Absolutely none. First, creation ' science ' is not a science. Second, you need positive evidence to support scientific theories. Creation ' science ' has not a scintilla of said evidence. Third, evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is a fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains this fact. Creation ' science ' tries to explain every thing and ends up explaining nothing.

If you wish to have your beliefs, have them, but please do not call it science.

Here are some arguments for Creation or against Evolution.

These point to Divine Creation:

  • The staggering complexity of every organ and every cell in the human body.
  • The vastness of our minds and emotions.
  • The fact that the universe has definite design, order, and arrangement which cannot be sufficiently explained outside a theistic worldview. (This is how Abraham, without benefit of teachers, came to reject the chaotic world-view of idolatry and the possibility of atheism). For example, theoretical physicist and popular science writer Paul Davies (whose early writings were not especially sympathetic to theism) states concerning the fundamental structure of the universe, "the impression of design is overwhelming" (Davies, 1988, p. 203).
  • The laws of the universe seem to have been set in such a way that stars, planets and life can exist. Many constants of nature appear to be finely tuned for this, and the odds against this happening by chance are astronomical.
See: More detailed evidence of Creation

Also:

1) The glaring lack of transitional fossils has been noted by the evolutionists themselves, such as this statement from the famous paleontologist and evolutionist George G. Simpson; quote: "The regular lack of transitional fossils is not confined to primates alone, but is an almost universal phenomenon."
"The lack of transitional series cannot be explained as being due to the scarcity of material. The deficiencies are real; they will never be filled" (Nilsson, N. Heribert).
"To the unprejudiced, the fossil record of plants is in favor of special creation" (Corner, E.J.H., Contemporary Botanical Thought).
2) Instances of falsifying of evidence by evolutionists, such as Haeckel's drawings, Archaeoraptor, the Cardiff "specimen," and Piltdown Man.
"Haeckel exaggerated the similarities [between embryos of different species] by idealizations and omissions, in a procedure that can only be called fraudulent. His drawings never fooled embryologists, who recognized his fudgings right from the start. The drawings, despite their noted inaccuracies, entered into the standard student textbooks of biology. Once ensconced in textbooks, misinformation becomes cocooned and effectively permanent, because textbooks copy from previous texts. We do, I think, have the right to be both astonished and ashamed by the century of mindless recycling that has led to the persistence of these drawings in a large number, if not a majority, of modern textbooks (Stephen Gould).
Dr. Jonathan Wells published a book in 2002 entitled Icons of Evolution. Dr. Wells states that the book shows that "the best-known 'evidences' for Darwin's theory have been exaggerated, distorted or even faked."


3) Creationists see the "survival of the fittest" and the dating of rock layers by fossils as being perfect tautologies.


4) The fact that some qualified, educated, normal scientists do not believe in evolution. Or at least question it, even if they still preach evolution: "Nine-tenths of the talk of evolutionists is sheer nonsense, not founded on observation and wholly unsupported by facts. This museum is full of proofs of the utter falsity of their views. In all this great museum, there is not a particle of evidence of the transmutation of species" (Dr. Etheridge, Paleontologist of the British Museum).
"To postulate that the development and survival of the fittest is entirely a consequence of chance mutations seems to me a hypothesis based on no evidence and irreconcilable with the facts. It amazes me that this is swallowed so uncritically and readily, and for such a long time, by so many scientists without murmur of protest" (Sir Ernest Chain, Nobel Prize winner).


5) The fact that there is a shared, worldwide tradition among every ancient society that the world was created.


6) Evolving of new organs or species has not been witnessed during known history.


7) Mutations are harmful, not beneficial. One of the tasks of DNA and of long-term breeding is to avoid or repair any changes brought about by mutations. This means that our genetic apparatus is programmed to resist change.


8) Mutations, even if beneficial, do not create new organs.


9) The fact that a great number of fossils have been found in the "wrong" rock-layers according to what evolutionary Paleontology would require.


10) The fact that you need DNA to make DNA. No genetic code can be demonstrated to have arisen by chance, together with the ability to read that code and carry out its instructions. Information does not arise spontaneously; and there is an incredible amount of information in even the tiniest cell.
"A living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagination and defy evolutionary explanations" (Michael Denton, author).
"The astounding structural complexity of a cell" (U.S. National Library of Medicine).
Concerning a single structure within a cell: "Without the motor protein, the microtubules don't slide and the cilium simply stands rigid. Without nexin, the tubules will slide against each other until they completely move past each other and the cilium disintegrates. Without the tubulin, there are no microtubules and no motion. The cilium is irreducibly complex. Like a mousetrap, it has all the properties of design and none of the properties of natural selection" (Michael Behe, prof. of biophysics).


11) The problem of the impossibility of abiogenesis in general. "The concept of abiogenesis is not science. It's fantasy" (J.L. Wile, Ph.D.).


12) The fact that evolution was once used as support for the belief that Blacks (or others) are less than highly-evolved humans. "Darwin was also convinced that the Europeans were evolutionarily more advanced than the black races" (Steven Rose, author). He also "reasoned that males are more evolutionarily advanced than females" (B. Kevics, author).


13. The first and second laws of thermodynamics point clearly to a Creator, since things undergo entropy rather than get more orderly over time.


14. "Radiometric techniques may not be the absolute dating methods that they are claimed to be. Age-estimates on a given geological stratum by different radiometric methods are often very different. There is no absolutely reliable long-term radiological clock. The uncertainties inherent in radiometric dating are disturbing to geologists and evolutionists." William D. Stansfield, Ph.D., Instructor of Biology, California Polytechnic State University.


15. "Even total rock systems may be open during metamorphism and may have their isotopic systems changed, making it impossible to determine their geologic age." Prof. Gunter Faure (Department of Geology, The Ohio State University, Columbus.)


16 a). At current rates of erosion the amount of sea-floor sediments actually found do not support a "billions of years" age for the Earth.
b) The amount of Sodium Chloride in the sea, also, is a small fraction of what the "old Earth" theory would postulate.
c) The Earth's magnetic field is decaying too fast to extrapolate a long age for the Earth.
d) The rate of accumulation of Moon-dust has been measured; and the amount of dust on the Moon was found to be vastly less than what scientists had predicted before the Moon-landings.

See: Problems in Evolutionary astronomy

e) Helium is generated by radioactive elements as they decay. The escape of this helium into the atmosphere can be measured. According to the Evolutionary age of the Earth there should be much more helium in the atmosphere, instead of the 0.05% that is actually there.Also see:

An advantage (or 'pro') that so-called creation science has over real sciences such as evolution, is that it can appeal to the emotions. Put forward something that certain people want to believe, and they will believe it. Evolution must be taught on the basis of evidence, not emotion, and scientists can not make unwarranted assumptions in support of their theories. On the other hand, creation scientists can make whatever unproven and unprovable assumptions they wish, supporting them by appeals to faith and religious tradition.

Creation scientists need no formal qualifications, and in most cases have minimal knowledge of scientific method. They don't have to put in the hard yards that scientists go through to become qualified in a field, and can speculate on science that they barely understand. Creation science does not need to undergo rigorous peer review in the way that science does, so almost any plausible hypothesis can be put forward as evidence for creationism. Creationists are even able to put forward claims about the supposed lack of evidence for evolution, simply because there is no obligation to withhold comment.

What are some pros for science?

he or she is the one who teach me how to learn processes of science


Pros and cons of literal creation?

The pros are that it is very simple and fits with some devoutly cherished religious beliefs. The cons are that a literal creation flies in the face of reality, and is contradicted by science. Our universe is 13.7 billion years old, and that value has been carefully determined and established by a wide variety of different methods.


What is the best description of evolutionism?

Evolutionism is the belief that all species of organisms develop through natural selection and adaptation over time. It is a scientific theory that explains how life on Earth has diversified and changed through processes like genetic mutation and environmental pressure.


Is evolution a pseudoscience?

No. Evolution is accepted as legitimate evidence-supported science by virtually 100% of professional biologists, by 95% of scientists in general, and almost every National or International Academy of Science on the planet has issued one or more statements confirming evolution is legitimate science well supported by all available evidence.


Who wrote Darwin matters because evolution matters Evolution matters because science matters?

although science does matter evolution might be true to some religion but not to all


What percentage of the world are creationists?

I don't think that you could accurately determine the percentage. There are those that believe in creation and those that believe in evolution. A large part of those that say they believe in creation also believe in evolution to some degree. If you are taking a count of who believes what, put me down for creation with no evolution.


What are some simple ways to prove evolution wrong?

Evolution is not incorrect. Science believes that creatioism is wrong.


How is science related to monkeys?

Well to be honest it really is not at all if you are referring to the evolutionary part of monkeys becoming people and so on. And if not I do not get your question because science can basically go with anything. Evolution is not proven at all. It is just a theory that was made by some "scientists". They have nothing to even back them up. So I do not know how schools and wherever are allowed and are even willing to teach this. If you teach evolution you should also teach creation which actually has proof and facts to back up to. Creation is way more reliable and true than this evolution crap.


Has Science disproved the Creation story?

Yes. Creation is a story while evolution is science. The two can really never explain each other. You can not use science to explain any fairy tales.Creationists do think that their story does explain things.Answer:No, of course not. As the above answer states, the two cannot explain each other. Science cannot prove that God didn't create the Universe. A significant percentage of scientists believe in God as the creator and the agent of evolution, or without evolution.Answer:Just because some scientists believe in god, it doesn't mean that they believe in creation stories. The argument that because they believe in god must mean that they don't believe in evolution is illogical. And a creationist would first have to prove god exists and explain god's origins.


What makes the theory of creation and evolution significant in existence of humanity?

There is no theory of creation. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much about the fact of evolution. The only significance to human society is that some people can not accept the real and modern world because of ideological constraints.


Does Evolution have to be conflicted?

If you are referring to the theory of evolution in terms of how it is believed to work in practice then yes, there is conflict. 'Nature red in tooth and claw' is an analogy used to describe the practical implications and operation of 'survival of the fittest.' There is seen to be, in the operation of natural selection, a struggle for survival in which the 'most fit' survive. This conflict is seen as necessary for evolution to progress.If you are referring to conflict between the theory of evolution and those who believe in either young-earth Biblical creation or Intelligent Design, then yes, there is also conflict here. This arises because the science of evolution contradicts the religious interpretation of some groups.If you are referring to the conflict between some facts of science and the theory of evolution, then this is perfectly explained by such facts being misinterpeted to suggest evolution is incorrect or impossible. This conflict arises from the above.If you are referring to the conflict within evolutionary science itself: this conflict is not over the fact that evolution occurs - this is accepted by almost all of the scientific community - but on how it occurs; for example, between gradual evolution and punctuated equilibrium, or between different opinions on the classification of certain species.


Are creation and evolution connected or separate issues?

AnswerEvolution is the natural process by which present-day species were formed over a period of billions of years. Creation can have many meanings, some of which are consistent with scientific knowledge about evolution, while some are not.Special creation holds that the world and all its creatures were created in an extremely short period, usually about 6,000 years ago, and that those creatures remain in much the same form as when they were first created. This is a religious belief and is entirely inconsistent with the facts of evolution.Others interpret the Bible in such a way as to harmonise it, to a greater or lesser extent, with science and evolution. Even if not directly connected with evolution, these views are no always inconsistent with evolution.What is important is that the Theory of Evolution is based on empirical evidence and explains how we came to be here, but does not attempt to explain why we are here. Religion should attempt to explain a different issue - why we are here. As long as science and religion remain within their own magisteria, there need be no conflict. There is no reason that a Christian, Hindu or follower of any other religion should not believe in his or her own creation God, while still understanding and accepting the science of evolution.AnswerWhile some believe evolution was the vehicle for the creation of life, others do not. Both camps utilize the same evidence, but interpret it differently. The scientist who believes God created the earth and life directly sees abundant evidence for this, while another scientist who does not accept the view will look to evolution as the explanation. So they can be both separate or connected issues depending on your viewpoint. However, creation cannot be easily separated from God. Evolution, in the opinion of some, has nothing to do with God since it contradicts the plainest meaning of Genesis and would require the existence of death and suffering prior to the Fall of man.
