There is at least one instance where it appears to have passed the test.
The work of physicist Robert Gentry on polonium halos in precambrian granite
appears to suggest that the foundation rocks of the earth came into existance
within a time frame of no longer than three minutes.

To date no one has falsified his theories on those halos.  This may indicate
that where before creationism couldn't be considered a theory that it may now
begin to be building up some credibility as such.

The good Lord provided our body with two ends to make use of.  The success or
failure of our lives depends on which end is used most often.
