'''Origin science''' studies past [[singularity|''singularities'']] rather than present ''normalities''. It focuses on things that only happened once and, by their nature, are unlikely to happen again. It is more like a forensic science rather than being an empirical science and due to impossibility to repeat past events, it uses analogies between the kinds of [[Cause and effect|cause-effect relationships]] that we see today. Origin science claims to give only ''plausible'' answers rather than ''definitive'' ones. It tries to study the remaining evidence of past events and measure interpretations by their ''explanatory power''.<ref>{{Cite book
