it would be cosmology - because it has only just began to be explored, examining dark matter, behaviour of the largest things in the universe, or possibly quantum mechanics - which deals with the smallest pieces of the universe and how they interact.
Creationism is not a science its a belief system that is around 2000 years old, If you do the research you will discover that one of the two sciences i have mentioned above are the most recently discovered, started and recognised.
anything else has been around for a very long time.
Apart from genetic research which has been around only slightly longer than the sciences above,

It depends what you mean by "science". If you mean the very broad-brush terms - Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology - they all date back thousands of years.
If you will allow much smaller, more precise subdivisions, then they are being created all the time. Genetics could be said to have started with Mendel, but the discovery of DNA in 1953 clearly prompted a new branch of scientific endeavour which postdates quantum mechanics (1900, Planck) and astrophysics (which really began in earnest in the late 19th century with the development of spectroscopy). If you accept Cloning as a separate science, that began in 1963 with a cloned fish.
Genetic Engineering was invented in 1973 (Cohen & Boyer). Chaos Theory traces its roots back to 1898, but the term was only coined in 1975, so that was more recently "recognised" in one sense.
The trouble is, new technologies are being created all the time, and where you draw the line between a new application and a whole new science is sometimes blurred.

I would suggest business science. This covers quality assurance and operations management etc. Business studies are offered as an arts subject but some of the individual specialisms are now classified as a science. E.g MSc in Quality Management.

I would say that genome and genetic research (DNA) is possibly the most recently recognized.

Creationism, I guess there are billions of people believe in that "Science".
