Scientists notice that they are unable to either observe events
before the "big bang" or to project currently held notions of
physical law beyond that event.  They therefore hold that science
cannot (at the present time) make any statement about what came
before, or why it happened.

Creationists hold that events that occured before and during
the appearance of life on this earth are forever beyond the reach
of science.  They hold that the mechanism of that appearance
is beyond the understanding of man.

the first view is science, the other is destructive of science.
