"How does the scientific method disprove the Genesis account of creation? The scientific method deals with the how of the here and now. How does the scientific method apply to creation? Without eyewitnesses to the event of creation, we are dealing with faith."

You think forensic science is faith because noone eyewitnessed the crime?

Science is filled with approximation "constants" which are sometimes replaced by other variables. Scientific theory is refined over the course of time.

This is not to fault the scientists, it is just to say that they don't know all of the answers although to hear some tell it they are as infalible as appointed judges.

Evolution is a THEORY. It may quite well get some parts of the history correct but other elements are modified over time (again I bring up the dispute over just where man originated Asia or Africa).

The sticker said that it was a theory and not provable science (at least at this time). Some did not like this, including the author of the book. Mighty presumptive of him to "know" that he is completely right.

The principles of forensic science are phenomena which can be tested and experimentally verified in the lab. There may be some uncertainty in application of those principles, but the science is not based on a story than no man has ever seen.
