is an ideology rather than a scientific fact, a 'fairy tale for adults'. Gish's creationism states that since there were no witnesses to the unique, unrepeatable events of the distant evolutionary past, both creation and 'evolution' should both be considered equally religious.

There were no human witnesses to the origin of the Universe, the origin of life or the origin of a single living thing. These were unique, unrepeatable events of the past that cannot be observed in nature or repeated in the laboratory. Thus neither creation nor evolution qualifies as a scientific theory and each is equally religious. As the scientific philosopher Sir Karl Popper has stated, evolution is not a testable scientific theory but a metaphysical research program. [Asimov and Gish, p. 82]
