Philosophical creationism

Philosophical creationism is the defense of creationism on philosophical grounds. It is related to philosophical arguments for the existence of God and became part of natural theology.

"Philosophical Creationism: One of the single biggest misunderstandings about creationism is the notion that it is an alternative to evolution, or even universal common descent. However, creationism is not on the level of theory, but rather the philosophical level on which theories are based. In other words, creationism is an alternative to naturalism, not an alternative to any form of evolution. This is an important fact that is often missed by both sides. Consequently, it is true that creationism being a philosophical concept is not in and of itself scientific, but then again neither is naturalism. That is the key to understanding the difference between these two philosophical positions. What they both have in common is that each of them is a starting point for creating scientifically testable theories." -Charles Creager Jr., Times Examiner.
