What does that have to do with anything?
The fact that I can't disprove Zeus does not make the belief in Zeus anymore scientific.
Whether God exists or not doesn't change the fact that the belief in God requires faith and is non-scientific.

could you tell that to all the idiots who keep trying to push creationism into schools then?
if there is no evidence equal to the evidence taught for the ToE then they need to stop trying to wedge it into schools.

also tell people like kent hovind and ken ham to stop lying about creationism being equal to science, because its based on faith.

It is only just another question, though, can creationism and evolution not be the same ordeal, only creationism is personified? If you think of it, you can match every event of creation up with a million meticulous details of the evolutionary case. It's as if the words of all these holy books are just concise poetry, to the large stack of papers of prose that evolution has. Creationism is just for the simple-minded (not connoting negativity), who want everything there quick and easy, as where an evolutionary theory is for those who like to explore every minute detail of a matter, and keep revising these details until it is perfect (which it very well may never be).

There is no use in quoting a holy book or tearing open The Origin of Species. [As far as I am concerned (I shouldn't say that because it incorporates opinion into my statement. Oh well.), there are is a completely separate belief for every being that inhabits this Earth, and then some.] Everything, if you do enough piecing together, can all be inherently the same. Everyone is just arguing over ignorance (not connoting negativity once again, merely saying that you don't know everything or strain against opposition, so therefore you are ignorant to some aspects of other ideals), as to where if they quit bickering over the differences, they could see similarities amongst the ideas they hold so dear. (How insightful, I know.)

I apologize if this has already been covered, I just found this thread on Google and thought it to be interesting; wanted to post my own response, although, I, too, have not answered the question asked, I do not think. I read a few pages, then had to skip past all the Biblical and Qu'ranical quotes, restatements on top of restatements, and equations (which were all very irritating) to get here and make a post.

Well, there's some conversation. I hope it's deserved.

Some of the most compelling evidence I have found that I could generally label as "true evidence" is how scripture coincides with science.

Relation between thunder/lightning

14
For the thunder has places of rest (which) are assigned (to it) while it is waiting for its peal; and the thunder and lightning are inseparable, and although not one and undivided, they both go together
15
through the spirit and separate not. For when the lightning lightens, the thunder utters its voice, and the spirit enforces a pause during the peal, and divides equally between them

and there are also passages describing the day/night cycle(364 day cycle, it also states further that man will misjudge the days)

On that day the night decreases and amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts, and the night
33
is equal to the day and the year is exactly as to its days three hundred and sixty-four. And the length of the day and of the night, and the shortness of the day and of the night arise-through the course
34
of the sun these distinctions are made (lit. 'they are separated'). So it comes that its course becomes
35
daily longer, and its course nightly shorter. And this is the law and the course of the sun, and his return as often as he returns sixty times and rises, i.e. the great luminary which is named the sun,
36
for ever and ever.
