It may seem like just a word, but “creationism” is something that sparks anger in many in science. The reaction is often to belittle, mock, deride, etc. That’s odd since everyone is in some form or fashion a, “creationist”. You may believe in a real Creator, or a fictional one like “evolution”, but everyone has some concept of how living creatures came to be. If your faith is in “science”, you will likely trust their creation stories. Much of what “science” is founded on depends on Darwin’s ideas regarding, “origins”.

All creatures have been “created”. They “originated” somehow. There’s no way around this fact. Each one is packed with information that enables them to thrive and reproduce. You can account for this by looking to a fabulously wise “Creator” or go with pop-science’s explanations that offer baseless claims of nature “self-creating”. Science seem convincing if you go along with “natural creationism”, but if not science becomes just another superstitious house of cards. Much of the “body of knowledge” that science claims to possess becomes dubious.
