Evidence against creation

[Brian37]

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

That sums up the differences right there.

Science works through testing and falsification and peer review.

Religion merely survives through mere marketing.
