the Creationist rely on one thing over all FAITH. The scientist relies on Investigations and proof and has no faith in a theory if they cant prove what happened and reproduce it. Science is not faith and faith has no place in science. let them teach a faith course if they want. but dont mix the two or you will get a jackalope or nessi in your lake or yetti in your back yard. Finally with all sciences believing is not knowing and we are only starting to prove how things works and have a lot more to learn.
Actually, science is based on the 'a priori' metaphysical axiom that only natural explanations are acceptable.
Hopefully, no thinking person is deceived when 'science' arrives at a 'natural' explanation. No other explanation is allowed, by definition.
Don't kid yourself. The [naturalistic] scientist acts as much on faith as the [creationist] scientist. There is no such thing as a scientist who is totally objective and neutral. That is a myth of the highest order. It is virtually impossible to hold to such a position. Be honest with yourself. Many things are assumed true before the scientist steps foot into the lab, regardless of which flavor you are talking about.
