Re: Response please
Forgive me if this point has already been brought up in this thread. I've skimmed through it, and might have missed somethings.
The main problem I see with your model is that it incorporates an intervening omnipotent supernatural creator. This creator created Earth ~6,000 years ago, created a world-wide flood somewhat later, resurrected someone dead 2,000 years ago, and performed quite a few more miracles. It would thus be fair to say that this creator is still active in the workings of this planet/universe.
For the simple fact that this creator can do anything, literally any evidence you could possibly find would be consistent a "bible" hypothesis. Wherever you look, you will find supporting evidence, since god can do anything. But in science, the strength of a theory does not only rest on its supporting evidence, the existence of the theory in the first place requires it to be falsifiable. If every single piece of evidence can be in accordance with a theory, it is hardly falsifiable. So, I ask, how is your model falsifiable?Moreover, how could it be falsified to the point of it being rejected?
