Quote by: Zeebadee Horsepatootie. Creationism, or ID, is as much a theory as any other. It requires no link to religious beliefs, although many people continue to attach religious beliefs to it. It's merely the theory that the universe as we know it was created rather than came about by some unknown cosmic event. The fact that we currently have no means to test the theory doesn't negate the possibilty that it may be valid. There is also no requirement to define what or who created it, or by what process it was created to make it a valid theory. Of course, lacking any methods of testing, it's a pretty short and easily taught theory, but it's a theory nonetheless. We may someday develop appropriate means of testing, who knows? |
Horsepatootie indeed.
Do you not understand the definition of the word "theory" as used in science? Or don't you care?
The "Big Bang" is a theory because the hypothesis can be tested against physical evidence. All other ideas about the origin of the universe are hypotheses. (Folks do get sloppy from time to time. "String theory", for example, is not actually a theory, just a very interesting hypothesis.)
Creationism is explictly religion. ID is religion wearing a false mustache. I could care less what your religious views are. I just do not understand why you insist on claiming that your religion is in any way science.
