Why did Young Earth Creationism and creation science/intelligent design evolve in American theology?
It didn't, it's simply the logical conclusion of Christianity, which states that everyone and everything should pander to Christians, even reality itself, and that if it doesn't, they're going to throw hissy fits, yell, lie, scream and swindle until they get what they want

Christianity wasn't an arm of the state as in Europe, allowing heresy to flourish.
Because American Christianity is mostly Protestant. In Europe Catholics managed to reconcile Science and Theology or rather just them keep separate. European Protestants close by just followed the example.
Those in the US developed separately.

It didn't, it was the dominant paradigm in the West for a long time. America just clung to it the longest

Origen was a young earth creationist though, as were all the Christians before the 19th century.

using words by their correct meaning is important no matter which point you make

Creation science is a word phrase which means something despite its meaning having no relationship with its latter part.

It was in European protestant countries that science and evolution most developed.

They took the same passages literally that modern creationists do.

>"creationist" doesn't necessarily mean "evolution denier"
and where did I post something even remotely like that?

I was just point it out It was an addition to what you said, not against it.
