Re: Creation is more of a science than Evolution

Evolution is scientific because it is testable and falsifiable, and has been tested and confirmed
In this one sentence from the website you have given is this statement. The people actually type the words out and in the same sentence completely get it wrong.Let us take them by the hand shall we?
"Evolution is scientific because it is testable and falsifiable,"
They nailed it on the head. We can make models that explain what we see in Nature and use the model to determine what things nature should reveal to us as we go along. In short it allows us to test the model and eliminate possible scenarios as the information becaomes available. As we press on we refine the model to fill in details that were not known before.
Now in the second half of the sentence we immediately recognize that they did not understand the implications of the first half.
"and has been tested and confirmed"
Before I go along do you see what the contradiction is here? Read what the first half actually says and then read what the second half actually says and you will see for yourself the contradiction.
