We agree, creationism cannot be tested...neither can evolution. -me

False. Every time a fossil is dug up, it is a test of evolution, in the sense that it has the potential to disprove it. (eg, a precambrian rabbit). So far, it's never happened.

Not false at all. Evolution cannot be tested (although the has been no lack of trying...witness what's been done to the unfortunate fruit fly). The fact that fossils exist in no way proves evolution is the best explanation of the bone yard. Proof is the issue.

Regarding your other posts, why God chose to create man with certain similar or even exact copies gene subsets in no way proves transformation between species. Perhaps one day you can ask Him why he chose to use similar building materials in His various designs.

Make up your mind. Which is the issue, "testing" or "proof"? If the later, please cite an example of a scientific theory, preferably (for purposes of comparison) a biological one, that you consider to have been "proven".
