Origin science studies past 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-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.[1]
