Mary Baker Eddy the founder of Christian Science taught that matter is not real. So both mainstream evolution and creationism are wrong to Mrs Eddy and the teachings of Christian Science because they both teach that life came from matter. What Mary Baker Eddy taught was that all life is spiritual (non-material). So you could label Christian Science as "Spiritual creationism" all things created in spirit by God. Christian Scientists believe in a spiritual understanding of the scriptures, The creation story in Genesis for example is very important to them. They believe everything is spirit, and that God is all in all. That man is spiritual and made in the image and likeness of God and that everything even down to what appears to be a "rock" or piece of "grass" is infact spiritual in reality because God has made all things in his likeness which is good and spiritual. What we see as "matter" is an illusion and a counterfeit of the spiritual reality.
