They believe that people create their own essence and meaning of their lives. They would say that each individual is entirely free and has a responsiblity to create ethical parameters for his own behavior. Existentialists start with the premise that individuals come into existence in an established world that cannot be thought away, and that their existence is more basic than any meaning ascribed to human life.

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.
