Laudan responds carefully to the five properties given by Ruse. He breaks them into two families. The first has to do with lawlikeness and explanatory power. The second family has to do with testability and falsification. He proceeds to challenge each family separately, and he concludes that Ruse and Overton got it wrong – it isn't that creation-science isn't science, but rather that creation science is bad science
