When it come to who say what, I have not heard of this ibn Haytham, so I really can’t comment on his view.
The “Scientific Method” required 2 main steps:
- To formulate the explanatory/predictive model of the physical phenomena under (meaning formulating the hypothesis).
- The next step is the testing the hypothesis (observations of the evidence) & analyzing the evidence (eg data, like properties, quantity, measurements, etc).
There are actually lot more steps in Scientific Method than what I have described above.
The point is that evidence needs to be physical, and natural or artificial.
But the term “creation” in the religious context (as oppose to the contexts of creation of art or craft), creation would involve supernatural entity or supernatural forces, hence supernatural phenomena, like divine power, miracles, magic, psychic abilities, etc.
To date, there have been no evidence of any supernatural phenomena.
To give you an example of supernatural phenomena in religion, the creation of Adam.
Adam was created from the “dust” of the earth (meaning soil), according to Genesis, or from clay, according to the Qur’an, then molded into shape and given life.
Neither dust (soil), nor clay, can instantly turn or transform into a living adult human male. Such supernatural creation is based on myth, fable or fairytale. It isn’t natural, and there are no evidence for the supernatural.
Plus, a human body is made out of cells, not soils.
There are 3 types of soils:
- silt
- clay
- sandy soil
Each soils are made of weathered rocks, broken down to either finely grained or coarse grained rock minerals. Minerals, like silicates, eg feldspars, micas, quartz.
That’s the most basic composition of soils; these soil minerals are inorganic.
Organic materials are only introduced into the soils, from waste products of organisms, eg feces (drooping, or manure), urinate, skin shedding, dandruff, leaves, pollens, etc, or from decomposition of organisms that have died.
If Adam was made from soils (eg clay, silt, etc), then those soil minerals should be present in the human bodies. But no such soil minerals exist, not even in trace amount.
The cells in all organisms, including humans, are made of many components, especially of organic matters, but no such silt minerals or clay minerals exist in the human body.
And every cells in organisms (organisms from bacteria to the fungi, plants and animals), have 3 essential biological macromolecules in common:
- proteins (which are made of amino acids)
- nucleic acids (eg RNA, DNA)
- carbohydrates (eg sugar)
Soils are not made out of cells.
So there are no evidence that soil can turn into a human being.
So if you did a hypothesis on the creation of human, that man would be made of soil, there would be no evidence that humans are made of dust or clay, hence
creation would fail the Scientific Method.
But then again, Evolution have nothing to do with the origin of life. Evolution is about biodiversity of life over times. Biodiversity as in changes, like speciation.
Currently, the only scientific field involving the study of origin of life, is Abiogenesis, and Abiogenesis is still only a hypothesis, not a scientific theory. Abiogenesis.
Abiogenesis and Evolution are two different studies or two different fields.
So your claim of “creationist evolutionist” is basically oxymoron.
