Scientific method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Creation
The scientific method is the analysis used by scientists in asserting the truth of a given hypothesis. The wiki article does a good job of explaining it. I've also linked to the wiki article on the controversy between evolution and creationism.
We can debate the validity of creationism and evolution all day, but it all comes down to this: which one is based on the scientific method? And which one is based on faith and dogma?
Does creationism in any manner follow the scientific method? The very fact of it's metaphysical nature suggests to me that it cannot possibly follow it, therefore, there's no way it can be considered science. At best, it can be considered metaphysical a priori, but even this is real sketchy.
So, the point of this thread: creationists, explain exactly how, in detail, that creationism follows the scientific method.
