Is it true there is no scientific evidence for creation?

Question

I’ve noticed atheists will always blurt out “there is no scientific evidence for creation.” However, there are hundreds if not thousands of scientific publications generated by real scientists with real degrees in science including many with doctorate degrees in science.

What is the basis to claim "there is no evidence" other than stubborn ignorance?

Hundreds if not thousands of free links to information all over the net and even more in-depth scientific publications.

Answer 1

They will say it is not peer-reviewed, so take them here:

Answer 2

I took the time to check out your links and I certainly hope you don't think that crap is science. None of the original peer reviewed material was presented. Everything was reduced to simplistic little snippets and creationism.org is hardly a legitimate and trusted source of information. The stuff you're reading is simply propaganda, designed to give unsophisticated readers the illusion the material is objective. You won't find the truth about anything in a Christian website because the whole point of religion is to impart the illusion of legitimacy while telling an enormous lie!

Sorry Dude. I had hoped to find something worthwhile so I could give you some positive feedback. That was my first visit to a creationist website and it's even worse than I feared. It's simply impossible to do legitimate science while promoting a particular agenda.

Answer 3

Every single piece of creationist "evidence" is bunk. 99% of it is nothing more than anti-evolution stuff which is, well, wrong. Even if evolution were not true, it would not make creationism true.

Furthermore, the only scientists I have seen who support creationism are those that got their degrees at religious colleges and don't have any peer-reviewed material.

By the way, have you posted this stuff in the biology section. I'm sure plenty of people over there could refute your "proofs", but I'm sure you don't want to hear them.

And to answer your question: no, there is no scientific evidence for creationism.

Answer 4

Well although science doesn't have answers to all the great theological questions thats for sure. However, I have to quash your party some what by pointing out that most of the scientific examples on these creation websites inspired by Kent Hovind have been sucessfully challenged. Kent Hovind himself is in prison for massive tax freud and purgury. I'm sure you'll be interested to see these challenges as you will want to see the other side of the debate to satisfy your spirit of non biastness! So here's the link to the website where there all listed.

Answer 5

Yeah, there are also hundreds of fortune tellers, mystical healers, and mind readers with websites. Some of them even have PhDs. There are even magazines published for some of these things. That doesn't make any of that crap real.

I've personally written blatant lies for magazines and newspapers, and seen them get published. People can say pretty much anything they want, and there will always be an "stubborn, ignorant" fool ready to believe them.

Take a bow.

Answer 6

Um, your surface research is not very good. Creationists play three games:
1. They quote scientists on fields they are not experts in, for example, a chemical engineer on biology.
2. They quote older work by scientists that was in error, as if it was never disproven, or misapply science (such as claiming a Law designed for closed systems applies equally for open ones).
3. They outright lie or quote scientists out of context, including some who have publicly repudiated the fabricated quotes of creationists.

There are no legitimate scientists supporting creationism, and no legitimate evidence for it.

Answer 7

The vast majority of those claims have already been debunked by mainstream YEC's (search "arguments creationists shouldn't use" by Answers in Genesis).

The entirety of the creationist movement is to throw as much mud against the wall, hoping something sticks. It doesn't.

The "carbon-14 claims is utterly empty. Not one scientists uses carbon-14 dating to substantiate evolution (other radiometric tests are used, Carbon-14 is not reliable on evolutionary scales, and every scientist knows that and says that.).

For every claim you have, I suggest, since you are so utterly sure of your position, that you go to talkorigins.org and read the response to every claim you have.

Since you are sure science is truly on your side, I am sure you will have no problem reading the evidence to the contrary.

Answer 8

There cannot be any scientific evidence for creation because creation was a supernatural event, not a natural one, and the supernatural lies completely outside the purview of science. Science is the study of the natural universe in natural terms. The creation obviously involved the natural universe, since it was its origin - but the cause was God, and science can make no statements about God and His actions, one way or the other.

Answer 9

Post a single link to a scientific journal, if you can! Until then there is no scientific evidence of creationism.

Answer 10

All your resources come from the same web site that has a reputation for distorting the truth. Find documentation and evidence from legitimate scientific journals, University peer reviews, and the web sites of recognized biologists, anthropologists and geologists like the rest of us already have.

Answer 11

Hi im somewhat sympathetic to the situation you find yourself in. It can be difficult to understand what these attacks on your beliefs are but i can assure you that these people, although there answers can be harsh at times, are trying to point you in the right direction.

The only way to investigate and learn more about the situation is to learn the basics of "What is an argument" what is a "proof".

research the Philosophy of Reasoning and Argumentation and learn about "fallacies" such as "apeal to emotion"

Hope this helps bro.
