After they perform their expeirment, they evaluate their results and discuss them. That is a basic principle of science. The reason evolutionists can back date a finding is because through experiments they develop methods to date perhistoric specimens. Then through experiments they test whether their discovery is in anyway related to us. After they finish their experiments and submit their results for peer review they can publish them if the experiemental design is determined to be sound. In essence in order for anything to be called science you need to work on a hypothesis and test it through experiments. If you don't have that, you don't have science. What do creationists do? They preach a belief without scientific methods to prove it. As such, you can only believe what they preach if you have faith. That is what religion is all about. In religion you accept facts if you have faith. In science you accept facts if you perform experiments and after analyzing your results you conclude whether your hypothesis was right or wrong.. No one would object to call creationism a science if creationists performed experiments and submitted their results and observations for peer review before they could be published in a creationism journal. If they did that no one could argue that creationism is a science. In fact psychics could be called scientist alos if they performed experiments to figure out the probabilities that their predictions will come through! If they did that no one could deny that they could be called scientists. However, to call science a religion of naturalism is ridiculous at best. Religion is done through faith. Science is done through experiments. These are two very different disciplines that creationists are trying to sugarcoat as one. However, the reason they have failed to succeed at this is because the issue is a black and white issue. You can not call science a religion and you can not call religion a science because they follow two different principles. Those who attempt to do that are simply lying and they know it, which I believe is also a sin? That's my faith talking now.
