The Nature of Science and of Theories on Origins

"...[N]either creation nor evolution is a scientific theory. Creation and evolution are inferences based on circumstantial evidence...

[T]he notion that evolution is a scientific theory while creation is nothing more than religious mysticism is blatantly false. This is being recognized more and more today, even by evolutionists themselves...

Creation and evolution are…theoretical inferences about history. Even though neither qualifies as a scientific theory, each possesses scientific character, since each attempts to correlate and explain scientific data…Since neither is a scientific theory and each seeks to explain the same scientific data related to origins, it is not only incorrect but arrogant and self-serving for evolutionists to declare that evolution is science while creation is mere religion. Creation is in every sense as scientific as evolution…” Full text: The Nature of Science and of Theories on Origins by Duane Gish, Ph.D.

Response to comment [from a Catholic]:  "Dwayne Gish? Oh, my."

Ad hominem.

Response to comment [from other]:  [Speciation] "The appearance of new species?"

"All we have ever observed is what evolutionists themselves call “subspeciation” (variation within kind), never “transspeciation” (change from one kind to others)...[emphasis mine]" Full text: “Species” and “kind”by Dr. Gary Parker Ge 7:14

Response to comment [from a "Christian"]:  "Genesis 1 is not intended as history."

No, no. God was not interested in telling us: what he did, who we are, and why we are here. We were all supposed to go to you for that (1 Jn 4:3).

Response to comment [from a "Christian"]:  "Pterosaurs...distantly related to crocodiles." Link

It's fun to make things up as we go along.

Does somebody help you cross the street? I'm concerned for you (Ge 7:14).
