"....In our effort to demonstrate the essential unity of religion and science, we specifically want to avoid the superficial and metaphysically incoherent approach of the materialists, which essentially reduces to magic -- no different than the young earth creationist who sees God as a kind of magician. But creation is not magic; rather, it is thoroughly rooted in, and infused with, order and Reason. Yes, there are myths that describe creation as if it were a giant magic act, but the purpose of myth is to awaken Truth within, not to force consent from without. ..." HERE
Creationism may be rooted in order and reason. Scientific it is not. It would help itself most by not pretending to be. But then it would erase its reason for being, which is to supplant what it sees as the cold and artificial mechanistic worldview not started by yet greatly empowered by Darwinism.
I would suggest it retreat back into metaphysics and not threaten Darwinists on their own turf, because there’s more than one way to supplant them. Consider instead of you conquering them and occupying their turf their population spontaneously migrating over to yours.
