Exactly. Finally, someone said it. Creationists never follow through on their assertions, even notwithstanding the beautifully apt lavatorial implications of that phrase.
The scientific method:
Step 1 - Observe some aspect of reality
Step 2 - Devise tentative hypothesis to account for it
Step 3 - Devise experiments to test hypothesis against observation as unambiguously as possible and in as varied situations as possible
Step 4 - Use experimental data to revise hypothesis
Step 5 - Repeat steps 3 and 4 until hypothesis accounts for and makes predictions about the observation
Step 6 - Publish paper and submit it for peer review
Step 7 - If you are lucky, whatever survives to this point gets to be called a theory
The creationist scientific method:
Step 1 - Observe some aspect of existing scientific theory and/or debate that looks ripe for rebranding under the Jesus banner
Step 2 - Devise scenario, however implausible, to account for it. Don't forget to include as many carefully mined quotes and bible/kerrang verses as you can. Remember you're doing this for Jesus.
Step 3 - Er...
Step 4 - That's about it
Step 5 - Declare victory

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
