Scientific Knowledge: Discovery of Nature or Mental Construction?

This work defends the constructivist view of science, namely, the view that scientific theories are mental constructions in the mind of the scientist, rather than the realist view that scientific theories are accounts of what nature itself is like. To prove this point, evolution theory is contrasted with creation science as two paradigms or extremely divergent theories, each of which as a mental construct explains the data of facts of the natural world equally well.
