"Creation Science" is a term used by fundamentalist Christians to try to take their view of the world when it comes to how it is was created, and to take their religious view on how man was 'created' and find 'scientific explanations' for it. Because they start with the preconceptions that the world is 6-12,000 years old, and man was literaly created from dust by God in the garden of Eden, they reject
or misrepresent any evidence to the contrary. In other words, it is not science, but rather religion that is trying to mascarade as science.
"Creation science" is not science, but rather the antithesis of science.
The scientific method demands that when evidence to the contrary to a theory or hypothesis is discovered, the theory or hypothesis is either modified to meet the new evidence, or discarded.
With 'Creation science', if evidence is found to be contrary to the initial beliefs, then the evidence is modified or discarded, or just plain lied about.
