Genesis Account of Creation - Naturalism or Supernaturalism?

The Genesis account of creation was recorded over 3400 years ago, long before scientific laws and principles were understood. God is the Creator of science and His work is not only seen by faith, but His work can now also be seen through His scientific laws and principles as chronicled below:

Genesis predicts that God’s voice created light:

“Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.” (Genesis 1:3)
There is a proven scientific phenomenon in which light is created from sound:
“First discovered in the 1930s as a byproduct of early work on sonar, the phenomenon is defined as the generation of light energy from sound waves.”

“How can sound be transformed into a brief flash of light? Recent experiments have provided new insights into this remarkable phenomenon, but its cause is not yet fully understood.”
“Sonoluminescence: the star in a jar” by Seth Putterman, Physics World, May 1998. (See PDF)
Note: Genesis states that water was present with God in the beginning; “And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” (Genesis 1:2)
There are three forms of light referenced in the Bible; God is Light, the Light projected from God, and the light from the sun, moon, and stars.

Genesis predicts that God created matter:

“Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so.” (Genesis 1:9)
There is a proven scientific phenomenon in which the Light can create matter:
“Now Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and of Applied Physics, Hau has done it again. She and her team made a light pulse disappear from one cold cloud then retrieved it from another cloud nearby. In the process, light was converted into matter then back into light.”

Genesis predicts that God created all life:

“Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass … “ (Genesis 1:11-27)
God created sound, light, and matter so, if He also created life, the Theory of Creation predicts that a unifying principle MUST be found within sound, light, matter and life:
Sound, light, matter, and life all have unique molecular resonance frequencies, i.e. God ‘spoke’ all creation into existence:

“NIST researchers tried a little-used technique called inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) that measures the vibrations of the molecules inside the junction. “Each molecule has its own vibrational fingerprint,” says Wenyong Wang, adding “IETS acts as our eyes to see what is inside the black box.””

“Scientists from the Ulysses mission have proven that sounds generated deep inside the Sun cause the Earth to shake and vibrate in sympathy. They have found that Earth’s magnetic field, atmosphere and terrestrial systems, all take part in this cosmic sing-along.”
http://www.physorg.com/news106568459.html
“Max Planck researchers have for the first time analyzed the frequency of molecular resonance, in the same way as musicians analyze the notes of a chord. Their results have even been made audible.
In terms of physics, there is hardly any difference between the resonance in a molecule and a musical chord. Both are created when vibrations with different frequencies overlap. In music, it is the notes that make up the chord. In molecules, these frequencies are also called quantum states.”

"Scientists are now developing an incredible new technology to record and amplify the minute acoustic signals given off by single bacteria, viruses and DNA molecules. The ability to identify specific viruses or cancer cells by their sound has profound implications for the medical world …”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/thematerialworld_20031120.shtml
“But researchers across the globe now say they have developed microscopic devices that can listen to sounds at the cellular level …
The goal is that eventually doctors could use a database of cellular sound signatures to quickly identify the sounds of healthy and unhealthy cellular activity.”

The Theory of Creationism existed and had been the scientific explanation for the existence of life long before the Theory of Evolution was erroneously presented as ‘scientific.’ The Theory of Creation has NEVER been falsified; therefore it is still true.

Genesis predicts that God created life “each according to its kind.’ (Gen. 1:11–12, 21, 24–25).

‘Kinds’ in the Bible relate to ‘family’ in the biological classification of mammals and birds. God created each kind with the genetic ability that allows for a generous, but not unlimited, amount of variation and adaptation (microevolution). Those genetic variations and adaptations created all the different types from each kind that did and do exist today (speciation). However, continual change beyond creating different species (macroevolution) from created kinds has NEVER been proven to occur.

REVIEW HOW THE GENESIS THEORY OF CREATION HOLDS UP WHEN USING THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD OF TESTING A HYPOTHESIS:

Make observations.
Form a testable, unifying hypothesis to explain these observations.
“By "testable", we mean the predictions must include examples of what is likely be observed if the hypothesis is true and of what is unlikely to be observed if the hypothesis is true. A hypothesis that can explain all possible data equally well is not testable, nor is it scientific. A good scientific hypothesis must rule out some conceivable possibilities, at least in principle.”
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/sciproof.html
Deduce predictions from the hypothesis.
Search for confirmations of the predictions; if the predictions are contradicted by empirical observation, go back to step (2).
(From: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/sciproof.html)

Results
The Genesis Theory of Creation is predictive, testable, dependable, and NOT contradictory by empirical observation.

REVIEW WHAT IS CONSIDERED AS NATURALISTIC BY EVOLUTIONARY STANDARDS:

“In science, explanations must be based on naturally occurring phenomena. Natural causes are, in principle, reproducible and therefore can be checked independently by others.”
“Science, Evolution, and Creationism,” 2008, National Academy of Sciences (NAS), The National Academies Press, third edition, page 10.
http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=11876

Using the standards above:

Are the explanations based on “naturally occurring phenomena” within know scientific information, laws, and principles?
Can any be “reproducible and therefore can be checked independently by others”?

Results:
While the resulting actions of the Creator are “naturally occurring phenomena” and are “reproducible and therefore can be checked independently by others,” the Theory of Creation is naturalistic, even though the Source (God) is supernatural.

If evolutionists do not agree with the above claim, they must reclassify all scientific laws and principles as supernatural, unless they can name the specific source of each phenomenon.

We are not advocating the teaching of the Theory of Creation as fact in science education. But, to preserve the integrity of science education, teaching the unscientific Theory of Evolution as a fact serves no one but those who have an agenda to indoctrinate students into their religion of Humanism.
