'''Creation science''' is a systematic attempt to show that [[supernatural]] [[creation]] of the material [[universe]] by [[God]]  is consistent and compatible with scientific evidence. Most creation scientists believe the [[young earth creationism|earth is approximately 6,000 years]]. In addition, creation scientists state that the [[First Law of Thermodynamics|first law of thermodynamics]] and [[Second law of thermodynamics|second law of thermodynamics]] argue against an eternal universe and they also claim that these laws point to the universe being created by [[God]].<ref>[http://godevidences.net/space/lawsofscience.php Evidences for God From Space&mdash;Laws of Science]</ref><ref>Thompson, Bert, [http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/2329 So Long, Eternal Universe; Hello Beginning, Hello End!], 2001 (Apologetics Press)</ref><ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/AstroPhysicalSciences14.html</ref> Creation scientists also assert that the naturalistic processes cannot account for the [[origin of life]] and that the [[Theory of evolution|theory of evolution]] cannot account the various kinds of animals and plants. Both evolutionary scientists and [[Young earth creationism|young earth creation]] scientists believe that [[speciation]] occurs, however, young earth creation scientists state that speciation generally occurs at a much faster rate than evolutionist believe is the case.<ref>[[Creation Ministries International]], [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3036/ Speciation: Questions and Answers]</ref> Many creation scientists and creationists such as the scientists and creationists at [[Creation Ministries International]] and [[CreationWiki]] assert that the Bible contains knowledge that shows an understanding of scientific knowledge beyond that believed to exist at the time the Bible was composed.<ref>[http://creationwiki.org/index.php/Bible_scientific_foreknowledge Bible Scientific Foreknowledge]</ref><ref> http://creationontheweb.com/content/view/1718/</ref> In addition, [[Christianity]] had a profound influence in regards to the [[Christianity and Science|development of modern science]].

Creationists and [[intelligent design]] advocates state the [[genetic code]], [[genetic program]]s, and biological [[information]] argue for an intelligent cause in regards the origins question.<ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/LifeSciences18.html</ref><ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/infotheory.asp</ref><ref>http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/index.php?command=view&id=118</ref>

Dr. [[Werner Gitt]], former director and Professor of Information Systems at the prestigious German Federal Institute of Physics and Technology ([[Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt]]), wrote that human beings are the most complex [[information]] processing systems on earth and Dr. Gitt estimated that the human body processed thousands of times more [[bit]]s of information than all the information than is contained in the world’s libraries.<ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/ReferencesandNotes17.html</ref>

Dr. [[Walt Brown]] concurs in regards to the [[supernatural]] origin of biological information and states the genetic material that controls the biological processes of life is coded information and that human experience tells us that [[codes]] are created only by the result of intelligence and not merely by processes of nature.<ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/LifeSciences18.html</ref> Dr. Brown also asserts that the "information stored in the genetic material of all life is a complex program. Therefore, it appears that an unfathomable intelligence created these genetic programs."<ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/LifeSciences18.html</ref>

To support his view regarding the divine origin of genetic programs Dr. Walt Brown cites the work of [[David Abel]] and Professor [[Jack Trevors]] who wrote the following:

{{cquote|No matter how many "bits" of possible combinations it has, there is no reason to call it "information" if it doesn't at least have the potential of producing something useful. What kind of information produces function? In computer science, we call it a "program." Another name for computer software is an "algorithm." No man-made program comes close to the technical brilliance of even Mycoplasmal genetic algorithms. Mycoplasmas are the simplest known organism with the smallest known genome, to date. How was its genome and other living organisms' genomes programmed? - David L. Abel and Jack T.

Creation science is not accepted by most scientists either in terms of its claims<ref>95% of scientists accept the theory of evolution. Robinson, B.A., [http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_publi.htm Public beliefs about evolution and creation], Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance, May 7, 2007.</ref> or as a science,{{fact}} on the pretext that it cannot be disproved and therefore cannot be considered "science". However, creation scientists say that it is due mainly to the worldviews and preconceptions of the scientists, rather than on the basis of scientific evidence or scientific validity of the idea.{{fact}}

Although a belief in God, does not automatically imply a belief in creationisim, it is interesting to note that a poll among United States scientists showed that approximately 55% of scientists believed there is a God,<ref> http://www.ovpr.uga.edu/researchnews/97su/faith.html</ref> while a similar survey found that 93% of members of the [[United States National Academy of Sciences]] do not believe there is a God.<ref> http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v394/n6691/full/394313a0.html</ref>
