Science is simply the systematic application of the scientific method to any question or set of questions. To say that the scientific approach has no business answering any questions about the past is to deny that any meaningful understanding of human history may be achieved, except for those things which are recorded in the Bible. Indeed, before the scientific method was applied to the study of history, all sorts of things that aren't true were believed. For example, Herodotus recorded many things that no one alive today could believe, despite his clear understanding of himself as a transmitter of historical fact. At best, this is a semantic quibble; if you want to define science to mean operational science, then so be it, but that doesn't a priori discredit the application of the principles of observation and inference to the clues we have about the past. A good defense of creationism puts up good evidence, and I don't see how it is ever fruitful to deny the importance of of constructing a predictive theory compatible with observable evidence.

One may develop a theory and have observation and experiment advance it. What is happenning is that the push behind the evolutin theory is ignoring huge problems with their theory and telling students it is fact and then building more theories on that unprovable foundation. Then secondly they reject other tenable theories and refuse to give them their due. this is propaganda......historians can tell you what happens next.
