Creation science or
scientific creationism is a P
seudoscientific form of
Young Earth creationism which claims to offer scientific arguments for certain
literalist and
inerrantist interpretations of the
Bible.
It is often presented without overt faith-based language, but instead relies on reinterpreting scientific results to argue that various
myths in the
Book of Genesis and other select biblical passages are scientifically valid. The most commonly advanced ideas of creation science include
special creation based on the Genesis
creation narrative and
flood geology based on the Genesis
flood narrative.
[1] Creationists also claim they can disprove or reexplain a variety of
scientific facts,
[2] theories and
paradigms of
geology,
[3] cosmology, biological
evolution,
[4][5] archaeology,
[6][7] history, and
linguistics using creation science.
[8] Creation science was foundational to
intelligent design.

In contrast with the views of creation science,
the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community is that creation science Fails to qualify as scientific because it Lacks empirical support, supplies No testable hypotheses, and resolves to describe natural history in terms of scientifically untestable supernatural causes.[10][11]
Courts, most often in the
United States where the question has been asked in the context of
teaching the subject in public schools,
have consistently ruled since the 1980s that creation science is a Religious view rather than a scientific one.
Historians,[12] philosophers of science and skeptics have described creation science as a Pseudoscientific attempt to map the Bible into scientific facts. [13][14][15][16][17]
Professional biologists have criticized creation science for being unscholarly,[18] and even as a Dishonest and misguided Sham, with extremely harmful educational consequences.[19]...
