This module has presented the definitions for science, creation, evolution and origins. Both the origin of life and the origin of the universe are historical events. They are not repeatable. Therefore, they are outside the limits of empirical science. Both creation and evolution use circumstantial evidence (not empirical science) to discuss origins. Thus neither model is more "scientific" than the other is.

Both creation and evolution provide models for evaluating the evidence. These models are also used to offer predictions. In this module we examined four topics: Nature Selection, Speciation, Fossil Record and Age of the Earth. After comparing the evidence to the predictions, we saw that creationism is the more accurate model.

The Peppered Moth and the Galapagos Island Finch are often used as examples of macroevolution. But we have seen they are actually examples of microevolution, the small adaptations within a population of organisms that allow a certain trait to be expressed to a greater or lesser degree than before. These show the Creator's design, which allows species to adapt to changing circumstances.
