Progressive creationism or the day-age interpretation is an interpretation of the biblical creation account which, like the Gap theory, attempts to harmonise the Bible with uniformitarian ideas about the age of the earth, while at the same time rejecting evolution. It suggests that creation took place over a much longer period of time than the literal Garden of Eden six day account related in Genesis and Exodus, and, depending on the version, does not necessarily have the "days" in order. Progressive creationists generally believe that a series of distinct creation events took place.

- Progressive creationism is the most common form of Old Earth Creationism today. It accepts that species have changed or evolved and also believes that the process has been continuously guided by God, with various ideas as to how the process operates. It incorporates most of modern physical science, even viewing the Big Bang as evidence of the creative power of God. It accepts much of modern biology as scientifically correct, but sees God as the agent of the evolutionary changes.

Progressive Creationists generally believe that God specially creates "kinds" of organisms (genetically unrelated to older kinds) sequentially, thus explaining the order seen in the fossil record.
