I fully accept Pete has a different world view to most people here. I debate with him primarily to increase my understanding of that. But I do expect him and others to be prepared to support their statements or to agree they got a bit carried away. In this case Pete said "Former evidence (ie that used to convince scientists software following Hutton that young earth theories can't work is dropped or discredited even by evolutionary scientists." I interpret that last bit as meaning scientists who aren't creationists. Now if that statement is true, you would expect the evidence in the journals they use and gsa bulletin can be considered as the historical record of how the thinking has changed. So it would certainly contain articles in support of Pete's statement. So I am not challenging Pete's beliefs at all, just asking him to support a statement about what non creationists think
