This list of creationist claims contains statements ostensibly made to support creationism, but which nearly always attack evolution (assuming the only alternative is creationism), and their associated counter-arguments. They without exception contain logical fallacies and mistakes of fact.

General[edit]

Antiscience[edit]

Astronomy[edit]

Biblical literalism[edit]

  • Scientific theory/hypothesis/result X contradicts Holy Scripture;[1] therefore:
    • (a) we reject scientific theory/hypothesis/result X (it "just doesn't make sense" - within the assumptions of the scriptural viewpoint). Or:
    • (b) we find some small inconsistency in it, and go to option (a). Or:
    • (c) we just ignore it.

That's logic! QED.

Biology/Evolution[edit]

Abiogenesis[edit]

Geology[edit]

Global flood[edit]

Intelligent design[edit]

Mathematics[edit]

Notes[edit]

  1. And there exist voluminous texts of Holy Scripture (sometimes vague or self-contradictory or pre-scientific in their worldview, sometimes requiring contorted interpretation), against which to calibrate/correlate scientific theory/hypothesis/result X.
