Creation Science relies on allegedly anomalous finds in the archaeological record to challenge scientific chronologies and models of human evolution.

Unlike the scientific method which relies on peer reviewed experiments which attempt to prove or disprove a falsifiable hypothesis, exploratory engineering relies on peer review, simulation and other methods employed by scientists, but applies them to some hypothetical artifact, a specific and detailed hypothesized design or process, rather than to an abstract model or theory.

Occasionally, in addition or opposition to employing the scientific method, it also relies on symbolic interpretation and critical analysis, although these traditions have tended to be less pronounced than in other social sciences, such as sociology.

" Content analysis is a summarising, quantitative analysis of messages that relies on the scientific method ( including attention to objectivity, intersubjectivity, a priori design, reliability, validity, generalisability, replicability, and hypothesis testing ) and is not limited as to the types of variables that may be measured or the context in which the messages are created or presented.
