No Actually everything in creationism is based on real science. Also young earth creationism is easily explained by the fact that I believe most dating methods used by scientists today are flawed. Many have been proved to have huge inconsistencies many times over. I remember one experiment where the age of a newly created volcano crust was dated and it came back millions of years old when in fact it was less then 20. And also the recent discovery of dinosaur bones with blood in them show a different story, as many know blood cannot last millions of years. What this shows is that the whole foundation of the archeology timeline is flawed and that the earth is much younger then originally believed. That in fact the world isn't millions of years old but thousands. I'll put up some links to back my claims, one has pictures so you can see it with your own eyes.

Also there was a recent discovery of rings in rocks with a radioactive compound that has a half life of less then a second proves that it was created in less then a second. As the rings wouldn't exist if it was created after it had vanished. Many people believe that this happened because it was deposited by a kind of sap, but this would only account for the rings on the surface, not the rings inside the rock itself.

As you can see everything in Creationism is based on science. I would suggest that you find a movie called "Creation in the Symphony" which shows a lot of the theory and science behind creation. One great line from the movie is "The probability that evolution is true is the same probability that a whirlwind would blow into a junkyard and construct a Boeing 747 and send it flying out the other side"

In fact one reason evolution requires the alleged long time frames is that because we don't see evolution happening before our eyes it is assumed it can occur over the longer time period. This kind of argumentation is frequently used by evolutionists. It has been likened to a salesman who makes a loss on every sale but assumes he can make a profit if he makes a major increase in his sales volume. This ignores the scientific facts of Genetics, which show definite limits to change and no mechanism for new information to arise in the genetic code of an organism.

Further to this, genetics, particularly human genetics, shows there are now around 4000 known genetic disorders. The human genome is thus not evolving into something better but is deteriorating over time. Actual science points to a 'very good' creation which is in decay. If it was as old as stated by evolutionists we probably would not be here.

It is also wrong to assume that it is scientific knowledge which refutes creationism. Scientific knowledge, when all the facts are considered, supports young-earth creationism and refutes evolution. If evolution is true then it would fit all the facts and there would be no need to ignore an 'inconvenient truth.' Creationism is also not 'true by default'. It just happens to fit the evidence, all the evidence, better.

Answer

Yes Creationism is not a science. It is based on an inherently religious claim and posits a diametrically opposed view based on that which cannot be tested by science.

  • To say that scientific knowledge do not refute creationism is to claim that hundreds of thousands of scientists around the world, all with substantial knowledge of evolution and the facts and data surrounding it, are wrong.
  • To say that creationism fits all the evidence is completely incorrect. Radio-isotope dating, fossil record, genetic comparison and functioning, comparative anatomy, comparative behaviour, ... are all denied by creationism. Yet, they are shown correct by hundreds of experiments, by a multitude of research. If anything, creationism twists the facts it chooses, and denies all others.
  • To say that because genetic disorders are increasing means nothing. We allow these people to survive, we protect them and feed them and shelter them; in nature, they would have been killed off within months of birth, thus removing such disorders from the gene pool. A simple glance at the creatures in the natural world, without this defense, shows that genetic disorders are so rare as to be miracles when a specimen is found; for example, the albino great white shark.
  • To say that evolution requires huge time frames is not entirely true. It requires huge numbers of successive generations; while for many organisms this is equivalent, for things like viruses, bacteria, even flies and insects (which all reproduce quickly enough to see the differences) we can visually observe that evolution, defined by change in alleleic frequency and survival of the fittest/natural selection, is occurring. This is replicable in both the lab and in nature.
  • To say that evolution has an enormously low probability is to say that everything does. Yet it still happens. As to comparing evolution to a 747 appearing from nothing, the argument fails to understand how evolution works; it does not go from A to Z in one jump, but creeps there using hundreds of very small ones.
  • Perhaps the best example of the vast errors in creationism: "I believe". Creationism is based on religious belief. It starts with a conclusion - i.e. "God did it this way" - and then attempts to prove this, despite longstanding evidence to the contrary. It does the same with current science; it concludes that this knowledge must be incorrect, and then goes about attempting to prove so.
  • If creationism was so correct, then scientists would accept it as such. But it isn't, because it doesn't fit the facts, it doesn't work as science and it doesn't make sense.

What is the opposite of creationism?

Creationism, as a belief, a philosophy and a mindset, would be defined as an abstract noun; creationism as an event or a process would be a concrete noun. Nouns have no opposites; you cannot get "negative-creation" in the same way as you can get 1 and -1.


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.


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


What is Richard Dawkins' view on Creationism?

Richard Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, at Oxford University. In this position, he clearly has a sound understanding of scientific issues such as evolution and the creation of the universe. This has led him to believe that Creationism is inherently untrue. Since his role is to advance the public understaning of Science, he has written books such as The God Delusion(Bantam Press, 2006) to explain his views.I think that Professor Dawkins sees Creationism as dependently linked to religious belief. Where he views Creationism to contend with Science, which he asserts is quite often, Dawkins prefers to focus on the inherent failure of the underlying religious belief rather than simply demonstrating the error of the Creationist belief and leaving the proponent to continue in his or her religious beliefs.The debate around creationism and evolution is more fully covered in: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation


Does creationism disprove adaptation?

No, creationism and adaptation are not mutually exclusive concepts. Creationism is a belief in a divine creator, while adaptation is a scientific process by which organisms change over time to better survive in their environment. Many people believe that adaptation is evidence of intelligent design by a divine creator.
