abstract
  • Creation "science" tries to imagine or pretend that the Bronze Age Mythology in the Book of Genesis can be made into science.
  • Creation science is science which sets out to show that supernatural creation of the material universe by God is consistent and compatible with the available scientific evidence. Most advocates of creation science believe the earth is approximately 6,000 years old. In addition, scientists in the discipline of creation science state that the first law of thermodynamics and second law of thermodynamics argue against an eternal universe. They also claim that these laws point to the universe being created by God. Creation scientists also assert that naturalistic processes alone cannot account for the origin of life and that the theory of evolution cannot account for the various kinds of animals and plants. Both evolutionary scientists and young earth creation scientists believe that speciation occurs; however, young earth creation scientists state that speciation generally occurs at a much faster rate than evolutionists believe is the case. Many scientists in the field of creation science assert that the Bible contains an understanding of scientific knowledge beyond that believed to exist at the time the Bible was composed (see Bible scientific foreknowledge).
  • Creation science is an umbrella term for the creationist movement to reconcile the biblical account of creation with modern science. Its supporters claim that the extant scientific evidence best supports a creationist interpretation. As an organized campaign it is concentrated within the United States, primarily among evangelical Christian denominations that subscribe to the doctrine of biblical inerrancy. Advocates of creation science depart from the uniformitarian model of geology in favor of flood geology, arguing for the historical accuracy of the Noachic flood. They dispute the theory of the common descent of all life via biological evolution, claiming that evolution is pseudoscientific and argue in favor of creation biology. They reject scientific theories on the age of the universe, arguing for creationist cosmologies based on an age of less than ten thousand years. Some advocates have spent many years arguing for the inclusion of creation science in the science curriculum of U.S. public schools. The mainstream scientific community dismisses creation science as a pseudoscience because it does not conform to the scientific method, as well as admissions by its proponents that the means of creation cannot be proven. Therefore, rather than offering its own theoretical models, creation science literature generally consists of compilations of alleged weaknesses in current models of evolution and geology.
