made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as
to indicate that:

Creationism is a disproved theory.

No, Creationism is a non-disprovable theory, which is why it doesn't
belong in science classes (which is not to say that it doesn't
necessarily belong in schools).

Creationism has both empirical aspects and non-empirical aspects.
The empirical aspects are disprovable

They are not.

I have a theory that the entire universe was created ten minutes ago,
complete with memories. Disprove it.

It is not a statement relating to anything empirical. There is
nothing to test. There are no empirical aspects to disprove.
