@neologist,
Quote: Where else would confirmation bias originate?
Id rather the term "myside bias" be used, since science began,and the "method" has been popular, science has crashed , burnt itself and rebuilt with many new and better working hypotheses that eventually became testable theories.
Creationism has not(now, I suspect, will it ever).
Ever since the Fundamentlist movements gave rise to the many bible centered worldviews (including Mr C T Russell's own),Creationist "science" has NEVER done anything to advance any undertanding of our living world except try to counter and negate the facts and evidence (And lab methods) that real sciences engage in. You have to admit that "myside bias" is a game Creationism plays to try to crush credibility of cience. Yet, they hvent a clue even where to begin.
Science does a good job on itself. Real science isnt a game of perfect numbers or unassailable facts. Its rising bunch of data and approximations thqt, together. provide a fairly accurate "recipe" for whatever inquiries they begin.
I use Huttons LAW a lot in my work. The Creationists hve tried (unsuccessfully) to poo poo its relevance nd ccurcy. Yet, every day, thousands and thousands of filed crews use the LAW just like figuring out the area under a circle. It has always worked for us, and whenever it doesnt, it Always leads to new discoveries about that rock mass.
