Creation Vs. Evolution -part 3-

The theory of evolution is not scientific.

It is important that we know what science is and are able to distinguish between “science” and what is Rev. Arlo Molenpahl calls ‘’Science, falsely called’’

A typical definition of science is that it is a branch of study concerned with observation and classification of facts, especially with the establishment of verifiable general laws, chiefly by induction and hypothesis.

Webster defines science as “systematized knowledge derived from observation, study, and experimentation…”. You can look at various dictionaries and get slightly different definitions but the key words will be “observation,” “experimentation,” “verifiable,” “testable,” and “repeatable.”

In other words, if it cannot be observed, repeated, verified or subject to experimentation, then it is not scientific.

Evolution has never been observed,repeated, verified nor has an experiment ever been performed regarding it. Thus evolution is not scientific.
