What scientists actually strive for are theories, not laws.

Agreed. And this brings up a bigger point. If you look at the "research" the creationists do, it ALL involves proving the evolutionists wrong. None of it is original research on their part. How do you "prove" God created the universe? You can't, it's an article of faith.

True, but the real problem with creationism is "How do you prove that God didn't create the universe?" The answer is you can't. The basic premise of creationism is unfalsifiable and hence untestable. Since it is untestable it cannot form the basis for a scientific theory, which by definition must be testable.
