The Basic difference between the creationists and the scientific community
is that they have all the certainty and none of the facts, while science
has all of the facts and none of the certainty. Cardinal Bellarmine
criticized Galileo's method because it could prove things false but never
find truth. This is still true of science. We can never be certain our
theories are true only eliminate the false ones.
