Creation Science. Where is the Science?

I was teasing my friend the other day about his belief in religion, but only because he called me "a foolish sheep in the herd of the damned." I poured out an entire bag of M&Ms on the table. I left them all in a pile except for one lone M&M. I told him, "Hey, as an agnostic, I don't think my lack of belief is that crazy. You see this pile? I believe the truth to our existence can be any one of those many, many things, plus many more. You, on the other hand, believe that all answers lie in that one thing. Anything you can't explain - it's the one thing. All of existence, all life, all of everything - the one thing." And that's on topic with this, I believe. This is why creation should not be taught as legitimate science. It all goes back to one thing and one thing only - a god. There's a god and then there's everything else. The people who don't believe in a god will examine and entertain everything else. The people who do believe craft everything so it comes back to that one thing. There's Sunday school for creation science. There's home school or private school for those who want their children to learn that Jesus makes the rainbows. Doesn't creation science have to be religion? How can it not be? It comes back to that one thing. Creationists I know aren't saying that it could be anyone's god or any divine being; they insist it is the one they believe in. It's rigged science from the start. The conclusion is set; there's no search for truth. I have my own beliefs on these matters, and I don't necessarily believe that removing religion from schools completely is the way to go. But let's not pretend that creationism is anything but organized religion's attempt to hijack work that they would never do, as they're content to believe it all comes back to the one thing.

I think Creationism is not a science and Evolutionism is not a science.They are both religions and they should be removed from schools.God did it or Big Bang did it have the same scientific value both are beliefs.Just because a large part of the academic world chooses to follow the second religion it doesn`t make it a science.

Creation 'science' is just not a science. What makes something a science. 1. Falsifiability; science makes statements that are open to refutation. So, we must ask what statement of creation 'science' is open to refutation, none thinks I 2. Repeatability; knowledge that is derived from experimentation must be repeatable. Creation 'science' is, as far as I know, not based on experimentation and therefore not repeatable 3. Experimental evidence must be conducted with certain criteria, double blind study, peer review, etc. for instance. Creation 'science' again ruled out for reasons above Now, does evolution by natural selection meet these criteria? 1. Falsifiability; well a single case of spontaneous generation would refute the theory 2. Repeatability: evolution on a microbial scale is open to such but on a larger scale falls down a bit, perhaps only due to time scale 3. No problem here In conclusion, creation 'science' is not a science at all, evolution by natural selection may well be But does that mean creation 'science' should not be taught? No, though it should be taught honestly not as a science. Neither is it religion, it is ridiculous to think all knowledge is either science or religion. all the best urban

Hi Chiang, There is no science to creationism and the courts are right in calling it religion. The churches are already doing enough harm to children by indoctrinating them at a young age. There is no proof whatsoever for creationism, nothing but myths found in some old books. Blessings.

How about just teach the school kids the evidence and allow them to make their own conclusions. Of course, there must be evidence rather than mere beliefs written in a holy book. Still, I don't think it would be bad to tell the children some think God created it all. This can be done without holding religion classes.

I think religion and science are two separate things. Some schools like Catholic schools have religious subjects and science subjects separated. Evolution and science should be taught separately from religion because science can often be proven and religion is beliefs that people may choose to believe or not, anyway, that's what I think.

Creation is not a subject I guess. Creation viewed in view of scientific terms is the science of studying how the created beings and things come into the world. However, with our eyes, we can see a wonderful creation. With our ears, we can hear, with our mind, we can reason, with our nose, we can smell, with our heart, we can feel. Evolution of creation is good to study but saying that everything just happens in a big-bang is never scientific. It's not about religion but it's about reason and logic.

Evolution is biology. + Cosmology is creation. = Science. Creation is god. - Bible = Made of crap under disguise.
