Who decides that a piece of work is "art"? A group of people defining themselves artists or art critics.

Who decide a theory is valid? A group of people defining themselves scientists.

Don't jump on me! Not yet, at least. Let me finish.

I agree that "science" operate in a way more formal than say, art. But there are many things accepted as incontrovertible truth by the scientific community without proof that it is actually true. True, they found big bones of giant reptiles. This proves dinosaurs existed. But how can they, just from the bones, decide the color of their skins, their cry, their social behaviour.

And that applies in many other scientific fields. As DBK said, the general consensus determines the scientific truth.

But how often science has been wrong? Look at a simple thing like the atom. How many times we've discovered we could split it in smaller and smaller pieces?

So, saying creationism and natural science are not on the same level because the former is not "exact" is wrong.

However, I do believe they are actually NOT on the same level.

Creationism is the history of what God made.

Natural science is the study of the rules God used to create.

The one does not exclude the other, but is like comparing history with physics.
