According to the consensus among those scientists who have studied the question, what is the scientific status of creationism today?
A) Although there is a lot of evidence against it, creationism is plausible on the basis of the principles of many scientific fields.
B) Although it disagrees with the principles of many scientific fields, there is a lot of real scientific evidence for creationism.
C) It disagrees with the principles of many scientific fields, and there is a lot of scientific evidence against it.
D) Creationism is plausible on the basis of the principles of many scientific fields, and here is also real scientific evidence for it, which is why most scientists believe that creationism has real validity.
E) Although creationism is plausible on the basis of the principles of many scientific fields, and although there is also real scientific evidence for it, most scientists still will not accept creationism because it seems too unconventional or "kooky."

Imagine that we put a raisin cake into the oven, with each raisin separated from the others by 1 cm. An hour later, we take it out and the distances between raisins are 3 cm
If you lived in one of the raisins and watched the other raisins as the cake expanded, which of the following would you conclude? A) More distant raisins would be moving away from you more slowly. B) All raisins would be moving away from you at the same speed. C) More distant raisins would be moving away from you faster. D) It depends: If you lived in a raisin near the left side of the cake, you'd see other raisins moving away from you, but they'd be coming toward you if you lived in a raisin near the right side of the cake.
