How have you disproved creation?

The burden of proof falls on the Creationists. They are proposing a 'creation' that flies in the face of all available evidence.

If I claim that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is dancing naked in the street, I have to back it up.

Well you see or maybe not, you are making the creator equal to your conception of 'him'.

The creator is beyond all concepts of the physical universe, life/death, existence/void, eternity itself. We are but players in his dream.

We are told time and again that theories are falsified. Correct?

That they are to be supported by evidence and disproved.

The evidence has been presented time and again and has yet to be effectively disproved.

And dismissing the evidence as *not science* is not disproving.

As for scientific evidence supporting Scripture, there's plenty. Not that Scripture needs the approval of man to validate it, but it IS interesting that science and scientists have come to the same conclusions about the earth and its beginning that the Bible talked about thousands of years ago. Scientists are just playing catch up.

For example......

Gen 1:1 In the beginning.....

There was a beginning supported by the Big Bang Theory and Einstein’s equations and Hubble’s observations.

Gen 1:2 The earth was formless and void,...

Supported by the solar nebula theory and the proto earth.

Gen 1:20 ”Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures,

Scientists say that life arose in the seas.

Gen 1:24 ”Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind...

Gen 2:7 Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground,

“Shaped from clay [origin of life]” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1515522/posts

Scientists have concluded that clay was necessary for the formation of life.

Eccles 1:6 Blowing toward the south, Then turning toward the north, The wind continues swirling along; And on its circular courses the wind returns.

Scripture describes the circulating system of winds.

Eccles 1:7 All the rivers flow into the sea, Yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, There they flow again.

The Bible also describes the water cycle.

Lev 17:10 - 12 `And any man from the house of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people. `For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.’ “Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, `No person among you may eat blood, nor may any alien who sojourns among you eat blood.’

Blood is necessary for life. The life is in the blood.

Isa 40:22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

Job 9 :5, 8 5”It is God who removes the mountains, they know not how, When He overturns them in His anger; 8.Who alone stretches out the heavens And tramples down the waves of the sea;

Earth is round. Could also refer to the orbit of the earth as seen from space. Also, in those verses, the expansion of the universe.

Col 1: 15- 17 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

All things are being held together; gravitation, strong and weak nuclear forces, magnetism.
