The thing that frightens me about creation science is that since they are so far out of date in other scientific fields eg. their geology (ie flood geology) is over 150 years out of date, creationist astronomy is completely off (the earth was created before the sun, denying recent discoveries like the kuiper belt etc.) what happens when we get to Biology and in particular medical science.
