However, creationists reject all of this. According to creationism, humans sprouted fully-formed in our current state, as did all animal "kinds" (a term which creationists use instead of "species", but which is curiously undefined). In an attempt to co-opt the language of science (if not its methods), they even call it "Creation Theory", even though a scientific theory should allow one to derive specific predictions from a defined mechanism: something which is impossible for "Creation Theory".
Of course, none of this is a problem for creationism because it is not (despite its claims to the contrary) a scientific movement. It is a religiously motivated political movement, which is why they publish all of their "research" directly to the general public rather than letting other scientists subject it to peer review. Unfortunately, there are many kinds of arguments which are far more convincing to someone who struggled with grade 11 chemistry than someone who actually studied science at the university level, which is why creationism enjoys more than 50% support from the American public while languishing at less than 1% among scientists.
