A religion can be defined as a worldview. And a world view is any ideology, philosophy, theology, movement that provides an understanding of the world, God, mans understanding of the world etc.
And the evidence that supports evolution can be repeated regardless of worldview. Unfornately for you, the evidence that falsifies creationism can also be repeated regardless of worldview. This is the problem that young earth creationists face, the existence of falsifying data. It is only the religious nature of creationism that keeps the whole movement going, not the evidence.
quote:
Why has modern day scientific communities ruled out creation? The truth is what many of you have already said. Science cannot observe or measure the supernatural and therefore is incapable of obtaining any knowledge about it. But by this definition science cannot render judgement on the theory of evolution either. One time only historical events that seem impossible in the present fall outside the parameters of scientific methods then they cannot be observed, tested, or falsified.
Let's end this nonsense now. Yes, the past can not be repeated, but the evidence it leaves behind can be. EVIDENCE, not first hand observation, is what supports evolution, forensics, astronomy, geology, and a myriad of other scientific fields. All of these field have theories that MAKE PREDICTIONS ABOUT FUTURE FINDS. Evolution, for instance, states that the differences in DNA for two species is in direct relationship to the span of time since they shared a common ancestor (as seen in the fossil record). Every time two species are compared with the fossil record, this prediction is tested. Guess what, the prediction is fulfilled. Evolution makes predictions about what we will find IN THE FUTURE. You have yet to tackle this part of science. Ask yourself this, what does creationism predict about the sorting of fossils seen in the geologic column? Frankly, it doesn't, and tries to give people the impression that no such sorting exists. Creationism looks to keep a religious idea going without caring if it's wrong or right while science looks to explain the natural world around us to the best of our human ability. I think we can understand which is a religion and which is not.
