Falsifying creation?
That would be based on which creation model. There are three
1. Young Earth Creationism
2. Old Earth Creationism, with no evolution
3. Evolutionary creationism, or theistic evolution.
YEC has been IMO completely falsified. There is not scientific evidence in its favor and HUGE evidence against it. For example, the fossil record absolutely proves that life did not appear all at once within the last 10,000 years, but arose gradually over time.
OECWNE at least respects the scientific evidence of an old earth. It can be falsefied only by showing that life on earth could not have arisen by any other method but evolution. While I beleive that there is strong evidence for evolution, Idont think that scientists can show that the Good Lord could not have just created these different species over time. All you could do is argue that it is strange that He would have done so in a pattern so suggestive of evolution!
EC/TE could be falsifield only if the ToE was disproven. HTH...
