I don't think Science has anything to do with 90% of the question asked in World Building, simply because most of them ignore key aspect of science.

That said, I think the name should be "Speculative\Creative World Building" because it allures to the real thing we do, and keeps the speculation part, Science shouldn't be in the name, because it really has got nothing to do with it, and authors mostly tend to just crave a plausible explanation for something completely impossible (FTL, Teleportation, Alien Anatomy, etc.)
