Heeeeyyy, my creationists! Would you say that creationism is falsifiable? [Spirituality & Religion]

@Jake966

Well there's certainly better evidence for an old earth upon which life evolved but i'm asking is there any way in which creation could be proved wrong.
Is it a falsifiable position? Is there any hypothetical evidence which would show that creation did not take place?

@Pikachu no there isn’t

@Jake966

Agreed. In which case, creationists should stop pretending that theirs is a scientifically based position.

@Pikachu speaking for myself ; there is no other way earth came into existence and I don’t need science to prove it

@Jake966


Then you're position is one of faith. An argument from ignorance and incredulity.
If you don't see how it could happen without god, this is proof to you that god is responsible.
We both agree that this is not science. This is not a reliable, consistent way of knowing.

But many creationists want to borrow the legitimacy of science for their creation belief. This questions seeks to determine whether creationism deserves that scientific legitimacy

@Pikachu your faith in science is fundamentalist in nature. Nothing will ever shake your belief. pity.

@hippyjoe1955

My trust in science is result of the process. It has shown itself to be an accurate and reliable way of knowing.
Faith cannot offer the same assurances.
Simple as that.

@Pikachu not a fact to me , the Bible is fact to me

@Jake966

Sorry, didn't follow that. Can you rephrase?

@Pikachu science is not fact to me , the Bible is fact to me

@Jake966

Why isn't science fact to you? Do you distrust it in all areas or only when it comes to where it conflicts with your faith?

@Pikachu my faith has nothing to do with my distrust in science

@Jake966 yes but Pikachu's faith has everything to do with his belief in science. He is a nutty fundamentalist incapable of rational thought.

@Jake966

Cool, cool. So could you answer my question? Why do you distrust science?

@Pikachu carbon dating ( or whatever it’s called ) has been proven to be inaccurate time and time again

@Jake966

Carbon dating has proven to be accurate over and over again...just not when you try to use it to date anything over 50 000 years. Which is where other forms of radiometric dating come in.

But i'm sure carbon 14 is not your only reason for distrusting science. Do you distrust it to treat your illnesses? Make your technology? Is science unreliable when it tells you that you have 25% irish heritage or only when it tells you that you're related to chimps?

@Pikachu no one is related to a chimp
