Economy of explanation, or parsimony, is an important principle in science. A single hypothesis that can simultaneously explain multiple phenomena is more likely to be correct than multiple hypotheses needed to explain those same phenomena. There is also the requirement that the hypothesis have predictive explanatory power. It must be able to give a further explanation for something we don't know yet, but on investigation, turns out to be the case.
"ITWASALIENS" and "GODDIDIT" do not apply.

Sorry. Your God would be a sick practical Jokester. To give us reason then make a universe that mocks it.
I prefer a God who created a wonderous ancient gigantic universe, with rules that over the ages miraculously led to us, one step at a time....

As do I, I was using absurdity to illustrate a point earlier!

Creationists think all science is “evolution” as soon as it disagrees with yheir wacky cosmology. Linguistics, anthropology, archeology, geology, astronomy, physics, et.al..

Never said God had nothing to do with it. Evolution and a belief in God are not incompatible.

"Evolution and a belief in God are not incompatible."Do you believe in a separation of church and sate?

You stated:
"Never said God had nothing to do with it. Evolution and a belief in God are not incompatible,"and I asked if you believe in a separation of church and sate. You answer: "Yeah. And that has nothing to do with this." Funny how the courts - the way Darwinist stifle debate - disagree with your conclusions here.

But people claiming the earth is 6,000 years old and throwing up their arms every time they find a gap in the data and saying "God did it." is not science. Idiocy, yes, but not science. So everyone who disagrees with you is an idiot?
How objective of you.

"ITWASALIENS" and "GODDIDIT" do not apply. Neither does *ITJUSTHAPPENED*.
Scientists have nothing better to offer just because they kicked God out of their considerations.

Sorry. Your God would be a sick practical Jokester. To give us reason then make a universe that mocks it. On the contrary, making the universe for functionality would not rule out making some stuff with the appearance of age. It would have nothing to do with deceit, as He is so often accused of by those who reject Him.
On the day Adam was created as a man, how old was he? Was he decades old, as a full grown man would APPEAR to be? Or was he less than one day old as the creation account tells us? Which is correct?
The scientist begins with observations and makes a conclusion based on physical evidence and comes to the wrong conclusion.
The believer takes God at His word on faith in spite of the evidence and comes to the correct conclusion.
Imagine that......

"GODDIDIT" do not apply.
Neither does *ITJUSTHAPPENED*."Like Topsey, it just growed"?
By its own boundaries, Science can't even essay an answer. Science, by its own rules, is not even permitted to ask the question.
