This has become a debate between faith and reason. Additionally, one may question whether creationism can be considered a viable scientific model. While creationism can give people something to believe in, creationism and religion fall short to be considered a viable scientific model because creationism is based on faith, structured around the fact of believing in something in the absence of evidence.

The flaw with this belief is that the idea of evolution is rejected and difficult to teach because of these very own religious fundamentals. Researchers can disprove the theory that the universe was created 10,000 years ago, but there is backlash from those with religious backgrounds. There is a difficulty in the promotion of new ideas and the challenging of these ideas that influence scientific
