@ninthamigo The scientific method cannot identify anything as "supernatural", since supernatural literally means a subversion of the observed and explainable order. Joshua's extra long day cannot be explained, but even if it were observable by a modern audience would not be enough to make it science. It wouldn't even be a phenomenon, but a mere "unexplainable unique thing". Science today is the method to explain, not simply describe.
Dawkins, whom really isn't that great of a philosopher, did shine here when he juxtaposed a crane with a sky-hook in The God Delusion. A sky-hook that lifts things offers no explainable power, but a crane does. Ergo, the crane is science and the sky-hook is not.
So, if the miracle of YEC be truth, it's a shame it's been neither observed, nor offers explainable power to our observable existence. Hence, it is not science.
YECs fixation on being identified with science is a fixation with materialism, a sin mind you, and they would do better to recognize it more wholly as the matter of faith it truly is.
@Matthew If YEC is not resting on the foundational dogmas of sin, death, redemption, and resurrection, I'd like to hear your convincing argument. Without it, I'd suggest there's a glass house in here.
