Creation Science

Yeah, there is such a thing.

http://www.icr.org/article/10456/

Long, long, long article. It talks about oxygen content in the atmosphere, nucleotides, and many, many, many other scientific stuff to discredit evolution.

What the article doesn't do is explain who created God. The article's summary:

Only an all-wise and omnipotent Creator could have been responsible for the miracle of life’s origins and the diversity and complexity of its amazing systems.

"You can't disprove God!"


Okay, the article expressly states that the probability for life forming from non-life is extremely small. BUT IT'S NOT ZERO. The odds for life forming spontaneously are extremely small. BUT THEY ARE NOT ZERO.


Congratulations! With that whole article they have not only failed to prove Creationism, they have also failed to disprove abiotic genesis of life. Really impressive.


Oh btw, it seems the article only deals with equilibrium-thermodynamics. One branch of the most recent research on the origins of life concerns non-equilibrium-thermodynamics.(e.g. during a meteor-impact) Which is cool, because outside of a thermodynamic equilibrium you can do "impossible" stuff like destroying entropy.

Apparently the only qualifications are to be able to put words on paper and have absolutely no shame.
