Message-ID: Date: 12 Jan 89 16:17:17 GMT Organization: Carnegie Mellon Lines: 13 The problem with Creationism as a science, is that you can't really use it to make a prediction (which you CAN do with Darwinism, it might not be correct, but that goes into the definition of a theory). Why can't you make any kind of predictions with Creationism? Well, mainly because it deals with God, therefore you could only make predictions if you could understand God. After all, if he just decided to create the universe, well he could decide to revise/eliminate at any time. On the side of evolution, it makes predictions, like: Natural selection will cause animals that are not suited to their environments to die out, while thoses that are suited will survive and reproduce. To simplify things my HS taught both, and let the students decide which they though was correct. / Rick Golembiewski rg20+@andrew.cmu.edu \ \ #include stddisclaim.h /
