Nick Douglas 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
 RM>> many
 RM>>    people like to think is truth, but is in no way  substantiated by
 RM>> the 
 RM>>    scientific method.  NOTE: there is no way to actually prove or 
 RM>>    disprove creationism (the idea that everything  was created by a
 RM>> god),
 RM>>    and this makes all creationist arguments circular.
 ND> Okay, how about evolution? I find no way to prove that it exests.
Who are you? What study have you done?
 ND> Granted there are many near-convincing results, but I doubt their
 ND> correctness.
On what basis?
 ND> I realize that you hold a healthy skepticism of my beliefs,
 ND> and I respect that. I'll discuss this privately some time. No one else
 ND> sounds inter- ested. Gotta go now!
I'm interested.
