No, evolution clearly falls into the second category. Various evolutionists have asserted that creationism is a priori unacceptable because it means there's a supreme being. In other words it must automatically be rejected, regardless of scientific problems with evolution and regardless of any scientifically based creationist arguments. Scientific creationism uses naturalism the Method just as much as evolution does.
Really? Where are the important scientific creationist discoveries?
All I ever notice creationism saying is "You'll never find a fossil in that gap!" Or sometimes, "You'll never understand how that works!"
Many of its predictions are already wrong when uttered, but it just fumes and hisses on. It's heckling science, not doing science.
