schrafinator thinks that just because Creationists conduct science under a different framework, it is not science. And can Creation be falsified? Yes. Just demonstrate that purely natural processes are all that are required. (Do you really think life is just a result of chemical reactions?)

Correct me if I'm wrong, JP, but don't you claim that creationism is merely interpreting scientific findings in light of Genesis? In what way does this constitute an 'unbiased observation'?

John Paul:
It's as 'unbiased' as interpretting scientific findings in light of materialistic naturalism.

C'mon JP, you're making a god out of naturalism... naturalism tries to find the underlying forces involved in driving processes, it doesn't care what it finds. You're starting with Genesis, that's why you're biased and naturalism isn't.
