"I do know that the Institute for Creation Research is a legitimate research lab and school with many fully degreed and qualified scientist."
You [doc1019] seem to be making the mistake of believing that anything a person who claims to be a scientist or who has 'degrees' in a field does is science, independent of the methodology. This is nonsense.
I would like doc1019 to produce some of the 'research' ICR has produced that fits within any reasonable use of scientific methodology.
Processes today operate primarily within fixed natural laws and relatively uniform process rates, but since these were themselves originally created and are daily maintained by their Creator, there is always the possibility of miraculous intervention in these laws or processes by their Creator. Evidences for such intervention should be scrutinized critically, however, because there must be clear and adequate reason for any such action on the part of the Creator."
This single tenet removes all resemblance to science by removing any possibility of predictive tests, falsifiability, and replication of results.
OIC:
Look, those that believe in creationism are characterized as closed-minded. I believe that those that believe otherwise are just as closed-minded. Peruse the website and do it with open mind.
