在当代美国公共文化中，利益集团越来越多地动员社会建构主义的论点，以诋毁科学知识的菌株。根据Latour [2004.为什么《批判》已经失去了动力？从事实到关注。批判性探究，30：225-48]，科学研究领域通过揭示科学事实是社会中介的方式促成了这一趋势。在这篇文章中，我研究了如何在创造博物馆，一个年轻的地球创造论博物馆在北方肯塔基州，美国阐述了社会建设的叙事。我比较了科学的认识论在创造博物馆与阴谋论和社会建构主义科学研究。我研究如何，在创造博物馆，社会建构主义的批评是结合框架的圣经作为事实数据的来源。有人认为，科学研究，阴谋论和神创论在他们的科学的透明度和客观性的批评重叠。然而，它们在允许的递归程度方面存在分歧。
In contemporary American public culture, interest groups increasingly mobilise social constructionist arguments in order to discredit strains of scientific knowledge. According to Latour [2004. Why Has Critique Run out of Steam? From Matters of Fact to Matters of Concern. Critical Inquiry, 30:225–48], the field of science studies has contributed to this trend by exposing the ways that scientific facts are socially mediated. In this article, I examine how a narrative of social construction is articulated in the Creation Museum, a young earth creationist museum in Northern Kentucky, USA. I compare the epistemology of science in the Creation Museum with that of conspiracy theory and of social constructionist science studies. I examine how, in the Creation Museum, social constructionist critique is combined with a framing of the Bible as a source of factual data. It is argued that science studies, conspiracy theory and creationism overlap in their critiques of the transparency and objectivity of science. However, they diverge in terms of the degree of recursivity they allow.
