[[File:Images.jpg|thumbnail|375px|right|The [[Creation Research Society]] is a professional organization of trained scientists and interested laypersons committed to the scientific study of special creation as given in the book of [[Genesis]]. They publish a quarterly peer-reviewed [[Creation Research Society Quarterly Journal|creation science journal]].<ref>[http://www.creationresearch.org/index.html The Creation Research Society]</ref> ]]'''Creation science''' is a systematic attempt branch of [[science]] which sets out to show that scientific evidence [[supernatural]] [[creation]] of the material [[universe]] by [[God]] is consistent and compatible with the natural world and various forms of animals being available scientific evidence. Being in the result realm of [[Godorigins science]] , creation science is a historical science.<ref>[https://creation.com/its-not-science It's not science] by [supernatural|supernaturally[Creation Ministries International]] creating these various entities</ref><ref>[http://creationrevolution. com/2011/05/naturalism-doesn%E2%80%99t-work/ Naturalism Doesn’t Work]</ref><ref>[http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/ee/what-is-science What is science?]</ref> Most advocates of creation scientists science believe the [[young earth creationism|earth is approximately about 6,000 yearsold]], and they publish scientific evidence supporting this view (See, for example, [[Counterexamples to an Old Earth]]). The ongoing discovery of hundreds of [[living fossils]] correlates well with creation science but finds no answer in Darwinian theory.<ref>Thomas, B. 2015. 'Living Fossils' Point to Recent Creation . Acts & Facts. [https://www.icr.org/article/8974/268]</ref> In addition, scientists in the discipline of creation science state that the [[First Law of Thermodynamics|first law of thermodynamics]] and [[second law of thermodynamics]] argue against an eternal universe. They also assert 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 naturalistic processes alone cannot account for the [[origin of life]] and that the [[Theory of evolutionEvolution|theory of evolution]] cannot account for 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 evolutionists believe is the case.<ref>[[Creation Ministries International]], [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3036/ Speciation: Questions and Answers]</ref>  [[Creation Ministries International]], a leading [[Bible|biblical]] [[creation]] science organization, declared: {{cquote|Creationist research is having a global effect that is worrying the [[atheism|atheists]] and secularists of this world. They have had it all their own way for over a century but things are slowly changing. For almost twenty five years now, ''Journal of Creation'' has been publishing cutting-edge creationist research that has been fueling the war against [[evolution]], creating little fires all around the world, including [[Great Britain]].  Atheist evangelist, Prof [[Richard Dawkins]], speaking at the 20th anniversary of the Edinburgh International Science Festival in April 2008, said the rise of creationism in British schools raised a serious problem for science teachers. It is a very worrying trend,’ he said, ‘and I think a lot of it has come over from [[United States|America]] and [[Australia]].’<ref>https://creation.com/growth-of-creation-science-in-uk-worries-prof-dawkins</ref>}} 
== Creation Science and Genetic Programs and Biological Information ==
''For more on the topic of the origin of biological information see:''[[{{Main|Intelligent design]]}}[[Image:Foto Gitt.jpg|leftright|thumb|200px|Dr. [[Werner Gitt]]]]Creationists Scientists in the area of creation science and [[intelligent design]] advocates state the [[genetic code]], [[genetic program]]sprograms, and biological [[information]] argue for an intelligent cause in regards to 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 processes thousands of times more [[bit]]s of information than all the information than is contained in the world’s world's librariescontain.<ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/ReferencesandNotes17.html</ref>
Dr. Gitt has written several points regarding the origin of biological information:
#In his work ''In the Beginning Was Information'' Dr. Gitt stated that “There is no known law of nature, no known process and no known sequence of events which can cause information to originate by itself in matter.” <ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/ReferencesandNotes17.html#wp1484094</ref>#Dr. Gitt argued that the [[density]] and complexity of [[DNA]] information is millions of times larger than mankind's current technology and this means a supremely intelligent being was the author of this information.<ref>http://www.gnmagazine.org/issues/gn58/tinycode_dna.htm</ref> Similarly , Dr. [[Stephen C. Meyer]] in his 1996 essay ''The [[Origin of life|Origin of Life]] and the Death of [[Materialism]]'' , wrote that "the information storage density of DNA, thanks in part to nucleosome spooling, is several trillion times that of our most advance advanced [[computer chip]]s.<ref>http://www.arn.org/docs/meyer/sm_origins.htm</ref>#Gitt stated that the author of the information encoded into the DNA [[molecule]] , who constructed the molecular biomachines to encode, decode and run the cells was supremely intelligent.<ref>http://www.gnmagazine.org/issues/gn58/tinycode_dna.htm</ref>
#Dr. Gitt asserted that because information is a nonmaterial entity and does not originate from matter, the author of biological information must be nonmaterial ([[spirit]]).<ref>http://www.gnmagazine.org/issues/gn58/tinycode_dna.htm</ref>
[[Image:Waltbrown.gif‎|right|thumb|200px|Dr. [[Walt Brown]]]]
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>

{{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. Trevors, “Three Subsets of Sequence Complexity and Their Relevance to Biopolymeric Information,” Theoretical Biology & Medical Modelling, Vol. 2, 11 August 2005, page 8<ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/ReferencesandNotes17.html#wp1467742</ref><ref>http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1208958</ref>}}

The effect of evolutionism/[[atheism]]/[[agnosticism]] on the [[Western World]] and the world at large was mitigated by the growth of modern creationism and [[Christian apologetics]] in the latter half of the 20th century and today [[global creationism]], Christian apologetics and [[global Christianity]] is seeing rapid growth.<ref>[http://spectator.org/archives/2011/02/28/thriving-christianity Thriving Christianity]</ref><ref>[http://www.brethrenassembly.com/Ebooks/Apol_001A.pdf Introduction To Integrated Christian Apologetics, Dr. Johnson C.

==Creation Science and the Evolutionary Science Community==
Creation science is not accepted considered as pseudoscience by most scientists either in terms the majority of its claimsthe scientific community. It is also commonly rejected by [[Atheism|atheists]] as they generally hold the [[worldview]] of [[Naturalism (philosophy)|naturalism]]. Liberals reject Creation Science with the spurious pretext that it cannot be disproved ([[falsifiable|falsifiability]]) and therefore cannot be considered "[[science]]".<ref>95% of scientists accept the theory of evolutionhttps://web. Robinson, Barchive.Aorg/web/19991013122341/https://abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/evolutionviews990816.html</ref><ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/FAQ13.html#wp2727001</ref>  '''''However, Dr. [[Walt Brown]] argues that the field of creation science is scientific'''''<ref>http://www.religioustolerancecreationscience.orgcom/ev_publionlinebook/FAQ13.htm Public beliefs about evolution html#wp2727001</ref> and the evolutionists' objections to creation]science are due to their worldviews and preconceptions, Ontario Consultants rather than on Religious Tolerancethe basis of scientific evidence or the scientific validity of the idea.<ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/news/scientific_american.asp</ref>Also, May 7[[Karl Popper]], 2007a leading philosopher of science and originator of falsifiability as a criterion of demarcation of science from nonscience,<ref>* http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/popper/* http://www.discovery.org/a/3524</ref> or as stated that Darwinism is "not a testable scientific theory, but a [[Metaphysics|metaphysical]] research programme."<ref>http://members.iinet.net.au/~sejones/PoE/pe05scnc.html</ref> Michael Ruse, a leading Darwinist and philosopher of science, {{fact}} conditionally acknowledged Popper's statement: "Since making this claim, Popper himself has modified his position somewhat; but it is claimed by creation scientists , disclaimers aside, I suspect that this even now he does not really believe that Darwinism in its modern form is due mainly to genuinely falsifiable."<ref>http://members.iinet.net.au/~sejones/PoE/pe05scnc.html</ref> However prominent evolutionist [[J.

Although a belief in God==See also ==*[[Bill Keith]], does not automatically imply a belief in creationisim, it is interesting to note that a poll among United States scientists showed that approximately 55% author of scientists believed there is a God <ref> http://wwwthe Louisiana Balanced Treatment Act, struck down by U.ovprS.ugaSupreme Court*[[Creation vs.edu/researchnews/97su/faithEvolution Videos]]*[[Creation vs.html</ref>, while a similar survey found that 93% of members of the evolution debates]]*[[United States National Academy Creation]]*[[Creationism]]*[[Revolution Against Evolution website]]*[[Christianity and Science]]*[[Theory of SciencesEvolution, Liberalism, Atheism, and Irrationality]]*[[Creationist contributions to science]]*[[Scriptural geologists‎]]*[[Counterexamples to an Old Earth‎]] do not believe there is a God <ref> http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v394/n6691/full/394313a0.html</ref>
