Creationism, teaching evolution
Creationism, teaching evolution
"Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances,... and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn."

Creationism begins with a conclusion. It then collects arguments to support the conclusion or to detract from opposing conclusions. Conclusions are not tested experimentally. The method, known as apologetics, is a form of rationalizing which was employed extensively by the Catholic church to support doctrine, especially before Vatican II. Rejecting accepted dogma is heresy, which is punished by excommunication. Apologetics do not improve understanding of the natural world. Since they discourage experiment and are immune to change, they are antiscientific.
