Why do scientists say that the creation story is made up?

Many scientists start with the a priori assumption that anything that mentions the supernatural must be untrue. Carl Sagan once said, "The Cosmos is all that is was or ever will be."

There is no empirical evidence to support the belief that matter and energy are the only possible entities and that everything occurs due to natural causes. The 1997 and 1998 supernova experiments provide evidence that matter and energy are not eternal.

According to string theory, matter consists of mathematical standing wave vibrations, which aligns with biblical claims that God spoke the universe into existence through vibrations.

A sincere scientist could not provide you with a response other than "it IS made up" because the creation story as presented in the bible contradicts EVERY major scientific finding in fields like biology, geology, and paleontology, to mention a few. It also contradicts recorded human history.

Scientists often view creation stories as mythological or allegorical rather than literal historical accounts because they lack empirical evidence and do not align with scientific understanding of the origins of the universe, Earth, and life. These stories typically contain supernatural elements and explanations that are not supported by scientific evidence or methods.
