Gosh. And "some people" feel a strange need to feel superior to "some people."
I don't get the creation science thing myself. People cling to it in the belief that it will destroy Christianity in a way that Galileo's failure to find the firmament or to see angels pushing the planets around could not.
The Bible is not a scientific work. It is a theological and philosophical collection meant to have meaning for people who lived at a time when zero hadn't been conceived and forty meant a long, long time. That's why it talks about the ends of the earth. Science is left for man to discover. Otherwise, Jesus might have helped a few folks out by showing them how to make generators and electric circuits.
By the same token, someone who actually understands science, as opposed to merely making the claim, knows that science is not without limits and not without its own forms of mysticism.
Science is limited to the observable. Science is also based (like math) on a small set of unprovable assumptions. That's not a criticism. You can't do anything without defining a framework.
Scientists are prone to a near-mystical belief in Occam's razor and their own insight. Neither is infallible. Just ask a Coelacanth.
