Scientific Criteria - Naturalism or Supernaturalism?

*Evolutionists state that ALL explanations for phenomena MUST be based on naturalism without any hint of supernaturalism, i.e. something attributed to a power that seems to violate or go beyond natural forces.

However, contrary to their own standards, evolutionists continue to offer nothing but supernatural explanations for every tenet of evolution. By using the evolutionary standards below combined with current scientific information, laws, and principles, we will prove that evolution MUST be reclassified as being a supernatural. Here are the two sets of criteria that will be used to assess evolutionary explanations for:

The Evolution of Life

Common Descent

They will also be used to assess:

I. The Scientific Method

a. Make observations.
b. 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.”

c. Deduce predictions from the hypothesis.
d. Search for confirmations of the predictions; if the predictions are contradicted by empirical observation, go back to step (2).

II. Definition of ‘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.”

*When referring to ‘evolutionists,’ we are referring to the believers that are NOT ignorant of the lack of evidence, but choose to believe in evolution in spite of it.
