What is creation science (creationism) all about?

Question

Except for the following arguments:

• Evolution has never been observed.
• All species were created at the same time.
• The Earth's age is 6 to 10 thousand years old.
• There are no transitional fossils.
• The theory of evolution says that life originated and evolves by random chance.
• The second law of thermodynamics refutes evolution.
• Evolution is only a theory; it hasn't been proven.
• An organ as complex as the human eye could only have been created by "intelligent design," not by the random process of natural selection.
...

What else is it about? Something that would benefit the human life, maybe?

Cee T, please give me one evidence for each assumption that you showed

Answer 1

en 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Gen 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Gen 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Gen 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Gen 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Gen 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
Gen 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Answer 2

Actually, evolution has been observed, at least on a small scale.
Not all species evolved at the same time. Look at turtles and cats. Quite different timing there.
The Earth is much oldet than 6-10,000 years old.
There are transitional fossils. All creatures are transitional.
Evolution doesn't say that things evolve entirely by chance.
The second law of thermodynamics doesn't refute evolution at all.
Almost all of science is theory. A theory is a hypothesis that has been supported by observed fact. Nuclear bombs are designed using theories rather than laws.
And complex organs were addressed even by Darwin. There is significant theory as to how these organs came about. If God had wished man to have perfect eyes, why wouldn't we have the visual capacity of other creatures who an see much more than we do?

Basically, this means that Creation science is all about junk science. It is merely an attempt to try to prove a Biblical viewpoint in the face of contradictory evidence.

Answer 3

It would benefit human life more if humans would believe it. People seem to forget that God is God and can do anything He wants. There has to be a "first cause". Evolutionary theory has too many holes in it. How come they found soft tissue in dinosaur bones that are supposed to be millions of years old? If the universe is so old, how come the earth's magnetic field is young? How come carbon dating is so unreliable? How come lava looks like it's very old about an hour after it hardens? What about all the evidence of a world wide flood? Why don't you stop fighting God? You'll only lose if you don't.

Answer 4

Creationism serves two purposes. From a religious standpoint it serves to support the Doctrine of Biblical Literalism. This is the doctrine that the Bible is the literal word of God (despite the vast contradictions). This is used to control the faithful. The other purpose was political. "Scientific" Creationism was framed as a means of trying to slip religion into public education. It is an attempt to stifle intellectual curiosity and preserve control by suppressing alternate ideas.

Answer 5

Creationism is basically an anti-evolution stance. It argues against evolution as if it proves its own beliefs, and thus, it's virtually always arguing negation. When it tries to substantiate a particular fact or idea, it does so for the purpose of negation. When you add to that the fact that it very rarely has any science, I think you've given it more credit than it's due.

Answer 6

Creation science believes that both evolutionists and creationists have the same evidence before them, but each side attributes different meaning to the evidence. For example, evolutionists see rock layers as evidence of millions of years of changes but creationists see it as evidence of a worldwide flood.

Most of the great scientists in history have been creationists, so I'd dismiss anyone who says that science and creationism cannot coexist. Human evolution was not proposed in any significant way until 1863, so virtually all scientists before that (Newton, Pascal, Maxwell, etc.) believed in 7-day creation.

Answer 7

The only thing you missed is that creation"science" is nothing more than the Old Testament Bible masquerading as a science text. You covered all the other BS.

Answer 8

Creationism is all about God that created the world. He sent his Son, Jesus into the world to save us from our sin, and we will go to heaven... well i guess that's more Christianity. If you would like to know more about Christianity, look in the bible in the first chapters of Genesis, and Matthew!

Answer 9

Creationism is a rather lame attempt to make a fable a reality.

Answer 10

Basically creationism is the big bang theory

Answer 11

It's very simple, actually. It's religious dogma dressed up in scientific-sounding language. That's it. That's all it is.
