Pros of creationism:

  • Recognises that there is a god and creator of everything.
  • Satisifes literalist Bible readers.
  • Can be used to fill in gaps of current scientific knowledge.
  • Useful in finding said gaps in scientific knowledge, so they can be researched more thoroughly.

Cons of creationism:

  • Creates unnecessary conflict in those who have reconciled religion with science.
  • Creates unnecessary additional conflict between sects and religions (each has their own form of creationism).
  • Not internally or externally consistent - doesn't make sense when compared to itself, doesn't make sense when compared to facts and evidence.
  • Some basic principles contrary to accepted and mainstream science.
  • Relies on supernatural/religious explanation for some events (which is outside the scope of science).
  • Is not testable or falsifiable.
  • Does not advance science in many useful ways.
  • Results in scientists forced to accept one view regardless of any contrary evidence.
  • Where creationism is taught to young children: becomes equivalent to religious Propaganda (illegal in many areas).
