Just checked....
.....nope, still no such thing as "creation science".
Weren't you the one who could not figure out how science backs up the Bible? You got some bad sources and would not be able to comprehend it even if it hit you on the head. Creation science and Gregor Mendel showed Darwin's ToE was wrong.
There are such things as god of the world and prince of the air and sons of God. I'm sure you'll learn when the time comes when they run wild and try to take over the planet.
Generally speaking, it’s a bad idea to attempt to reconcile religious scriptures with observed empirical data. Any claim that literal scripture is supported by scientific data is just too easy to disprove and it makes for an unproductive discussion.
However, there are many areas where science cannot provide a reasonable explanation - example, pre-Big Bang or reconciliation of the infinity of the universe vs the finite nature of physical space that aren’t in conflict with a metaphorical interpretation of scripture.
At the end of the day, it’s not as important what people believe as it is to accept that people believe differently and to always engage in respectful dialogue when discussing those differences.
I would think that it's secular scientists who try to gather data to fit their theories instead of making theories to fit the data. For example, we find that Darwin's theories have fallen by the wayside. His version of natural selection is slow while creationists' natural selection is rapid. We are able to observe changes to species as scientists know what to look for. His ToE has a tree of life and we are finding that it is more bushes of life. Finally, his theory of change due to heritable physical or behavioral traits due to environment has been replaced by epigenetics. ToE is now neo-Darwinism.
As for your assertion that creation scientists attempt to reconcile religious scripture, it is not correct. Scripture is used as hypothesis for what we find in nature. For example, gravity is considered a strong force when including distance. OTOH, secular science usually refers to it as the weakest force because magnetic force can overcome earth's pull of gravity. There is no place in the universe that any object can escape gravitational forces. One can't escape it in a vacuum. In 2017, science discovered that the chicken came before the egg. This is because the protein OV-17 is coated on the eggshell and this protein is only produced by the chicken. Proteins cannot be produced outside the cell due to chilarity. The Bible states God created adult animals, plants and trees. Secular science tries to contradict this finding, but they have no evidence to back up their revision to their hypothesis that the egg came before the chicken. They cannot produce the protein OV-17 outside the chicken.
