Answer 1

flying spag.

Answer 2

Theories are sets of propositions put forward to explain facts or observations. They could come to be widely known to be true and thereby become facts (or sets of facts). One example of that is the heliocentric theory of the solar system. Though not initially known to be true, several centuries ago it became a set of facts. I would say that a scientific theory is one that is capable of being produced by, or used in, science. Hence, it must be capable of employing empirical method, which relies on interpersonal observations within a framework of natural law. The main criterion for such capability is whether or not the theory is: (1) testable (i.e., test procedures that appeal to interpersonal observations can be clearly described for the theory) and (2) compatible with natural law (i.e., conforming to the known laws of nature). The theory need not be true and need not be used by current scientists, but it does need to be the kind of theory that might fit in. Scientific theories satisfy this "empirical method" criterion, as it might be called, whereas unscientific ones do not. If a theory is unscientific, it is because it is not part of an empirical pursuit of knowledge but something else, perhaps a system of thought based on revelation or authority, or something derived only from personal experiences or imagination rather than interpersonal observations.
Creationism is not; nor, can it be a theory. Is there a "stork" or "under a cabbage leaf" theory?

Answer 3

The theory of creation is the big bang and natural selection as found in science textbooks and refined over the last 200 years based on observation of the real world, and repeatedly tested by independent researchers.

If you meant "can anyone disprove MY theory of creation", then first you have to provide some basis for testing your theory that can be independently replicated.

If it is an idea founded on a belief system in such a way that it cannot be supported or disproved by independent evidence; then clearly as it is self-referenceing it can't be disproved because it has not been proved in the first place.

Can you disprove the San theory of creation by the mantis?

Answer 4

No. The 'theory' of creation has been intentionally constructed to be untestable, so it can't be disproven.

However, it can be shown that the universe is more than 6000 years old, and it can be demonstrated that the idea of a world wide flood is nonsense. It can also be shown that snakes don't talk, and that 2 of every land species on earth would not fit on a boat the size described in Genesis. And, it can be shown that kangaroos can't swim.

Answer 5

Was that the flying spaghetti monster? Oh, I'm sorry. He did taste good, with a little parmesan cheese and some garlic bread!

Answer 6

They can but the response will be flying spag.

Answer 7

There is no theory of Creation. It is not testable. It is an absolute non-theory in the purest form.
