:I can see two problems with Creation Science - though I won't be the first to mention this. The first is that science must be objective to be called science. If your objective is to prove a idea which you already hold then, strictly speaking, it can't be science. The second problem is that one of the axioms of the scientific method is: "All hypotheses and theories are in principle subject to disproof". As self-identified "Creation Scientists" I assume that they are unable to suggest circumstances which would cause them to change their ideas - and consequently can't be scientists.--[[User:British_cons|British_cons]] [[User_talk:British_cons|(talk)]] 08:06, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

::I see the same problem with evolution and evolutionists. They like to say that it is in principle subject to disproof, but in practice this seems to not be the case. Sure, certain particular ideas about it are, but that same point applies to creation science. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 09:31, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
