A. Is there any feature of your theory which is subject to scientific test? This is often stated: is creationism scientific in the sense that it could be falsified? (After Karl Popper's criterion.) Another way of phrasing it is: is there any kind of observation which, if it were seen, would change your theory?
B. Is there any observation which has changed your theory?
C. Is your theory open to change, and if so, what criteria are there for accepting change?

Droppinsh: if you saw a monkey turn into a man that would be very good evidence AGAINST evolution.

Answer the final part.
Creationists is a belief, not science. It is an attempt to make belief fact, scientific fact.
There goal is to prove their beliefs.
God reveals, man observes. Your questions deal with the scientific method the generate theories that explain facts.
What are the creationism facts? There are none.
You can not prove the existence of God using the scientific method. Why? No God facts. [God existed before He created everything you can observed. Do you have a fact about God in the non-observable? -- I think not.]
Even the revelation never proves God exists, it assumes it.
The creationists forgot who created them. They need to read what God has reveal instead of going around trying to observe the unobservable.
Don't bother with part 4. You have already wasted three parts.

1.Creation is very open to scientific testing. Check out irriducibly complex machines. Look at the geography of the earth. DNA, and just about everything can be tested. "hmm does this look/is it created.
2. if i saw a monkey turn into a man my theroy would drastically change. if evolution was correct, we would have wings and essentially be asexual plantlike creatures. doesn't make much sense to lose wings , but create a brain so we could pollute the earth..cause we don't have wings.
3. i have yet to see an observation from any recorded history of one animal turning into another. show me these missing links.
4. only one way to change it is to do what is stated above.

Your belief is a fantasy, not only improbable but impossible.
Probability and Spontaneous Proteins
What chance is there that the correct amino acids would come together to form a protein molecule? It could be likened to having a big, thoroughly mixed pile containing equal numbers of red beans and white beans. There are also over 100 different varieties of beans. Now, if you plunged a scoop into this pile, what do you think you would get? To get the beans that represent the basic components of a protein, you would have to scoop up only red ones—no white ones at all! Also, your scoop must contain only 20 varieties of the red beans, and each one must be in a specific, preassigned place in the scoop. In the world of protein, a single mistake in any one of these requirements would cause the protein that is produced to fail to function properly. Would any amount of stirring and scooping in our hypothetical bean pile have given the right combination? No. Then how would it have been possible in the hypothetical organic soup?
The proteins needed for life have very complex molecules. What is the chance of even a simple protein molecule forming at random in an organic soup? Evolutionists acknowledge it to be only one in 10 to the power of 113 (1 followed by 113 zeros). But any event that has one chance in just 10 to the power of 50 is dismissed by mathematicians as never happening. An idea of the odds, or probability, involved is seen in the fact that the number 10 to the power of 113 is larger than the estimated total number of all the atoms in the universe!
Some proteins serve as structural materials and others as enzymes. The latter speed up needed chemical reactions in the cell. Without such help, the cell would die. Not just a few, but 2,000 proteins serving as enzymes are needed for the cell’s activity. What are the chances of obtaining all of these at random? One chance in 10 to the power of 40,000! “An outrageously small probability,” Hoyle asserts, “that could not be faced even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup.” He adds: “If one is not prejudiced either by social beliefs or by a scientific training into the conviction that life originated [spontaneously] on the Earth, this simple calculation wipes the idea entirely out of court.”
However, the chances actually are far fewer than this “outrageously small” figure indicates. There must be a membrane enclosing the cell. But this membrane is extremely complex, made up of protein, sugar and fat molecules. As evolutionist Leslie Orgel writes: “Modern cell membranes include channels and pumps which specifically control the influx and efflux of nutrients, waste products, metal ions and so on. These specialised channels involve highly specific proteins, molecules that could not have been present at the very beginning of the evolution of life.”

I don't understand A at all and none of these fit my situation.
EVERYTHING WE ENJOY IN THE WORLD IS A RESULT OF CREATIONISM, up to and including juicy sweet apples which come from GRAFTING apple trees
Perfect, sweet fruits don't GROW ON A BUSH, they're made by MEN.
So if CREATIONISM is so wide spread, how can it be FALSE!
Why don't you wait for NATURE to give you a house or car!
What's a matter. Don't like living in a cave.
If CREATIONISM is NOT NATURE'S WAY, why do we CREATE!
Why do WE GO AGAINST NATURE
Look around you right now
Find ONE THING, just ONE THING that was NATURALLY CREATED AND EVOLOVED in your immediate area.
You won't find a darn thing. Not EVEN an APPLE, becase as I already stated it was GRAFTED BY A HUMAN TO BE SWEET.
You think APPLE TREES ARE GROWN FROM SEEDS
Maybe in your back yard, but I can assure you MOTTS does not work that RANDOMLY. It's NOT PROFITABLE.
Each and every jar of Mott's Apple Sauce TASTES EXACTLY like the last jar. There is NO DIFFERENCE jar to jar.
YOu live in an artifically created world made by scientists and industrialists who make their money off of INTELLEGENT DESIGN and try and BRAIN WASH YOU into believing it doesn't exist, because they don't want to you to compete with them and become rich and famous.
So they want you to believe that EVEYRTHING IS NATURAL and grows on trees!
Go pull some 501 JEans off a tree!
Go dig up an X box in your garden.
Let's prove a point once and for all.
Go plant tomatoes and SEE if you get anything looks like what you get in a GROCERY STORE. You know. 14 - 19 ounces that will slice large enough to fit on a slice of bread.
I dare you to grow one! You can't because it is ONLY found in commercial vinyards and THEY WON'T RELEASE THE SECRET FOR HOME USE. It is PATENTED.
The juicey tomato, the iceberg lettuce head is a PATENTED intellegently designed species that is NOT AVAILABLE to the home garderner.
Why. Lobbyists.
You can get it, but you have to LICENSE THE PATENT and pay the FEES. Then you have to employ scientists to make it for you!
You think for one moment Ralphs, Vons and Price Chopper wants YOU to compete with THEM!
The ONLY lettuce you will get out of YOUR garden is frilly BIB lettuce. YOu will NEVER get ICE BERG HEADS that are 10" in diameter out of YOUR GARDEN without invading a commercial grower who gives you some plants.
