obviously nobody has observed the origin of the universe, the origin of life, or the origin of a new species (change when that last becomes untrue).

Of course, that last has become untrue. And even Answers in Genesis agrees that speciation happens.

OK, then drop that part. It doesn't change the position I suggest.

By the way, I don't believe the paragraph I suggested would allow the teaching of "creation science" I personally believe that G-d created the universe and that the seeming gaps between the scientific record and the Biblical record are due to man's inability to properly interpret one, or the other, or both. However, I don't think you can teach special creation as science. That is because you can't use hypothesis, experiment, observe, revise to clarify the details. G-d did it once upon a time and that's all we have. AFAIK, all "creation science" ever does is try to refute evolutionary origins. But what good does that do, removing one theory is not the same as advancing another unless you have categorically shown that only two possibilities exist.

Shalom.
