Somewhere in 200-299 - Religion under Dewey decimal. Maybe 213 creation, 215 Science & religion, or 239 Apologetics & polemics.

I would simply point to the flaws in their methodology that you have mentioned and refer to that as "junk science". If it does not follow the scientific method, it is not science and the phrase "junk science" is actually being kind. I try not to be mean about the beliefs of others so long as they're not behaving badly because of those beliefs or forcing them on others, but I will not acknowledge something that is clearly not following the scientific method as actual science. And no, I'm not an atheist. I am, however, educated.

Just put it in the truth section.

We can't call it "science fiction", because it's an insult to science fiction. We'll have to come up with some new label ideas. Here's my suggestions: Breathtaking Inanity (thank you Judge John E. Jones III) Laughably Awful Fiction (LaFi) Bullsh!t Short list, but I think they sum it up quite well. @Miss Dementia: It must be nice, living in fantasy land with unicorns, wizards, and creationists who keep their nonsensical bible-babble to themselves and don't try to use the wedge strategy to force it into public schools. Whereas those of us who live in reality have to deal with crap like this: http://www.nature.com/news/tennessee-monkey-bill-becomes-law-1.10423

Creation science is an oxymoron. The debate between creation and evolution is over. Ask any scientist, including Catholic and Islamic doctors, and they will tell you creationism is a myth. It is a fairy tale that is NOT up for discussion. -So the answer is simple. The book of Genesis belongs right next to Asops fables and The Lord of the Rings in a library with all the other fictional tales..

Answer by Believer
(Macro) Evolution does not use the scientific method (observable, testable, repeatable) either......therefore it is NOT science......it is PURE SPECULATION........by FAITH......wait a minute, isn't that the definition of RELIGION? EVOLUTION = RELIGION

Answer by Dopey
1.) It's not science because they don't use the scientific method - NOBODY uses the scientific method anymore. Most research grants are given to researchers that fit their data to their hypothesis because their success depends on how often their hypotheses are right. Look up "Big Science". 2.) They start with the Bible and look for evidence to support it - Apologetics by definition. EDIT: Kudos to Acid Zebra for remembering the Dewey Decimal System.

Answer by Ol' Thang
Speculative fiction, to be polite...100% pure bull-sh*t, if I'm gonna be myself.

Despite the rapid thaw of the Greenland Ice Sheet, scientists are still far from even being able to predict its disappearance. Recent research conducted by an international team of scientists provided evidence that this is not the first time in modern ... Greenland's Rapid Ice Sheet Recession Difficult To Predict

When it comes time to write your science fair report, keep in mind that your report might be read not only by your science teacher, but also by the judges, depending on how your school's fair is set up. Therefore, you will want to be sure that your science report has complete and accurate information that will answer any questions that the judges have.

There are about 8 sections that you should include in your science fair report in order to make the report complete and easy to understand. Here's an overview of those sections and of what information you should include in those sections

Abstract - The abstract section of the science report is a one or two paragraph section in which you will explain what the science project is about. Be brief - this is just an introduction to your report. Introduction - The introduction to the science report is the actual beginning of the report. While the abstract summarizes the entire report, the introduction states why you performed the science project (what your goals were) and what people can expect to learn from the science project. Experiments - The experiments section is a step-by-step explanation of the specific experiments that you performed for your science project. This is the section in which you provide details into what you did during your experiment. You can also include graphics, such as charts and photos, that help to show how you performed the experiment and measured results. Data - In the data section of your report, you will include information that you learned during the experiment. While you may include charts and graphs in the experiments section of the report, those charts and graphs should actually be completed in the data section of the report. If you have so much data that it is difficult to include all of it in just a few pages, then it is okay to add an appendix to your science project report in which you include more data than in the data section. Discussion - Every science fair project can be improved. In the Discussion section of your report, include information about what you would have done differently and how the experiment can be improved. You can also provide tips for other students that may wish to perform similar science projects. Conclusion - The conclusion of your science report is the section in which you provide a summary an analysis of your results. This section should tie together the introduction with the experiment and the data in order to provide a clear picture of your entire experiment. Acknowledgments - Don't forget to thank those individuals that helped you during your science experiment, such as your teachers and your parents! References - The reference section is where you can include any resources that you used during your research and experiment. These resources may be books or news articles, or they could be teachers or doctors. Be sure to include information about how to reach those individuals that helped you with your research or your experiment.

Writing a science report does take some time, so be sure that you don't save it for the last minute. Take time to really think about your experiment and your results in order to write a thoughtful discussion and conclusion as well. Most of all - have fun writing the science report!
