stu, you know full well that repeatable experiments can not be performed on what is in the past, so my distinction still stands. and I have indicated the difference in the song, and elucidated in my last post.
shimrod, I very much doubt that open minds are the domain of evolutionists, certainly not in most posting here. of course they have to adapt constantly [and then claim it as a merit] but the foundations of their religious position is non negotiable, albeit lip service protestations to the contrary.
if you re read last post you will see I said "scientists of creation persuasion" and if by your shorthand "creation scientists" = no such thing assertion mean these , then you are clearly blinkered to reality. you can not remove earned doctorates because you disagree with them. or to put it another way, a scientists position on origins does neither endorse , or detract his expertise
