I am a creationist. I do not see creationism as science. Of course I do not see evolution as science. I DO see the work done to attempt to find evidence of the history of bioligical life forms to be science however.

Science is not our God nor is it an intellectual panacea. It is one field of human study, as is art and phylosophy. It does not have all the answers to all the questions, because some belong in other field.

After all, science is about how, while religion is about WHY. Even if we DO discover everything there is to know about science, we still will not know WHY anything exists.

And there are no verifyable or proveable hypotheses about the origin of life. It is all just speculation at this point.

All of it.

It doesn't matter whether you see evolution as a science. You are not a scientist, and your opinions on what is or is not a science are meaningless.

And there are no verifyable or proveable hypotheses about the origin of life. It is all just speculation at this point.

If there were verifiable hypotheses about the origin of life they would be called theories. Theories are the highest level attainable in science. Proof is for mathematics and whiskey.

And hypotheses about the origin of life are entirely separate from the theory of evolution. They are two different fields. The only folks who lump them together, and resist all efforts we make to show that they are different, seem to be creationists. Why is this?
