Is Creationism Science?
Between my English and Philosophy professors, they have summed up pretty nicely why creationism isn't real science.
My English prof said that she would fail anyone who would write about creo science for the final English paper (20-30 pages). Why? In order for something to be scientific, the person presenting the concept must be willing to accept that it could be wrong. However, your faith as a christian creationist prevents you from ever accepting the possibility of being wrong on this thing. Therefore, it can't be science.
My Philosophy prof told us, while we were learning informal logic, that he would fail anyone who dared to try to support the concept that creationism is science because it ain't science. Why? Because in order for something to be scientific it needs to be falsifiable. How the fuck can you falsify something that is supernatural?
The real question is why is this even an issue anymore? Any coherent 16 year old can understand the 2 simple reasons I gave above.
