An Untestable Hypothesis to Explain Creationism
According to the doctrine of logical
positivism,
statements that cannot be tested for truth or falsity are

course
of daily life, we often have to make important decisions even when we
do not have the time or the ability to test all of our
assumptions. In fact, sometimes we have to make important
decisions based upon assumptions that are impossible to test.
In
such situations, we make our best guess and go from there.
