The scientific method: There can be no God. Therefore, let’s see what theory we can build to disprove His existence.
The creationist method: There must be a God. Therefore, let’s investigate how He made this universe and how it works.

Science does not, can not, deal with the supernatural realm. Science does not address theology. Science only makes assumptions based on observation. Period.

Is that really what you believe? Wow. To repeat Stormer, science cannot observe or measure supernatural beings or events. If it (or you, or anyone or anything) could, there wouldn't be 1000 different supernatural deities for people to worship today. There wouldn't be the endless religious arguing and denominational disagreement. If the supernatural deity could be observed, there would be no atheists or agnostics. We'd all be peaceful loving religionists all following the same supernatural deity.
Real, good science has no such agenda that you've formulated in your paranoid head. And lastly, science certainly is not about "disproving" or proving negatives. Science follows evidence. That evidence currently shows us an old earth and evolution are the most viable explanations for our world today. If a supernatural deity has directed that, so be it. He is supernatural and has covered His tracks as only a supernatural deity could.
The creationist method: There must be a God. Therefore, lets investigate how He made this universe and how it works.
I applaud your honesty. Now if only the ID crowd would admit as much in public. Anyway, you are entering the fray with a MASSIVE presupposition, which works well in church, but not in the scientific literature. Remove that MASSIVE presupposition, and get on with investigating the universe and how it works, and if you THEN reach the conclusion that God did it, awesome. You'll be rich and famous beyond anyone's wildest dreams.
To date, despite all the garbage that GGG throws up on the wall here, no one has done that yet. All his ilk have done is continue to lie and deceive and critique real science with a bias beyond compare.
