== Do creationists start with their conclusion? ==
Creationists start with the assumption that there is a creator. But all scientists start with certain assumptions (see previous section), so starting with that assumption does not in and of itself mean that they are unable to do science.
Creationists start with the assumption that there is a creator. But all scientists start with certain assumptions (see previous section), so starting with that assumption does not in and of itself mean that creationism is unscientific.
The claim that creationists start with their conclusions whilst science starts with the evidence ignores two points:
* many scientists have become creationists because that is where the evidence led them.
* Many scientists are evolutionists because they start with that conclusion.
It is not inherent to creationism that one must start with the conclusion. And it is nonsense to suggest that evolutionists don't look for facts to support evolution.
