(1) Paul an Apostle writes,
New laws are not really new laws but already existing laws the scientists discover.
To say that new laws are not really new laws but already existing laws the scientists discover is like saying that a cartographer does not create a map, but merely discovers a pre-existing map. I fear you confuse the map with the terrain, Paul. The terrain pre-exists the map, but the map does not pre-exist the cartographers creation of the map. In science, reality pre-exists the theorem, but the theorem does not pre-exist the scientists creation of the theorem.
Unless, you are Plato.
If you are Plato, then you get very confused thinking about such things as this, and in your confusion, you come up with the idea that the map somehow pre-exists the cartographers creation of the map. Thats what Plato did when he came up with his notion of pre-existing ideals (or, forms, templates.) However, professional philosophers have shown Platos idealism to be what it is, and have consequently discredited it. Surely, you are not trying to revive it!
(2) Can you think of any contribution that creationist scientists have managed to make to science? I myself can think of none.
