Quote: Creationism fully accounts for all possible scenarios, that is why it is foolish to attempt disprove it or pit it against science.\nI have literally heard the idea that God created the earth some thousands of years ago and all evidence you see to the contrary was placed there by God as a test of people's faith.\nNow what are you going to say to that anyone?
Response: Yes, brains in a vat, the Matrix, and Last Thursdayism are unprovable. That is why science has been so successful - it only deals with naturalistic explanations for naturalistic phenomena. An unconstrained supernatural force can provide an answer for anything (fossils in the ground, complexity in organisms, etc.) but will provide an explanation for nothing. Science is in the business of providing explanations - philosophy is down the hall and on your left.
