Falsifying Creation

Let me try to make this crystal clear to you, since others have tried and failed. If purely natural processes are shown to be enough to account for everything, the creation account would NOT fall. Showing natural processes to have possibly created everything there is would NOT prove that they did so - only that they COULD do so. I can easily demonstrate that the train service in the area in which I live can easily account for my getting to work in a half an hour or so every morning. However, this does NOT prove that this is how I do it. Actually, I drive my car. In the same way, whether natural process can account for all that there is is irrelevant to creationism. Creationism, by its nature, is not falsifiable. It is not, therefore, science.

A very familiar cop-out. Creationists often cite the bible as scientific 'evidence' for something: it is only when their arguments are demolished that they fall back on "Anyway, the bible wasn't meant to be a science text." If they remotely intellectually honest, after saying such a thing, they would never again bring up anything in the bible in an attempt to demonstrate something scientific. Invariably, they do anyway.

No, it does not. Creationism's only support is the bible. So-called creation 'science' does not exist. It is merely creationism masking itself as a science in an attempt to gain some respectability outside fundamentalist circles. There is no such thing as creation 'science'.
