Definition: Creationism is the religious doctrine, opposed to naturalistic evolution, that life on this planet was created by a special, unique act of God. Creationism goes beyond this traditional religious belief, however, in asserting that this belief can be proven empirically and scientifically.
Unfortunately for creationists, science only deal with natural events which are repeatable, not supernatural events which never repeat - thus, by definition, creationism can never be scientific. It must always remain a pseudoscience, based more upon faith than upon actual evidence or internal logic.
