Then show its certification.

I can show why I believe what I believe.

Can you do the same?

I see. You dont understand the meaning of the word "myth". If you look it up you will see that genesis meets the criteria therin. Belief, truth, whatever has nothing to do with it. Myth is a word, words have meaning. Not complicated.

Because that's what it is. It fits the literary criteria for one.

Steve Petersen · May 7, 2016

"Mythology is the study of whatever religious or heroic legends are so foreign to a student's experience that he cannot believe them to be true. . . . Myth has two main functions. The first is to answer the sort of awkward questions that children ask, such as: 'Who made the world? How will it end? Who was the first man? Where do souls go after death?'. . . . The second function of myth is to justify an existing social system and account for traditional rites and customs."

--Robert Graves, "Introduction," New Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology (v)

Simple question:

Is creationism a scientifically certified myth?

And I said "myth" ... not lie ... not legend ... not story ... not [whatever] ... myth.

Here's an example for emphasis:

Scientist One: He had to study creationism and other legends.
Scientist Two: Creationism isn't a legend, it's a myth.
Scientist One: Whatever.
Scientist Two: No, not "whatever" ... myth.

So a simple YES or NO.

Is creationism a scientifically certified myth?

(And if you have to ask for clarification, I'm going to assume NO, since the clarification would come with the certification.)

Since when did you care what science says about Genesis?

Don't fret, you can still believe Genesis as literal AV.

Just what does science say about Genesis?

And can you reply with scientific method accuracy?

I dont think science bothers too much with genesis av.

Tachyons are hypothetical particles, which may turn out to exist, or not to exist. More likely the latter.

I am. You asked if the Genesis myth is scientifically certified. It can not be scientifically certified since science does not concern itself with myths.
The Genesis story does fit the literary criteria for a myth however.

With Genesis or myths?

If Genesis isn't scientifically certified as a myth, then I take it those who say it is are speaking sine scientia?

Science doesnt certify myths av.

So Genesis is a myth, but tachyons are hypothetical particles.

Got it.

Par for the course.

AV,

You are free to use science, to demonstrate genesis is not a myth.

No, I didn't.

I asked if creationism is a scientifically certified myth.

And it's taking you guys a long time to say NO.

I said 'no' on the very first page.

Is that a "NO"?

(It hurts to say that, doesn't it?)

Hurts to say what?

Science doesnt certify myths.

How about if I investigate before I communicate first?

You know, ask questions?

Isn't there a name for that in scientific parlance?
