What theory explains how states interpret norms imposed by the international community?

Do you think Creationism will ever become a scientific theory?

  • As used in science, a theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning, especially one that has been tested and confirmed as a general principle helping to explain and predict natural phenomena. Any scientific theory must be based on a careful and rational examination of the facts. A clear distinction needs to be made between facts (things which can be observed and/or measured) and theories (explanations which correlate and interpret the facts. A fact is something that is supported by unmistakeable evidence. For example, the Grand Canyon cuts through layers of different kinds of rock, such as the Coconino sandstone, Hermit shale, and Redwall limestone. These rock layers often contain fossils that are found only in certain layers. Those are the facts. It is a fact is that fossil skulls have been found that are intermediate in appearance between humans and modern apes. It is a fact that fossils have been found that are clearly intermediate in appearance between dinosaurs and birds. Facts may be interpreted in different ways by different individuals, but that doesn't change the facts themselves. Theories may be good, bad, or indifferent. They may be well established by the factual evidence, or they may lack credibility. Before a theory is given any credence in the scientific community, it must be subjected to "peer review." This means that the proposed theory must be published in a legitimate scientific journal in order to provide the opportunity for other scientists to evaluate the relevant factual information and publish their conclusions.

  • Answer:

    No... Never... Creationists and ID proponents do no research, publish only in ID journals created just for the purpose trying to give legitimacy to bad conclusions... They have no positive program - just a "God of the Gaps" argument...

No reputable scientist would ever say there is "evidence" for creationism. The so called evidence in the grand canyon with missing layers of rock is nothing new. It occurs all over the world where layers are missing due to erosion. That is also a fact. I don't see what the problem is, it happens. but the rest of the world is able to fill in the gaps where it is missing in the grand canyon. I am not sure why you are saying intermediate skulls are a problem. This is all evidence for evolution.

Your point being....? One thing to remember, the ideas in creationism WERE once upon a time the best that science could offer.

Thechange that you are thinking is not going to happen. Creationim dont have any proof except re;ligious texts.

no, creationism is not science, its belief.

Yes, if credible evidence for it actually surfaces. Here's probably the best way, with biblical precedent in Isaiah and the prophets of Baal. A prophet of the candidate god makes a wide-scale proclamation and arranges the demonstration. At a pre-announced date and time (say, for example, May 21, 2011), meetings are arranged at hundreds of scientific laboratories all over the world. Each sets up an isolation chamber (an altar), complete with monitoring equipment and hundreds of trained observers of all ideological persuasions, and billions more via television. At the appointed time, in each chamber appears a unique lifeform, genetically unrelated to anything else on earth, present or past. Once the observers all report their observations, and the specimens are all inspected and tested, every atheist on earth falls down dead. That would be persuasive evidence. Of course, that prophet should expect to face the penalty for being a false prophet, should things not turn out that way. He should be stoned to death.

I think that science and creationism are a contradiction in terms. Science is based on the concept that matter, energy, space, and time are not, and cannot be created. Likewise creationism has no need of science to explain existence. Before the Big Bang, ie. the beginning of the physical universe, there was nothing physical, yet the universe came into being. If the universe came into existence by a force of some kind then that force must have been non-physical in nature... this is the inescapable conclusion, and no other may be substituted for this. Nothing physical will create anything; this is an absolute and observable fact.
