Criteria for Defining Science?
Falsifiable: Sometimes a theory of design is criticized by claiming it is not scientific because it is not falsifiable. But this claim seems wrong, for two reasons. First, most philosophers of science think it is impossible to define science, and to separate science from non-science, on the basis of specific criteria such as falsifiability. Second, a design theory can be empirically responsive, testable, and scientifically falsifiable, by using the logic of mutual exclusion. Even though in science we cannot prove or disprove any theory, we might be able to develop a logically justified confidence that a specific design theory is probably true or is probably false.
