It denounces the theory of evolution and claims to represent authentic religion and science. Actually, it represents neither. Spokespersons for the mainstream religions, Catholic, Protestant and Jewish have officially come out against the creationist viewpoint as being not in agreement with modern biblical scholarship.
Scientists also reject the so-called science claimed to back up the creationist views.
All bills introduced into courts to insist on the teaching of the Creationist platform in public schools have been thrown out as unacceptable. The movement shows little regard for scientific discovery or for scholarly study of the bible or the literature on creation. The federal courts have pointed out that those persons who have appeared to project the Creationist point of view have no standing in at all in theological or scientific circles. Since knowledge is a seamless web, most of modern science would have to be abandoned for the pseudo-science of creationism to have any validity. This applies not only to biological evolution, but to related fields of genetics and molecular biology.
