--I guess we still don't understand the full model, but atleast were getting somewhere. Creation science is simply 'science' that is given the name creation science by the perspective of the higher classified 'creationism' in the hierarchy. Creation science and faith form creationism. Creation science for instance, is science, and looked upon as 'creation science' for its interperetation for a young earth, which is fully evidence/science based. When looked upon by Creationism, creationism uses creation science to then apply it to the biblical doctrine, which is why it is intertwined with faith. Thus Creation science is not based on the validity of the bible or faith in it to substantiate it as scientific, it simply is.
But the whole creation science approach the question of human origin with the preconceived and pre-accepted conviction that the earth was "created" by someone,meaning that its comming into being is the result of the act or acts of an intelligent mind. The word creation is in itself a biblical word in this context. The reason why i doubt that creation science IS science is because the conclusion that the world was made by God is reached BEFORE any study of the question is even done. And with that prior conviction in mind,creationists then begin to gather evidence they can interpret in a way that fits their pre-reached conclusion. I call this approach flawed because it will irrevocably taint your interpretation of the evidence you come across,something i pointed out was very evident in your arguments,given that you dont seem to hesitate to latch on just about any possible evidence supporting your position without stopping to consider the likelyhood of it,something that EVERY scientist of every field should always do as a matter of course. It also means that by definition,you will resist evidence that cast doubts on your preconceived conclusion and try to forcibly interpret them in a more acceptable light to your POV instead of examining the evidence for what it actually says and then letting IT guide you to the conclusion IT actually supports,whatever that may be.
