rather it will use the current secular principles and rules to show that act of creation can and should be considered science.
How would that work? When each of your creation mechanisms are summarized fully by "God said," it is a bit tough to replicate those results in a Petri dish. Science deals with experimentation and replication of results pretty much of everywhere it goes - even in palaeontology. Dig up an Ichthyostega, and go back to Greenland the next summer to dig for more, and then go to Nunavut and look for Tiktallik in slightly newer rock.
No matter how many times you read Genesis in your preferred translation, the same words are there. That's repitition, not replication.

Re: "Observations"
in order to ensure you get to justify your unbelief and sibnful lifestyle and remain 'superior' to christians and creationists.
Can you give me any details of my "sinful lifestyle," archaeologist? How do you know whether or not I eat Christian infants for breakfast?
Prediction: we will get the "I'll pray for you hellbound infidels" post from Archie within the next four days.
