There is a vast body of related knowledge concerning genetics. But with every piece of evidence shown to the creationists, they respond with what the logicians call an ad hoc argument . An ad hoc argument is one that is created after the fact, in an attempt to deal with an unforeseen problem, instead of being a part of the theory from the beginning. So, if there is a rock that is too old, or a fossil that shouldn t be, the creationist might respond with well, God put that there in order to test our faith, or the days in Genesis were actually millions of years long or mysterious are the ways of the Lord. Obviously, creationism is based on faith, not science.
Science is always a work in progress.
No one believes in evolution, or the theory of relativity, or the laws of thermodynamics, the same way that someone believes in God, angels, or the Bible. Science is not a matter of faith. But science is really just this method of gaining knowledge, not knowledge we can necessarily be certain about, but knowledge that we can rely upon and use with some confidence. For all the negatives, it has been the most successful method we have tried. All rights reserved.
