Line 24: − − ==Scientific Failings of Creationism Myths== − − As arguments for Creationism depend solely on faith and not on scientific fact, it is, by definition, impossible to prove any aspect of the Creationist superstitions. Creationism fails all of the following scientific tests<ref>http://atheism.about.com/od/creationismcreationists/p/scientific.htm</ref>: − − :Consistent (internally & externally) − − :Parsimonious (sparing in proposed entities or explanations) − − :Useful (describes & explains observed phenomena) − − :Empirically Testable & Falsifiable − − :Based upon Controlled, Repeated Experiments − − :Correctable & Dynamic (changes are made as new data is discovered) − − :Progressive (achieves all that previous theories have & more) − − :Tentative (admits it might not be correct rather than asserting certainty) − − For this reason, Creationism is more closely fits the definition of a myth<ref>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/myth</ref>, as it does not conform to the Scientific Method<ref>http://teacher.pas.rochester.edu/phy_labs/AppendixE/AppendixE.html</ref>.
