I think this is the most common misunderstanding by evolutionists.
The belief of creation is not provable, it's a faith. The idea is that all science fits with the Biblical account of creation without compromising the clear teachings of the Bible.
Now if we apply your laws to the theory of evolution we will find that evolution is not a science either.
Non of the evolution theorys could stand up to any of these. (keep in mind microevolution is testible and is part of creation)

Here's some important quotes:
2. 'In fact, evolution became in a sense a scientific religion;
almost all scientists have accepted it and many are prepared
to 'bend' their observations to fit in with it.'
H.S. Lipson, FRS (Professor of Physics, University of Manchester,
UK), 'A physicist looks at evolution'. Physics Bulletin, vol. 31,
1980, p.138
3. 'The fact of evolution is the backbone of biology, and biology is
thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on an
unproved theory - is it then a science or a faith? Belief in the
theory of evolution is thus exactly parallel to belief in special
creation - both are concepts which believers know to be true but
neither, up to the present, has been capable of proof.'
(L. Harrison Matthews, FRS, Introduction to Darwin's The Origin of
Species, J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd, London, 1971, p.xi.
4. 'One must conclude that, contrary to the established and current
wisdom a scenario describing the genesis of life on earth by chance
and natural causes which can be accepted on the basis of fact and not
faith has not yet been written.'
(Hubert P. Yockey [Army Pulse Radiation Facility, Aberdeen Proving
Ground, Maryland, USA], 'A calculation of the probability of
spontaneous biogenesis by information theory'. Journal of Theoretical
Biology, vol.67, 1977, p.396
