A Theory of Creation, compliments of Trueorigin.org.
That link has been bandied about before, and I've read it. I went through it, and they state over and over again that their "Theory of Creation" can be falsified, and yet not once do they present a falsification criteria for it.
Asserting falsifiability is not the same as demonstrating falsifiability.

I take that back, they do assert falsification criteria. And then, when some of the criteria has been met (such as age of the earth estimates), they handwave it away.
In other words, it can be "falsified" (their specific presentation of the theory), but they've already decided that it won't be falsified.
Mind you, they admit that the whole "God" issue is non-falsifiable, which means that "God" cannot be a part of the theory at all.
