I should have included the stipulation from the start that no creationist has provided any science in support of creationism -

Oh, and now that you know the real challenge, you can hop to it.
Hop to what? I agree with you. There is no science that supports creationism; since God didn't use science to create the universe.

I've only been saying that here for six years.

Of course not; creationism isn't science.

Edison went through 10,000 failed experiments. But he learned a lot along the way.

That however does not mean that any of them used creationism in their science
In order to be a Creationist they had to reconcile their Science with their faith. This takes extra effort. Something Darwin was just to lazy to do. Any Science that can not be reconciled with TRUE Creationism is going to fail, it is just a matter of time. You really can not have one without the other. Creationism fails without science and science fails without creationism.

I'm unaware of any creationist who claims Yahweh/Allah/whatever used science to create the universe (actually, no coherent mechanism has ever been put forward). At no point have I operated under that assumption. It's not pertinent.

What is pertinent is that every creationist I've ever encountered claims that science can be used to derive facts about 'creation', and that known science supports the 'creation account'.

Until now, apparently.

Now you know why I'm sometimes called 'backwater', or any of its various synonyms.

And for the record, maybe you need to get out more; our asst. pastor preached a message a couple of months ago and mentioned in his sermon that creationism has nothing to do with science.

Science is not a hermenuetic for the bible. God created through a series of miracles, and miracles cannot be measured, tested, or recreated (pun intended) by science.

So you agree with AV and AV's preacher that creationism is scientific nonsense. Yay.

You are of course aware that Darwin lost his faith largely as a result of the death of his daughter - he never saw much of a problem with evolutionary theory. But why not insult the man - he's been dead too long to protest.

Science does perfectly well without creationism. Indeed, it'd be shackled if its discoveries had to match your pre-determined ideas of what it should find. Absolute anathema to real science.

No, this is theistic evolution. Creationism is about rejecting science for faith.

This takes extra effort.
It takes cognitive dissonance..


Something Darwin was just to lazy to do.
Something Darwin was too intellectually honest to do. Just look at your own O.P. and you can see that creationists are incapable of intellectual honesty when it comes to matters which conflict with their faith.


Any Science that can not be reconciled with TRUE Creationism is going to fail, it is just a matter of time.
Whatever is "TRUE Creationism?"

You really can not have one without the other. Creationism fails without science and science fails without creationism.

Science doesn't need creationism. We scientists like to stick with reality, thank you very much.

Amen, brother!

Genesis is just a series of one miracle after another.

You are familiar with the Lady Hope story, are you not?

I don't know if it is a true story or not, but if it is true, then Mr. Darwin is in Heaven right now; if it is not true, then Mr. Darwin is in Hell.

I prefer to believe the Lady Hope story for Mr. Darwin's sake.

I'm familiar with both the story and the fact that it's unlikely at best.

Even your mates at AiG don't buy it: Darwin’s Deathbed Conversion—a Legend? - Answers in Genesis

I do not second guess God. I do not pretend to know what judgement God makes. Not much point having a God if we can do it ourselves. God alone knows exactly on what basis Darwin found it impossible to continue to believe in him. Last I checked he was described as abounding in mercy.
