"Each creature on earth was separately created" is :

  • A.a belief and does not fall within the scope of experimental science
  • B.best described as a natural law
  • C.a testable hypothesis
  • D.a theory

Answer: A

The statement is a belief and does not fall within the scope of experimental science.

A scientific hypothesis must make predictions that observations or experiments could show to be false. Special creation of each species by a supernatural act makes no such testable prediction, since any observation can be attributed to the creator's choice, so it lies outside experimental science.

A natural law describes a regularity that has been repeatedly observed, such as the law of independent assortment; a testable hypothesis is a falsifiable explanation; and a theory, such as the theory of evolution by natural selection, is a broad, well-tested explanatory framework. The creation statement is none of these.
