Creation science is a systematic attempt to show that scientific evidence is consistent with the account of Creation in the Bible— usually with a literal six-day-creation interpretation—rather than the theory of evolution.
Creation science is not accepted by most scientists either in terms of its claims or as a science[Citation Needed], but it is claimed by creation scientists that this is due mainly to the worldviews and preconceptions of the scientists, rather than on the basis of scientific evidence[Citation Needed].
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 [1], while a similar survey found that 93% of members of the United States National Academy of Sciences do not believe there is a God [2]
