Re: RR disagrees with ICR, AiG etc
Any data can be part of science
really?
I had no clue that the fact that the US revolution started in 1775 was a part of science. Or the two russian revolutions of 1917. Or the french revolution of 1789.
or, that WWII started in dec, '41 for the US.
or, that we built the A-bomb before anyone else (granted, this is a history of science bit).
I hope you get the picture here.

Re: RR disagrees with ICR, AiG etc
If they do not use the scientific method, then their conclusions aren't just wrong. Their conclusions are not science.
I think science is a little bit more than just the scientific method. Take a look at the scientific revolution that occurred in the 1600s. You have two competing methods--a strictly empirical, and deductive (favored by Britain); the other (favored by France) was more inductive, and less stringent on empirical grounding.
The result? A method that is grounded in empirical observations and tends to be inductive.
by deductive, you need to see every case to make a statement
inductive, is, because 4 birds are black, all are black.
(just in case I screwed up the meanings of the two up above, and yes, these are very simple definitions.)
If anything, science is methodological naturalism. In other words, mums the word about the supernatural, and the natural world is the focus. As soon as you start positing the supernatural as an explanation, it isn't science. However, that does not mean that science says the supernatural does not exist (for those of you who love to confuse ontological and methodological naturalism). To me, that's what science is, at the heart (brain?).

Re: RR disagrees with ICR, AiG etc
i'm being nit-picky here. there's a difference between the method, and methodological.
all methodological requires is being methodical in your search for answers.
the method just so happens to be the one we use (to be methodical), formed over a century or more in the scientific revolution.
yeah, fine lines. it's where I tend to live.
