What actually is 'creation science'?
What is 'Christian science'? Islamic science? Hindu science? Is there such a thing as 'atheist science'?
Is there conceivably such a thing as 'socialist science'? 'Fascist science'?
Would 'socialist science', for example, necessarily conclude that we are all born equal? Would 'fascist science' necessarily conclude that there is a genetic elite of some sort?
Does the very need to prefix the word science with a label that indicates predetermined conclusions indicate a complete lack of objectivity and therefore make the "science" in question wholly unscientific?
Is XXXX Science actually a contradiction in terms?
(where XXXX is any ideology or belief system you care to think of)
Given the nature of this forum my target is obviously 'creation science'.
If creationists want to claim that 'Evolutionary science' is a belief based science here AND can make a case for it then I would like that to be considered on topic - AS LONG AS - they also address the main question -
Is XXXXX Science a contradiction in terms where XXXXX is ANY ideology or belief system?
