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.
Why is creationism not considered to be a scientific theory?
To be technical it is supported by no evidence, is internally inconsistent and is not falsifiable.
What are the two kinds of Creationism?
1) In order to reconcile Creation with Evolution, Old-Earth Creationism holds that God made the universe and then guided Evolution over long epochs.2) In repudiation of Evolution, Young-Earth Creationismholds that God created the universe and living things relatively recently without the use of Evolution.See also the Related Links.Link: Evidence for CreationLink: Can you show that God existsLink: God's wisdom seen in His creations
What are the old earth creationism theories?

In what testament of the Bible does it state the scientific evidence for evolution and creationism?
Bible is not empirical thus anything conceived within its story cannot be perceived as scientific evidence. For anything.
Do you think that Evolution and Creationism should be taught in school?
Evolution is a widely accepted scientific theory supported by extensive evidence, and should be taught in science classes. Creationism, however, is based on religious beliefs and is not supported by scientific evidence, so it is not appropriate to be taught in a science classroom. It may be more suitable for discussion in courses on religion or philosophy.
Is creationism a myth or a theory?
Neither. It is a belief, based upon ancient worldwide tradition. See also:Is there evidence for Creation
Does creationism disprove adaptation?
Minor adaptations and changes, as can be observed in living things today, are of course not denied or disproved by Creationism. What Creationism does deny is the notion that Evolution could bring about new species or even new organs.See also:Is there evidence against Evolution?Can you show that God exists?Seeing God's wisdom
Does the discovery of aliens negate the idea of creationism?
No. Because creationism is the belief a deity created life. If aliens were proved to exist, it would not negate it because there would still be no evidence to prove or disprove the fact they were also created by a deity.
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.
What are the key components of creationism?
Answer: Key components of creationism would include the following:1. Clear statement of presupposition or bias -belief in the infallibility of the Bible and its historical record of what happened in the beginning.2. Following from this a continual search for and presentation of evidence which supports this view in literally every area of science.3. A constant critique of evolutionary explanations in comparison with 'real science.'4. Defence against many false representations of its position.Key areas of evidence: Age of the earth and universe (geology and astronomy), study of the fossil record and its evidence (palaeontology), study of biology and its evidences particularly around mutations and changes in living things.
Should public schools teach creationism alongside evolution in science classes?
No. Teaching creationism alongside evolutionary theory would suggest that they are equivalent explanations. They are not. Evolutionary theory is a well-established scientific model; creationism is a religious myth, and should be taught as such.
