Re: Non-Theist Creationists?
Given that the topic is "Creation Science" it is important to note that "Creation Science" is explicitly a project of Young Earth Creationists, who reject even Old Earth Creationism as not adhering closely enough to a literal interpretation of Genesis.
"Creation Science" is an attempt to pretend that apologetics for a sectarian religious position - that the literalist interpretation of Genesis favoured by YECs is infallibly true - is valid science. It isn't. When they tried to get their materials taught in the U.S. public school system the courts recognised what was going on and - upholding the Constitution - rejected their attempts.
(ID is much like "Creation Science" - and in fact was started to get around the problem that "Creation Science" was so obviously religious. Like "Creation Science", however, its claims to be scientific are mostly a pretence).
