This afternoon I caught up on the 'lastest' "The Brokenwood Mysteries" episode, "Brokenwood-o-saurus" https://www.imdb.com/ title/tt31272072/?ref_=ttep_ep1 which had me thinking about this group as the story was about a very religious paleontologist ..... isn't that a contradiction?? A Person who believes The Earth came into existance just 10,000 years ago (in the program) but at the same time believes dinosaurs existed a hundred million years ago.
 Sort of like our very own 'religious' nut who believes God created Earth (alone) 6,000 years ago but accepts there could be intelligent lifeforms from other planets .... that weren't made by God!! ;-P

 uAnd then there are Creationist scientists.

 No, Dave, there really aren't, except in a "first cause old Earth
Creationist" sense.
 Unless you are stretching the definition of "science". I bet you won't find any New Earth Creationist biologists, physicists, astronomers, geologists, or biochemists, for example.
 No-one expert in any science that would be relevant to supporting
Creationism is a New Earth Creationist because it's self evidently false given the vast weight of scientific evidence against it and the complete and utter absence of even one point of evidence that would support it.

 Sounds like anti-Christian bigotry to me.

 There are a great many scientists who are Christian. There are vanishingly few who are Biblical Literalists or New Age Creationists because anyone with a critical mind and even modest intelligence knows that these concepts are just plain wrong and run counter to reason and to a faith that can ve credible. So only people who are prepared to lie to themselves and the people around them constantly could practise honest science while holding beliefs thatrun counter to fact, to reality, and to their scientific knowledge.
 It isn't bigotry to recognise lies and stupidity, Dave, and it isn't
anti-Christian - it's just common sense and having an honest faith.

 Common sense would dictate Genesis is correct and Creation science is a REAL science.

 No, Dave, it really, really doesn't and it really, really isn't.

 I was going to dismiss "Creation Science" as another binky fantasy but a quick Google search reveals the number of deluded folks who are buying into this nonsense.
 As for "Genesis", which story is the real one binky, Genesis 1 or 2?

Not to mention the bits the church leaders probably edited out simply because they didn't like them.
