However, the point is that we can never scientifically know how the universe's initial state was defined because all physical manifestations present now could have arisen from infinitely many initial conditions. On this, I think, we can agree.Originally posted by: ElFenix
i have not agreed that they are scientifically distinct from each other. in fact, i disagree that they are scientifically distinct from each other. THE big bang theory is scientific because it can be falsified using the rules of the system from within the system. THE creationist argument is not because it cannot be falsified using the rules of the system from within the system. THAT is the distinction.
