Some scientists believe this because things proven by science point to a higher power. for example, things in the universe are perfectly level, like oxygen on earth. if there where to much, a small spark would set the world on fire, and to little, life would be unsustainable. also, every detail of the universe is perfectly in balance. this points to the thought that something must have created every detail perfectly.

Science and religion are not mutually exclusive to each other. In fact, the study of various sciences has led some scientists to believe in an intelligent creator because they see design in the laws of nature. To publish these beliefs would be career suicide, so most of them keep somewhat quiet about it. The Bible's account of creation actually fits very well with the facts and order of things that science has been able to discover so far. Of course, that is only if you take the creative days to be an unspecified period of time and not literal 24 hour days. The Bible does leave room for adaptation in species, which has been proven to have happened through visible and repeatable scientific discoveries. It does not however, leave room for the theory of evolution, which has not been proven nor has it been repeatable.

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.
