The steps of the Scientific Method are:
Observation/Research, Hypothesis, Prediction, Experimentation, and Conclusion.

Evolution has not been observed by modern day scientists. The Creation of the Earth has not been observed by modern day scientists.

It was observed by God. Jesus is the Son of God and part of the Trinity. Therefore Creationists have an eyewitness that says the Earth was created and people following the religion of evolution and abiogenesis have no eyewitnesses.
Good luck with duplicating the experiment!

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.~ John 1:1

Can ‘supernatural’ events occur, or not? Doesn’t science rule out the supernatural? Well, no, it doesn’t. Science is descriptive, not prescriptive. Laws of science merely describe things that happen, and those things would happen whether scientists have formulated a law about it or not. It is not our scientific laws that cause things to happen the way they do. Similarly, scientific laws cannot prescribe what cannot happen. Our laws of science can no more cause or prevent something than a map can affect the shape of a coastline.

PATRIOT1876: "Evolution has not been observed by modern day scientists. The Creation of the Earth has not been observed by modern day scientists."

Evolution itself has been observed -- descent with modification and the effects of natural selection can be seen by ordinary people every day.

And dramatic changes over short periods have been observed on a small scale.

And the records of large scale changes over very long time periods are found everywhere -- in fossils and DNA analyses.

Yes, no way can we go back in time to observe the creation of our earth.
But we can, and have, looked back in time through telescopes seeing into deep space the "birth" of other new stars and their new planets.

Nor is there any physical evidence suggesting our planet was created any differently from those.

Finally, I'm delighted to see you quoting the Bible to me, just in case anyone had confused your arguments with science.

By your own words, your arguments are religious, and I say, that's wonderful. You can have whatever religious beliefs you want.

Just please, don't call your religion "science."
