editor-surveyor: "In your twisted and willing mind, I’m sure that is so, but to one that demands the objectivity of pure science, they both fail dismally.
They are propaganda, not science."

I'll set aside "your twisted and willing mind" for now -- until it becomes obvious that like Fantasywriter you are only here trolling for victims of your abuse.

"demands the objectivity of pure science"?
Meaning what, possibly -- demand something that satisfies your religious convictions?

Sorry, but by definition of the word "science" (methodological naturalism), any scientific explanation must meet its first requirement: natural explanations for natural processes.
So, if you inject your religious beliefs into your "science", then it is no longer real science.

Further, you have no authority to change the definition of "science" to suit your own purposes.
In the end, science is defined by scientists, not by those who despise it.

So both Evolution and "Old Earth" meet the criteria for real science, regardless of whatever claims about "the objectivity of pure science".

Possibly time for you and Fantasywriter to move along, to some other internet site?

Truly time for you to move on!

You do not have the authority to re-define science. Science will forever be objective gathering and evaluation of the empirical evidence; and never will “methodological naturalism” be accepted as a substitute for science by an honest-to-goodness scientist.

Propagandize somewhere else.
