Scientists have virtually nothing to say on the topic creationism because the assertions that creationists make are often unfalsifiable and cannot be verified. However, some scientists have made note of where creationism conflicts with known evidence or reasoned logic. Kenneth R. Miller of Brown University, for example, falsified creationist Michael Behe's assertion of irreducible complexity by drawing the analogy of a cell structure to a mouse trap and then demonstrating a plausible precursory function for each one of the mouse trap's components. Miller went a step further and demonstrated precursory functions for each of the components of the bacterial flagellum, which previously Dr. Behe had argued was irreducibly complex.

What is the opposite of creationism?

What is the definition of creationism?
Creationism is the belief that life and the universe were created by a supernatural being, typically in the religious sense, rather than through natural processes like evolution. Creationism often rejects scientific explanations for the origin of life and promotes the idea of a divine creator.
How does evolution involve creationism?
Evolution does NOT involve creationism.Evolution is a testable and therefore provable explanation as to how the diversity of life on earth has happened.Creationism is a religious viewpoint and therefore a mater of faith.AnswerI agree with the above. Evolution does NOT involve Creationism. Evolution is a branch of biological science and thus rejects "supernatural" claims such as those of Creationism, does not need to consider them. Creationism, often hanging on Genesis, the first book of the Bible, predates scientific inquiry and the scientific method and so is thus rejected by science and thus evolutionary science. In the public spotlight, the so-called Evolution-Creation "controversy" and all the on-stage arguments and debates might make it seem as though Evolution and Creationism (and Intelligent Design) have a lot to do with one another, but I doubt Creationism gets much mention at all in scientific laboratories and scientific conferences (it can't because it hasn't got anything to say about the real world.)
What does creationism mean?
According to Wikipedia, Creationism is the religious belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their original form by a deity (often the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam) or deities.Initially, Creationism developed as a response by a minority of Christians to the Theory of Evolution. Its advocates attempted to have Creationism taught, in US schools, in science classes as a valid alternative to evolution. The courts blocked this attempt, on the grounds that Creationism is a topic of religion and to teach it in science classes would breach the separation of church and state.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Why does evolution disprove creationism?
Creationism basically promotes an essentialist notion: the notion that life is static and lifeforms unchanging. The facts show that life is continually diverging, stemming from common ancestors. This disproves the notion of special creation of modern lifeforms, and the notion that such lifeforms are essentially unchanging.

Is creationism an official scientific theory?
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 do you call a scientist who studies religion?

What do scientists say about creation?
The vast majority of scientists say that creation, as opposed to current biological, physical, chemical and astronomical models, is pseudoscience with a religious and political agenda.When we say "majority", we don't just mean 101 to 100. We're talking 999 out of every 1000. Some creation supporters have compiled lists of a few hundred "scientists" which support it. Most of these "scientists" are unqualified; most of the remainder have very little actual qualification. Of the few others, their opinion is based on religious (and not purely scientific) grounds.There are hundreds of thousands of scientists who would attest that their work and research indicates current science to be correct, and creationist claims to the contrary are unfounded, based in misapplication, misunderstanding, and speculation about facts.Quite simply, scientists (as a group) say that creationism is wrong/false/incorrect/fake.ANSWERYou will find that anti-creation scientists are over-represented in the field of Biology despite overwhelming modern evidence and research otherwise by other scientists in other fields such as ENTROPY. [Not old parroted "facts" and opinions passed off as facts but since discredited].Anyway, most scientists couldn't care less - it's just the squeaking wheel that gets the most grease.
