providing a link isnt debating. you didnt even address his statements yet. also the site was a bit dated, info from 1983.

If creation 'science' is scientific, please provide testable hypothese, positive evidence, and potential falsifications.
So far, this hasn't been done, despite numerous requests.
--yes and evolution has failed to provide a beginning for itself.
If it's real science, then it should be easy to find lots of this sort of thing on the major Creationist websites such as AiG and ICR.
--maybe they dont feel like putting up weak theories and wait until they can get a good amount of evidence.
Science never makes a claim to absolute truth.
--it does offer a very good explanation but even that explanation is weak at best.
Creation 'science' is based upon the Bible, and spends much of it's time attempting to refute another theory instead of developing it's own.
--that is a function of science. we are in search of the truth after all.

its very possible but i doubt anyone is going to claim that and then still claim to have rational thought or even sanity.

I think this is a good point. Creationists have a tough mountain to climb. First, they have to deal with the claim that they are not performing science. Then they have to deal with the claim that religion cannot be taught in school. THEN they have to deal with the evidence.
---the evolutionists dodge the question with more questions and accuse us of the same thing and wont admit that they do the same.

Not at all. The fact that we can't observe long-term evolution doesn't mean that we can't falsify it.
--absolutely correct
If the earth is very young, that would go a long way toward falsifying it, because evolution requires a long time scale.
--not necessarily evolution would just have had less of an impact on life or it occurs much more frequently.
And if the fossil record contradicted the predictions made by evolutionary theory, that would also be a falsification.
--fossil records only show that an animal died not that its structure was altered. it only shows stages not links between them.

Evolution, like all scientific theories, is falsable. However, there are a great many theories that have such a large body of supporting evidence, that it becomes unlikly (not impossible) to falsify. Evolution, like gravity, is well supported theory. You will see it modified to reflect new observations. The fact that they need to be modified means that the original theories were far from complete, but the fundamental principles are there and well supported.
AS for the old age of earth, you additionly need to discredit theories in geology, phyisics, and astronomy, which all have large bodies of evidence. It is these scientific disciplines that establish an old earth and an old universe.

i think the bulk of evolution is assumptions and theyre a few number of facts and evidence but not enough to prove it undeniably, at least to the extent of gravity.

ill say it again, do those fossils evolve before your eyes? no they dont. they just show that different animals died and looked like one progressed to the next. you can make the assumption that evolution is what occured and thats probably true but there isnt any actual proof of it.
