No.Creationism is seen by the scientific community as pseudoscience at best, religious interference at worst. In official definitions, it is a hypothesis only, and not a scientific one at that.

Regardless of what its supporters claim or would like to believe, they are a very tiny minority. 99.9% of scientists accept the current mainstream views such as the Big Bang theory and the thmodern evolutionary synthesis, and have in the process invalidated creationism as a viable alternative.

What is a scientific view on creationism?

The scientific view on creationism is that it is not supported by empirical evidence or scientific consensus. Evolutionary theory, supported by a vast body of evidence, is widely accepted by the scientific community as the explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. Creationism, which posits divine intervention as the origin of species, is considered a belief system based on faith rather than scientific inquiry.


How does human anatomy and phisiology support creationisim?

Human anatomy and physiology are fields of science that study the physical structure and function of the human body. These scientific fields do not provide evidence to support creationism, which is a belief system based on the idea that the universe and living organisms were created by a supernatural being. Creationism is a philosophical or religious belief, not a scientific theory supported by evidence from anatomy and physiology.

Is a Scientific theory certain?

Scientific theory is the explanation of nature base on repetition of observing facts. It had to withstand scientific review to re-examine all the time. Scientific theory is certain thing in layman term and context. However, statistically, nothing is 100% certain and possibly a tiny possibility exist that it is wrong or had limit in certain area. Some would try to use theory as the mean of uncertain to make believe scientific theory is the same as personal theory. Scientific theory to withstand require certainty as it must provide thoroughly along the path of experimental result. The personal theory is what called in science a hypothesis.

What provoked opposition to Darwin's natural selection theory?

Google creationism. Google secular creationism. Google the modern synthesis.


What is the scientific theory of creation?

The scientific theory of creation is not a recognized scientific theory. In science, the prevailing theory explaining the origins of the universe, Earth, and life is the theory of evolution by natural selection, which is supported by a large body of evidence from various scientific disciplines such as biology, genetics, geology, and paleontology. Creationism, on the other hand, is a belief system rooted in religious or mythological explanations for the origins of the universe and life.


How come creationism isn't taught in public schools?

Creationism IS taught in public schools. There are many forms of creationism taught in mythology classes. Creationism, itself, is explored in philosophy classes. Biblical creation is taught in English and literature classes. Musical interpretations of Genesis are taught in music classes. Creationism is not taught in science classes because it is not supported by any scientific evidence whatsoever. It makes no verifiable predictions. It also has no practical application.


Is the evolutionary theory bankrupt?

Absolutely not. The Theory of Evolution is the accepted scientific theory of how living things evolved on this planet. If you're looking for a "bankrupt" theory a serious contender would be the unscientific theory of Creationism. It has absolutely no scientific currency to support it. However, as Ayn Rand said so eloquently: Those who deny reason cannot be conquered by it.
