But my simple friend I'm showing you you don't get to make the rules as to what constitutes science, that is decided by laws in nature.
Scientists make the rules as to what is and isn't science. The rules are already in place, and they require a hypothesis to be both testable and falsifiable.
And all the creationists in the world, and all the gibberish they come up with, won't change that.
We have seen many examples where creationists try to change long-standing definitions--because they are inconvenient to creationists' claims.
We have seen many examples where creationists try to change how science is done--because science contradicts creationists' claims.
But since the Enlightenment, that's getting harder and harder for them to do, especially in the West. We no longer have to kowtow to established religions and their dogma.
This has led creationists to try to (falsely) co-opt science through whatever means possible. This thread is but one example.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A. Heinlein
In the name of diversity, college student demands to be kept in ignorance of the culture that made diversity a value--StultisTheFool
It's not what we don't know that hurts, it's what we know that ain't so--Will Rogers
If I am entitled to something, someone else is obliged to pay--Jerry Pournelle
If a religion's teachings are true, then it should have nothing to fear from science...--dwise1
"Multiculturalism" demands that the US be tolerant of everything except its own past, culture, traditions, and identity.

You don't use them in a scientific manner. If you want to claim that ID/creatoinism is scientific, then you need to use the evidence as part of a testable and falsifiable hypothesis.
Now that we have established per my question about human design that purpose is clearly different than function, is be justified and reasonable concluding that the intricate design at least indirectly supports Creation, correct?
Not correct. You have not produced a testable and falsifiable hypothesis. All you have is the claim that intricate design is produced by a deity. You have nothing but that claim.
Just because humans can create intricate design does not mean all intricate designs are created by an intelligence. I would think that would be obvious.

Re: Show Me The Evidence
You would not have any principles or terms unless there were Already existing laws for you to defin
There are other ways to establish truth besides limited human concepts defined in your so called science
I've already demonstrated this to many times
Of I don't use the same type of evidence, would you say you use direct or indirect evidence to establish that things are a result of Soley Nature Causes

Precisely. They try to disparage science as being myopic or wrong, but then try to claim that ID/creationism is science in order to make it appear more legitimate. Never do you see them claiming that ID/creationism is more legitimate because it is a religious belief instead of a scientific theory. In fact, they try to delegitimize the theory of evolution by claiming it is a religious belief, of all things. I think that is perhaps the most telling strategy of them all.

Re: Show Me The Evidence

I doubt that very much. Just to check, can you show me the evidence you're using?
Do you deny your evidence of an unobserved event or cause is one of indirect evidence
Of course I do not deny this.
No, what You mean by evidence is something different
Please do not lie to me about what I mean.
am I justified and reasonable concluding that the intricate design at least indirectly supports Creation, correct?
Where is your evidence for intricate design in nature?
Show me the evidence.

That is completely false. The scientific method didn't exist before, and now it does. We were able to construct the scientific method without those principles or terms already existing.
There are other ways to establish truth besides limited human concepts defined in your so called science
Then why try to claim that ID/creationism is science if it is so limiting?

Re: Falsification
Remarkably falsifiabiltyis not necessary where absolutes exist...
Where something is accepted as an axiomatic truth, falsifiability is not an issue. Thus, in mathematics -- for instance -- we deal with various geometric axioms that most U.S. kids learn in high school. These axioms, of course, do not always apply to the whole of mathematics ("The interior sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees" is not utterly true as stated). But falsification isn't much a part of mathematics; instead, faulty theorems are eliminated by beautiful proofs which combine axioms and postulates in a striking, novel arrangement.
But mathematics isn't science.
Thermodynamics is a term. You did not invent natural processes you discovered and named them...
Right. Because that process of active discovery is, in part, science.
The term metaphysics doesn't exist you made it up.
See below image. Apparently, I've convinced a lot of academic websites to use a term I conjured. A.k.a., you're wrong.
Screen Shot 2016 05 04 at 6 32 58 PM
Saying science is what science is a social construc is like saying you designed the law of nature. No son you discovered these rules the built principles around them
Well, first of all, I'm not your son and you don't even know my gender. Secondly, it is the act of discovering natural phenomena and building laws and theories to connect observations in a causal fashion that is known as science. So science is socially constructed by humans, inasmuch as mathematics and philosophy and logic are social constructs.
Science didn't exist prior to the emergence of Homo sapiens.
If I'm trying to redefine what science is or is not, then by all means show me how you yourself formed the laws in nature
Science is a systematic approach to studying and explaining natural phenomena. You're attempting to re-define it, which is intellectually ignorant or dishonest. "Laws of nature" isn't science, since science requires the active use of cognitive faculties by humans. These "laws of nature" may be explained and causally linked to other phenomena by scientific theories, but they are not science, because science is a method of investigating the natural world.

That is not what I am implying. The scientific method is used to derive theories and models, not observations. You are claiming that ID/creationism is a scientific theory. In order to be a scientific theory, ID/creationism needs to meet the criteria for being a scientific theory as defined by the rules that we have made for what is and isn't a scientific theory. Remember what you wrote in the opening post?
"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"
You already stated that you will be using scientific evidence. That means your evidence needs to be empirical.
You already stated that you will be adhering to the rules of what constitutes a scientific investigation. That investigation requires the construction of testable and falsifiable hypotheses.
If you can't meet these requirements, then now is the time to admit it.

I was using your non-scientific method to show that rainbows are created by invisible unicorns. Thanks for confirming that your non-scientific method is nonsensical.

Re: Show Me The Evidence
Yes the same indirect evidence you use to establish unobserved events
In this case Intricate detailed design and purpose. It's not necessary to see this happening to know it's design
Why is it that the degree of Indirectneas in Evidence only worka in your favor. Since you have no Direct evidence things are a result of Soley Natural Causes should I reject evolution in favor of creation?
In an earlier post you intimated that Function and purpose were the same thing. That's why I applauded you for your finally admitting a difference
Do you have any direct evidence for your conclusions of Soleynatural caused being a conclusion oOF evolution
Show me your evidence

No, it isn't the same evidence. The theory of evolution predicts that phylogenies based on morphology should match phylogenies based on DNA sequences. That is what evidences evolution.
How does this evidence ID/creationism?
