Andrew Cummins discussing "Creationism"
with Richard Meic...
RM>> 1) Creationism is often claimed to be a science. When no science is
RM>> actually done. (ie. observe, hypothesize, try to disprove through
RM>> experiment). Thus, creationism is not a science, a popular idea many
RM>> people like to think is truth, but is in no way substantiated by the
RM>> scientific method. NOTE: there is no way to actually prove or
RM>> disprove creationism (the idea that everything was created by a god),
RM>> and this makes all creationist arguments circular.
AC> Hmmm, I don't know of any Evolutionists who have attempted to disprove
AC> Evolution through experiment.
Which would be logical. They do however offer evidence for their theories
which is open to be tested.
AC> And, of course, any evidence to the
AC> contrary to Evolution dismissed with the creation of sub-theories
AC> to reconcile contradicting evidence.
Such as?
AC> NOTE: Creationists put forth a model
AC> that does make predictions and thus can be tested.
Then maybe you'd like to post the Creationist model that you speak of, AND
what it predicts, and allow us to make our own judgments?
RM>> 2) Creationism stems from a belief in "God". The key word here is
RM>> "belief", which makes creationism a religion and has no place being
RM>> argued as a science.
AC> Evolution stems from the belief that there is no God.
So it's nothing to do with the millions of fossils and bones then?
