The science in creationism involves the arguments for design as evidence for a designer and unexplainable by purely natural processes.
Except neither you or anyone else has ever presented the models, methods, process, procedures or thingamajigs that explain what is seen while the current theories using natural processes do.
And you have already admitted several times what you do is not and cannot be science.

reality does have a habit of winning.
Truth and reality do have a habit of winning it seems. Often fantasy is nice but science actually works and the old earth geology explains what is really seen and the Theory of Evolution explains what is really seen while Creationism and Young Earth never succeed in explaining anything that actually exists.

Not that that It looks designed, therefore it is, but one cannot ignore the axiomatic truth of Clear purpose, as a result of Intricate order
Of course you can and should unless and until someone actually presents some evidence of the existence of Clear purpose as a result of Intricate order and so far neither you or anyone else has even done that.

Stop lying Dawn
Dawn Bertot writes:
But remember Jar I don't need to do this in the manner your Scientific Method requires, because you don't require the same conclusion or demands for yourself, for the evidence for the Solely Natural Conclusion proposition of evolution and what it posits
Sorry Dawn but you are still simply lying again and again.
No one but you has asserted Solely Natural Conclusion and this has been explained to you several times by several people in this very thread.
And that is yet another reason there is no Science in Creationism; there seems to be no culture of honesty in Creationism.
But I'll repeat what folk other than Creationists actually say.
So far no causes have ever been observed or evidenced that were not natural causes; so there is no reason to expect any future causes found to be other than natural.
If you, on the other hand, could present evidence for a non-natural cause then there might be some reason to consider other than natural causes.
The topic, in case you forgot is "The Science in Creationism" and as usual you have failed totally to show any evidence of any science in creationism.

Re: Show Us The Evidence
Reminds me of an old Peggy Lee song.
And when I was 12 years old, my daddy took me to a circus.
"The Greatest Show On Earth."
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears.
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And as I sat there watching, I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don't know what, but when it was over,
I said to myself,
"Is that all there is to a circus?"
So I guess when it comes to "The Science in Creationism":
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends
Then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

No. It was a fact before there were any people to observe it, but not an axiom.
And purpose just like an axiom is a human construct. A blind man may still have eyes. A paraplegic still has legs and a Creationist still has fantasy.
But Dawn Bertot has still never shown any evidence of The Science in Creationism.

Re: My Own Tentative Summary
Faith writes:
Seems this thread is just endlessly demanding that Dawn come up with evidence for the evidence he's given dozens of times already: Design IS the evidence for a designer. Evidence FOR design is a ludicrous request but you'll never stop demanding it. All one can do is distinguish design from randomness in nature and that's been done on this thread already.
But Faith, Dawn has not shown evidence for design or that design implies a designer. I think the big problem as has been pointed out many times is that neither you nor Dawn nor Creationist including those claiming to be creation scientists really have a clue what evidence is or many other relatively common terms.
Order and design are two different things.
Purpose and function are two different things.
Those differences really do matter.
Order can and often must come about from simply natural causes. No designer needed.
Purpose is a purely human construct and exists solely in the mind and not in the object.
The purpose of the sun is not to produce light. In fact light itself is actually simply a waste product of the function of the very natural process that is the sun. No designer needed.
Light itself has no purpose. It does not exist to help us see shit. We, humans, put things to use. We give them the purpose. We use light to see and we can use screwdrivers to turn screws, but also to pry open paint cans and then turn the screw driver around to pound the lid back on the can when finished.
But the purpose is not a characteristic of the object, it is a construct of the human.
While sloppy thinking and imprecise use of terms is an underlying problem it seems, the real failure in this thread has once again been the total and utter inability of demonstrating The Science in Creationism. At best you and Dawn have shown that The Science in Creationism is not science and can never be science but perhaps something like voodoo or astrology or alchemy or fortune telling.

Summaries should not include material shown to be false.
Faith writes:
Aren't you begging the question when you insist that evolution can explain design without a designer because, well, the ToE says life developed from purely physical causes?
And once again, you continue to create straw man arguments and have the nerve to try to assert anyone but Creationists say such stupid things.
Why in this very thread that utter nonsense has been dealt with over and over and over again.
Is it necessary to add "lack of short term memory" to the list of things seemingly missing in you and Dawn and all other Creationists?
Do you keep repeating falsehoods because you forget you have been shown they are false or is there some other reason?
What everyone except Creationists say is that no causes other than natural causes have ever been evidenced and until a cause other than a natural cause has been shown to exist there is no reason to expect any future causes discovered to be other than natural.

Yes believe it or not, the above statement is as stupid as it sounds. A nice Convient way of saying he has no evidence for the conclusion of Evolusionism
Since he requires evidence of your conclusion by its process, he is naturally excluded because he has no evidence, because his scientific method has excluded that necessity.
Remember Jar it's not what you can imagine as obligatory, it what can be logically demonstrated. Your can't avoid your conclusion by imagining it away
But remember friends these fellas call themselves the "Brights"
Again Dawn, learn to actually read what is written.
No where did I even mention "evolutionism" whatever that is.
And it is also a fact that science always holds conclusions tentatively.
I did mention Creationism since I assumed you would be familiar with it as you had used it to title the thread.
You stated in the OP "It is my belief that with closer exaimination of these allegations and assertions coupled with the Actual scientic evidence that supports Creation Science, it will be demonstrated that CS very much passes a scientific investigation" yet so far you have failed to present any scientific evidence that supports Creation Science.
What I posted is instead fact and so far supported by your posts, Faiths posts and in fact all of the output of all of the so called Creation Scientists.
You never present any evidence for any cause other than a natural cause.
Should you actually present evidence for a cause other than a natural cause then science would happily look into the area of non-natural causes; but again, that never seems to happen. After all science has even investigated ghosts and claims of possession.
Like Creationism, no actual evidence of either ghosts or possession have ever been found.
There is evidence though of natural causes. In fact every cause that has been examined has turned out to be a natural cause.
Lightning has natural causes.
Thunder has natural causes.
When I clap and the light turns on it is a natural caused event.
What you promised to do and what you have utterly failed to do is to provide "the Actual scientic evidence that supports Creation Science".
But not just you. No Creationist has ever provided "the Actual scientic evidence that supports Creation Science" or even the actual scientific evidence that support Creation Science.
And that is why Creationism is dead, tossed into the trash pile of history, little more than an old worn out joke and not taken seriously for over 100 years.
That is why there is no reason to expect we will ever find a non-natural cause or a Creationist who can actually provide evidence of a non-natural cause.
Creationism as dead as astrology or numerology or fortune telling or phrenology or ouija boards. Maybe a fun parlor game for little kids at camp but not for anyone past using cootie catchers.
Nor do I call myself a "Bright". I am a Christian, a cradle Creedal Christian and an active practicing Christian who was educated in a Christian School.

Dawn Bertot writes:
Where is your logically set out argument and evidence for the conclusion of Solely Natural Causes, other than saying I just see that.
Is honesty really impossible for Creationists?
I have never said I had any conclusion of Solely Natural Causes and that has been pointed out to you numerous times by numerous people.
What I have said is that no one has ever presented any evidence of any non-natural cause.
You still have not presented evidence of a non-natural cause.
You have never presented any evidence of The Science in Creationism.

See, once again reality, truth and honesty are getting in your way. Regardless of your belief the fact is that I am a Christian, an active Christian, raised in a Christian family and educated in a Christian school.
The ball is still in your court Dawn.
Where is the evidence of The Science in Creationism?

Even in the US it seems to be a settled legal issue now, every time it pops up it's kicked down pretty easily.
And it is also always Christians (all of the major denominations) supporting the position that Creationism is NOT science and should not be taught in science classes in public schools.

Faith writes:
Poor deluded Christians.
But I too don't want creationism taught in the public schools, just not for the same reasons.
It is very likely that there are many deluded Christians, that has never been in doubt. But the topic is The Science in Creationism and the position of the majority of major Christian denominations is that there is no science in Creationism.
That is simply more evidence that there is no science in Creationism when not even Christians can be convinced Creationism is even pseudoscience.
This thread also supports the fact that there is no science in Creationism and explains why Creationism has been abandoned by all Science for over 100 years and can never be considered science or scientific.
Creationism like Flood Geology and Young Earth are simply dead and totally false belief systems.
The reason no one has ever presented any evidence of any science in Creationism is simple; there is no science in Creationism.

Re: And all the major Christian denominations say Creationism is not science.
Dawn regurgitates:
quote:
And this is why they are denominations in the first place, because not only have they left the truth taught in scripture, just like you Jar, but they have abandoned all reason
Remember these passages, I doubt you do, but the ones that say,
"Some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons"
And "God will send them strong delusion to believe a lie"
"God will gave them over to a reprobate mind"
"Where is the wise, where is the scribe, where is the debater of THIS WORLD. Hath not God made foolish the WISDOM of this world?
For after that in the Wisdom of God (Roman's 1:20), the world by its own wisdom, ("The Scientific Method), discarded God and it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching, to save them that are believing
"For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world are CLEARLY SEEN BEING UNDERSTOOD BY THE THINGS THAT ARE DESIGNED, SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE"
Yes Jar they have not only abandoned scripture but reason about God.
So no wonder they don't want it taught as science.
Dawn Bertot
And once again Dawn simply proves the point made so often in this thread that The Science in Creationism is not science but just religious dogma, and religious dogma from a minority of Christendom at that and is supported not by any evidence including scripture but only by taking scripture out of context; by quote mining and proof texts.
What is so sad is that even in a topic Dawn started he has been unable to provide any evidence of The Science in Creationism and constantly falls back on religious dogma instead of reality, honesty or evidence.
Creationism is dead and been dead for over 100 years, and all that remains is some zombie caricature whose only function is to whine and claim it is being treated unfairly and all others are blind.
Pitiful.

Again, how is it evidence for Creationism and you do understand that what it does do is totally refute any Biblical flood or Young Earth nonsense?
How is it evidence for Creationism?
If all animals were created at the same time, why are no human fossils or human constructed objects ever found in any of the layers containing dinosaur fossils?
What is the mechanism, model, process, procedure or thingamabob that explains what is seen in reality?
