Science is essential to Western Exceptionalism.
James “Hutton was, for a time, a farmer — and in that occupation, observing the process of erosion and the laying down of deposits of various materials, he realized that the landscape he saw around him could be explained by the same forces operating over immense periods of time, as long as you posited that there were other forces uplifting ancient sediments to form today’s geological features. How could he know whether this theory was right? He made predictions; in particular, that in places you would find ‘angular uncomformities’, striated bodies of sedimentary rocks from different eras that were tilted relative to each other. And sure enough, as this photo from Wikipedia Commons shows, he found them”
Creationism is not science. It is flawed theology. There is no need to prove God or God’s role in the world. Why is faith no longer good enough?
