I still don't understand how creationism is science. Do we teach that gravity is an intelligent hand pushing you down? Scientists don't normally give up and say "Well... I am not sure of the answer so it must be designed that way by some unknown (or known) intelligence". That doesn't seem to be science to me.

Nobody is saying *creationsim* IS science but most people simply do not see anything wrong with it being addressed when discussing the ORIGIN of life. IMO, science is restricting itself too much in an attempt to keep ANY *non-natural* explanation out of the picture. Insisting that there is no supernatural explanation, starts scientific inquiry with a presumption. This biases their views and conclusions, whether scientists like to admit it or not.

True. But just assume for a minute we were designed by a higher power. In that case, no matter what science comes up with will be wrong, since they do not allow for that possibility. It will be science. But it will also be wrong.

Go study creationism before you make stupid remarks about it.

The focal point is that a mind is behind what we observe on earth and in the universe. It is the same as looking at car. We can look at it and say it has evolved into what it is today but instead we say that there are designers and manufacturers behind the car that we see.
