I prefer the term "creation science" as opposed to "creationism". The reason for this is that the original conception of a creationist was one that believes in a literal creation according to the Genesis account and based only on that account; i.e., no science to explain the creation events. These are people that I view as mainstream Christian creationists. However, since the mid twentieth century, there is a group of Christians that have started interjecting their ideas of science into the Genesis account to explain those events. Unfortunately, well accepted and understood (mainstream) science does not agree with creation science. I suggest three things that need to be understood with this conflict. First, there are very few actual scientists that actually write this literature. Second, of those who actually have some sort of scientific credentials, publish completely out of their field of expertise, with very little exception. Third, there is a huge amount of this science deliberately misrepresented. That is, they claim "mainstream" science says many things it does not, thus deliberately misleading their intended audience, which by the way is not the scientific community, rather an audience hugely ignorant of science hearing what they want to hear knowing they will never fact check anything.
