'Creationism' is the belief that the Universe was created by some sort of divine invervention. It's real popular with the religious right, but it has no basis at all in observational scientific fact.

It's a belief, not a science.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Creationism" can also refer to origin beliefs in general, or to a concept about the origin of the soul.
Creationism is the belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their original form by a deity or deities (often the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam), whose existence is presupposed. In relation to the creation-evolution controversy the term creationism (or strict creationism) is commonly used to refer to rejection of evolution.
The wide spectrum of such beliefs includes young Earth creationism holding a very literal interpretation of Genesis, while old Earth creationism accepts geological findings but rejects evolution. The term theistic evolution has been coined to refer to beliefs in creation which are compatible with popular scientific opinions on evolution and the age of the Earth.
Creationism in the West is primarily based on creation according to Genesis, and in its broad sense covers a wide range of beliefs and interpretations. Through the 19th century the term most commonly referred to direct creation of individual souls, in contrast to traducianism, but in 1929 in the United States the term became particularly associated with Christian fundamentalist opposition to human evolution and belief in flood geology. Several states passed laws against the teaching of evolution in public schools, as upheld in the Scopes Trial.

Creation science is, first of all, NOT science. It is an attempt from religious groups to give an alternate, faith-based account to the origin of the world.
It doesn't work as a scientific theory because it violates any record of proven scientific data, and it requires blind faith of the accounts stated in the Bible. It qualifies as a religion, and that's it.
