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.


How does human anatomy and phisiology support creationisim?

Human anatomy and physiology are fields of science that study the physical structure and function of the human body. These scientific fields do not provide evidence to support creationism, which is a belief system based on the idea that the universe and living organisms were created by a supernatural being. Creationism is a philosophical or religious belief, not a scientific theory supported by evidence from anatomy and physiology.


Why were Darwin's publications on the origin of species controversial?

Darwin presented exstensive evidence from many areas of biology to support his ideas


The intelligent design movement seeks scientific backings for creationism?

The Intelligent Design movement has been seeking scientific backing for creationism since the late twentieth century. Unfortunately for the movement, no such support has been forthcoming, nor is it likely to come, since so-called Intelligent Design is unsupported by facts or evidence.


What happened in the modern scientific creation story?

Answer: Modern scientific creationism is simply a description or explanation of all scientific matters which have relevance to the matter of origins. This includes the elucidation of the part which beliefs or presuppositions play in scientific pursuits, including those of evolutionary believers. It also includes highlighting the obvious fact that no science experiment can exclude God.Modern scientific creationism of course has vastly inferior resources in terms of funding as well as propaganda tools used by evolutionists. Much however has been achieved with both highlighting the relevance of 'mainstream' scientific discoveries to the whole issue of origins as well as more 'creation specific' work.The modern scientific creation movement of course has much in common with those who were pioneers in the development of modern science, since their ideas about the world are essentially the same. People such as Newton and Keppler believed in an orderly universe and saw themselves as merely 'thinking God's thoughts after Him'. Science historians have also realised the positive part a Christian worldview has played in the rise of modern scientific thought, contrary to those whop wish to paint creationism as 'anti-science.' Due to developments in technology, including amazing discoveries in terms of DNA, RNA etc, they are able to build on those who have preceded them, and without the baggage of an evolutionary worldview which has often hindered science.

Is scientific Creationism is example of applied science?

Technically, there is no such thing as scientific creationism. Creationism is per definition un- or even anti-scientific.

Why creationism shouldn't be taught in school?

Creationism can and should be taught in a sociology classroom setting, but not in a science classroom like some people want it to be. The reason for this is that creationism is not a scientific theory or even principle, it's part of cultural mythology.


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


Why is creationism not considered to be a scientific theory?

To be technical it is supported by no evidence, is internally inconsistent and is not falsifiable.


Should public schools teach creationism alongside evolution in science classes?

No. Teaching creationism alongside evolutionary theory would suggest that they are equivalent explanations. They are not. Evolutionary theory is a well-established scientific model; creationism is a religious myth, and should be taught as such.


Why is creationism wrong?

Creationism is not considered scientifically accurate because it is based on religious beliefs rather than empirical evidence. It does not align with the overwhelming scientific consensus that evolution is the best explanation for the diversity of life on Earth, as supported by extensive research in fields like genetics, paleontology, and biology. Creationism is not falsifiable or testable in the same way that scientific theories are.

How come creationism isn't taught in public schools?

Creationism IS taught in public schools. There are many forms of creationism taught in mythology classes. Creationism, itself, is explored in philosophy classes. Biblical creation is taught in English and literature classes. Musical interpretations of Genesis are taught in music classes. Creationism is not taught in science classes because it is not supported by any scientific evidence whatsoever. It makes no verifiable predictions. It also has no practical application.


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 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.
