Are Religious and Scientific Theories of Creation Compatible?

Theory of Creation is not an acknowledge scientific theory. Science proposed Abiogenesis where life come to exist without need of creation. The Theory of Creation that require the supreme being to create life namely Intelligent Design (ID) had no root of support at all for the existence of God, Deities or Supreme being and their action. The Theory of Abiogenesis while lack of evidence supporting the full process, ID in other hand had nothing at all. The Theory of Creation by far believe in using irreducible complex to stated the process of Abiogenesis impossibility but it had nothing supporting even the existence of the creator. Degree of controversies among Religion to Science varies among religion of concern. Abrahamic's supporter usually in denial of the Abiogenesis theory and try to coin up their theory of creation. Indian's origin usually had nothing to concern or against the Abiogenesis and let the Science be. After all, even if Abiogenesis is not compatible to some of religions, it should not be put to bother since Abiogenesis is still on the long way of study. If the story of creation would be true, there would be the evidence in supporting. What we should do is seeking of evidence and not let the faith blind human process of seeking out truth.

No. Trilobytes are the oldest fossils ever found. They are the reason the theory of evolution is still only a theory.

What is the study of fossils scientific and the study of special creation is not?

The answer to the question "Why is..." or "What makes..." is due to something called scientific method. The method entails generating an hypotheses, which can then be validated by independently gathered observable, empirical and measurable data.If all the currently available data does not contradict the hypotheses it is accepted as the current theory. As such evolution is a current theory which is not contradicted by current fact. Hence the study of fossils follows these principles, where as special creation can not be validated independently. ie. The text in the bible can not be tested by scientific method, since there are no observations that can be done that show the earth was created in 7 days, nor any observable data that corroborates that fact, rather data that contradicts that fact, and hence the bible (and most religious texts) fail as "hypotheses" since in scientific method nothing is fact, and the bible may be spiritual fact, but has failed the test of scientific validation.The study of fossils is paleontology.Hope this ansewered the forst part of your question.
