism]].<ref>{{Cite web |title="Scientific" Creationism as a Pseudoscience {{!}} National Center for Science Education |url=https://ncse.ngo/scientific-creationism-pseudoscience |access-date=November 24, 2022 |website=ncse.ngo |language=en}}</ref> For example, [[Answers in Genesis]], founded in Australia in 1986, is an evangelical organization that seeks to defend the thesis.<ref>Randall Herbert Balmer, ''Encyclopedia of Evangelicalism: Revised and expanded edition'', Baylor University Press, USA, 2004, p. 29</ref> In 2007, they founded the [[Creation Museum]] in Petersburg, in [[Kentucky]]<ref>Quentin J.

Pentecostal Evangelical Roma communities in Romania that have been evangelized by American missionaries, who mostly belong to Kalderash and Muchwaya Roma groups and once belonged to the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church, do not see the Muslim Roma (Xoraxane) as Roma and call them gypsies or simply muzzi, as long as they belong to Islam.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.economist.com/eastern-approaches/2011/01/17/romanias-evangelical-romanies |title=Romania's evangelical Romanies |work=The Economist |date=17 January 2011 |access-date=13 January 2025 |url-access=registration}}</ref>
