The Nature of Science and of Theories on Origins | Gish, DT. 1995.
Impact 262:i-iv. CELD ID 2925Abstract Science is our attempt to observe, understand, and explain the operation ofthe universe and of the living things it contains. Since a scientific theory, bydefinition, must be testable by repeatable observations and must be capable ofbeing falsified if indeed it were false, a scientific theory can only attempt toexplain processes and events that are presently occurring repeatedly within ourobservations. Theories about history, although interesting and often fruitful,are not scientific theories, even though they maybe related to other theorieswhich do fulfill the criteria of a scientific theory.
