A creation scientist is one who attempts to use traditional tools of science to prove the scientific factuality of the Bible. Creation scientists proceed along the following syllogism in defending their faith:
- 1. A system of beliefs is only fact if scientifically verifiable.
- 2. The Bible is scientifically verifiable.
- 3. Therefore the Bible is fact.
Where former Christians accepted the Bible on faith, creation scientists seek to defend its inerrancy solely on scientific grounds.
United States courts have consistently held that creation science, as practiced by creation scientists, is a form of religion. See, e.g., Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, 400 F. Supp.2d 724.
