Abstract
One of the most common arguments used against the inclusion of creation in the United States public-school science curriculum is that creation is not scientific. It is asserted that the biblical account of beginnings is beyond the realm of scientific investigation because it describes the miraculous. The especially abundant verbiage against the term "scientific creationism" has included such labels as semantic fallacy, glorious fake, pseudoscience, the equivalent of medical quackery, and oxymoron. Creationists have countered by asking whether evolution might not also be a religion.
