Creation Science
Creation science is a belief system that interprets scientific evidence in a way that supports a literal interpretation of the Biblical creation story, particularly the account in Genesis. Proponents argue that the universe and life were created by God, often rejecting or reinterpreting evolutionary theory and the age of the Earth as understood by mainstream science. Creation scientists often seek to provide alternative explanations for various scientific phenomena, using both religious texts and scientific inquiry, but their views are not widely accepted in the scientific community due to a lack of empirical support and methodological rigor.
