Actually Creation Scientists do not promote 'creation theory'.
They know they can't, because no respectable scientist will pebble
a scientific theory with non scientific stuffs, like God.
Instead they wrap their theory with science and call it just that -
creation science.
This is the danger. Like what evolutionists always say, to accept
creation science is to *overturn* many other branches of science,
like paleontology, geology, astronomy etc.
A truly balanced view is easy to come by, 'cos both sides are
discussing science. The problem is creation scientists do not dare
to rise up to the challenge.
