Is creationism (Genesis) scientific in the sense that it could be falsified?

Question

Is there any observation which has changed your theory?

Is your theory open to change, and if so, what criteria are there for accepting change?

Explain how the degree of genetic variation in contemporary animals resulted from the few on the Ark

Explain how a viable population was established for all of those animal kinds from only a single pair of each.

Answer 1

only science can be made false,because human beings interpret the results.creationism cannot be made false scientifically, because God created human beings, and human beings are trying to interpret God.how can man understand the atom, when man cannot interact with the atom? man can surmise theories based on observations, but to say that man can tell how the atom was created is just speculation, inspired by ego.
okay,question #2:
yes,evolution as seen in biology, as helped me to understand, to the point, that virus's mutating into stronger virus's, explain many of the plagues as read in the Bible.evolution also explains why we have so many diseases which keep mutating into different strains.as a result, i understand the concept in Revelations, where the bowl of plagues is poured out among the nations.
okay,question #3:
yes, my theory is open to change, so long as scientific concepts, complement scripture.however, it also states in the Bible, that the word of God, is open for reproof.what i mean is,when i read in scripture that, God poured out the bowl of plagues among the nations, i could not grasp this concept until evolution explained how, plagues were poured out among the nations.
okay,question #4:
when i think about, Ray Comfort explains this perfectly. you have a boeing 737 and boeing 747.do you think, that because both aircraft, have similiar parts, that both aircraft were evolved from the same species, of course not.God took genes from the 737 to create a new species.in other words, God took genes from many animals and created new species by forming these genes, not by evolving species from the same gene.
okay,question #5:
well, the only way i can explain this, would be to say that, animals don't give birth to one baby at a time. no, animals give birth to several babies at a time.that should explain why,with only a single pair of animals, that you are able to have the species multiply.also, who's to say that the single pair of deer, didn't have sex again after she gave birth to her first doe.only death will bring us the answers we seek.
God Bless

P.S. i know i didn't answer your questions fully.i am not an expert, or have a b.s in science.i try to answer your questions from the bottom of my heart.this is the best that i could do.

Answer 2

No, Creation is not meant to answer scientific questions. It refers to "Why are we here? What is our purpose?" The beginning and purpose are essential, the mechanism irrelevant.

Evolution works on "How did we get here?" The beginning and purpose isn't so important as the mechanism.

This is why this debate will never be solved: the debate is between two ideas that are forced to compete, much like asking "Am I alive, or do thoughts drift away?"

I will debate you on the Ark, though - since other cultures have a cultural memory of the Flood, one can only conclude that other cultures survived the Flood, hence other animals. When God said all the world had angered Him through sin, did that mean there was none righteous but Noah's family? Would it have been meaningful enough to bother saying "Look Noah, you're the cream of the crop, and I love your whole family. Everyone else around you is a sinner. There's a few righteous people over in Kamchatka, and a few more in a place I call 'Nepal' and then some in an island across an ocean you've never seen where I created these groovy hopping things, but the important thing is I'm going to flood out everyone you know but you and yours. Build a boat."

I apologize to the Lord for the irreverence, but really unless we're going to say that the Dravidian, Bactrian, Pelopennesian, Kish, Native American, Aborigine and Yangtze Valley civilizations all came from Noah's offspring, someone else survived the Flood.

Answer 3

I dont believe that Genesis has been or ever will be falsified. In Genesis alone their is, I believe, 3 storeis of creation. Read Genesis carefully to see this.

Their is no observation which has changed my theory (apparently). Scientists have proved with their own technology that human civilization begin around the fertile crescent, just as The Bible had stated.

The average person has made the misconception that Noah took 2 animals of each species, but that is incorrect, he took a pair of animals for each, well, animal (Bird, dog, lamb,etc...). You questioner, seem to understand this, thats a start. Their is such a variety of species from so little animals, because they have indeed evolved, but not as greatly as Apes have thought to. They were all placed in new envirements, so adaption was neccesary.

Well, with the above stated theory on thought, this question is pretty much answered. Just add the abundance of time these animals had till this age, and you get your viable population.

Well, questioner their are your answers, in the appropiate order. Keep in mind how much easier it is to be the questionar, then the answerer. The accuser, then the accused. Read more of The Holy Bible, and see how this trait has been greatly influenced and passed on.

Answer 4

Creationism, evolution and all theories of the worlds existance is a religion. You have to believe in it. because you cannot explain it. In Creationism, ... in the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth... Where did God come from. You have to believe it happened, because you cannot explain it. In Evolution, ... in the beginning the dust particles started to form and spin around faster and faster until bang, the earth began, QUESTION: Where did the dirt come from, where di the forces like interia and gravity come from to create a swirling to begin with. You have to believe it happened, because you cannot explain it.


so we have

Evolution......... In the beginning DIRT

Creation.......... In the beginning GOD

You make your choice who you want to belive in.

And as for your question,

you can breed a dog...... over and over and over throughout hundreds of generations and you will never come out with a tomato, you will just have variations a dog, but it will still be a dog.

How are humans so variant? We are a very adaptable kind. If I we're to take my husband and I and go and live in the African Jungle, and we were to only inbreed, to make a population, using none of the natives there, in 400-500 years, my decendants would turn black. Because of the pigmentation of the leaves and atmospheres, and atmosphereic pressure, they would eventually turn black.

How do you make another breed of dog? the Labradoodle........ you breed a lab with a poodle, and again, until you have two labradoodles, preferably inbreed, as it is to make a specific breed, check out how they made the boxer. But if you breed those two Labradoodles together, you'll get closer and closer, until eventually you will just have Labradoodles coming out. But you'll never have anything other than a dog.

No Our theory is not open to change, The Bible says he's the Same Yesterday, Today, Forever. He never changes, what's right has always been right, and what is wrong has always been wrong there is no inbetween. People change their standards, He has never changed his.

Oh yeah, a nice tidbit. It takes 5,000 changes in order to make a copyright. That means everything that was traslated from the KJV had to have 5,000 changes in it. You can't tell me it's the same.

so instead of moving the stardard down to the people, lets move the people up to the standard.

As for the population, ... it's not difficult. I suggest you do a study on how they developed the 250+ dog breeds, better yet try cats... You might be suprised. akc.org is a great website to find the history of the breeds,


Well, I hope I've answered your questions.

And by the way, ... my own opinion,.... since evolution and creationism are both religions, why are they teaching our public children only one of their religions. I personally belive that the evolutionist should take and build them a private school and teach what they want. not in our public schools. I know a guy who has the facts. The link is below.

PS. the dinosaurs were on the ark.......ever think of taking babies?

Thanks

Answer 5

Even with an Earth Science/Geology degree, I have seen nothing that has changed my adherence to the theory of creation science. Even evolutionists adhere to their theory on faith because it is all how one interprets the data. If you approach the data with a bias, it will be interpreted according to your bias. There is no way to prove either one because none of us was THERE to witness things.

The criteria for accepting change should be based on pure science and not on circular reasoning. The more research that is done focusing on some of these questions, the more it confirms the stance of a young earth. Evidence suggests much more catastrophism in earth's past which leads one away from uniformitarianism and billions of years.

This question is the typical one from evolutionists. There is no doubt in my mind that God can start with an organism that contains the entire genetic palette of possibilities for a species. The male dog only has to contain half the possibilities of genetic variations and female the other half. The same is true of the argument about Adam and Eve. The societal conventions of mating with siblings has not always been the case. But as the genetic makeup of an individual has thinned, the question of viability has become apparent.

The 2nd law of thermodynamics deals with entropy. Simply stated, on the macroscopic level complexity always breaks down toward less complex (except with the intervention of intelligent design, whether that be God upon Creation or humans upon their environment). So if God created an organism that starts out with great complexity, it will, according to the 2nd law, over time, move toward a less complex organism. The variety of species will show the variety that was contained in the originals. This is MICROEVOLUTION, not macroevolution.

Dogs have always been dogs and will always be dogs, yet the species can show variety within. Same with humans. We have always been human and will always be human. Fish have never become birds or vice versa.

Answer 6

Genesis just states that God created everything-it does not tell us how.
Watch what is going on in the scientific community on this issue. They use models to test their theories. The creation model has made a lot of believers among scientist. The evolution model is not doing so good right now. I could tell you lots of things-but you won;t believe me. Go check out what the scientist are looking at-and what they think.
Evolution is dying.


BTW evolution theory has been "evolving" for 150 years. Creation remains unchanged. Some idiots try to mix the two and call it 'progressive creation', but it has to change every time evolution theory changes.

Answer 7

The elements of supernatural in Creationism make it unfalsifiable.
