Tieteellisen kreationismin saavutukset

Mitä onkaan "tieteellinen kreationismi" antanut ihmiskunnalle?
Lyhyt katsaus auttaa lukijaa ymmärtämään tutkimuksen laadun.

Huolimatta kaikesta puheesta, kreationistien/kreationistinen tutkimus ei näyttäisi esiintyvän tieteellisessä kirjallisuudessa.
"No empirical, experimental, or theoretical evidence ... has been published in peer-reviewed science journals ...".

Scott ja Cole (1985) tutkivat läpi 68 lehteä, etsiskellen kreationismia tukevia tutkimuksia;

"Out of 135,000 submissions from 1980 to 1983, only 18 (0.01 percent) dealt with scientific support for creationism. Of these 18 articles, 12 were submitted to one science education journal (not the appropriate place for genuinely new findings)." Fifteen of the manuscripts were rejected on grounds of poor scholarship. Three were still under review during the survey (Dr. Scott has informed me that the remaining three manuscripts were subsequently rejected).
Obviously there is no such thing as "scientific creationism" in the professional literature of science. It exists only in the house publications of creationist organizations ..." (1)

Vai niin. Katsotaanpa lisää;
"In this connection, consider the following statement that appeared in the September, 1985, issue of Science
85:

A three-year data-base search of 4000 scientific publications--focusing on the names of people associated with the Institution for Creation Research and on phrases and keywords such as "creation-
ism"--didn't turn up a single paper. A follow-up study of 68 journals found that only 18 of 135,000 total manuscript submissions concerned scientific creationism, and all 18 were rejected. Reasons cited included "flawed arguments," "ramblings," and a "high-school theme quality." (Vol. 6, no. 7, p. 11)

"...In the mid-1990s George W. Gilchrist of the University of Washington surveyed thousands of journals in the primary literature, seeking articles on intelligent design or creation science. Among those hundreds of thousands of scientific reports, he found none. In the past two years, surveys done independently by Barbara Forrest of Southeastern Louisiana University and Lawrence M. Krauss of Case Western Reserve University have been similarly fruitless.

Creationists retort that a closed-minded scientific community rejects their evidence. Yet according to the editors of Nature, Science and other leading journals, few antievolution manuscripts are even submitted. Some antievolution authors have published papers in serious journals. Those papers, however, rarely attack evolution directly or advance creationist arguments; at best, they identify certain evolutionary problems as unsolved and difficult (which no one disputes). In short, creationists are not giving the scientific world good reason to take them seriously." (3)
