A quick definition of creation science:

Creation science is the idea that scientific evidence and knowledge can be used to support the belief that the universe was created according to the biblical account. This is also known as creationism. However, a law in Louisiana that required the teaching of creationism alongside evolution was found to be unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court because it lacked a clear secular purpose. Scientific creationism is a similar belief that the biblical account of creation is supported by scientific evidence.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Creation science is the interpretation of scientific evidence, arguments, and knowledge to support the belief in creationism. Creationism is the teaching of the biblical version of the creation of the universe.

For example, some people who believe in creationism use scientific evidence to argue that the Earth is only a few thousand years old, as opposed to the billions of years old that scientists believe it to be. They may also argue that certain features of the natural world, such as the complexity of living organisms, can only be explained by the existence of a divine creator.

However, the teaching of creationism in public schools has been found to be unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. In 1987, the Court ruled that a Louisiana law that required the teaching of creationism alongside evolution violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which prohibits the government from promoting any particular religion.

Some people who believe in creationism also subscribe to the doctrine of scientific creationism, which holds that the biblical account of creation is supported by scientific evidence. However, this view is not widely accepted by the scientific community.
