Agreed. There’s a world of difference between observational science and “historical” science. Biases inevitably enter the picture on the latter, because no human being was there.
Evolutionists inevitably believe the universe created itself, and that life created itself via spontaneous generation, something that was disproved by Pasteur over a century ago. Even the most “simple” single-celled organism is stupendously complex, and it’s downright laughable to believe that such complexity could just magically spring from lifeless chemicals. Such (misguided) faith they have! They have no idea how it happened. They just have faith that it did. Yet creationists’ faith is somehow invalid and “unscientific.” There’s a logical disconnect there somewhere.

No there isn’t, such distinctions are pure fiction concocted by people like yourselves, who loathe & despise scientific findings which disturb your religious beliefs.
And by Supreme Court ruling on US law, you people are FORBIDDEN to redefine what is, or is not, science.
Of course, you have every right to believe & advocate whatever you wish, so long as you don’t pretend you religious beliefs have something to do with “science”.
They don’t.
Afnco: “Evolutionists inevitably believe the universe created itself, and that life created itself via spontaneous generation...”
Nonsense, your first problem is: you utterly refuse to tell the truth about science, most likely because you refuse to study it, and therefore totally misunderstand it.
No “scientific theory” says, “the Universe created itself. “
The fact is that evolution theory says nothing about the original creation of life on earth, because there is as yet no compelling evidence of exactly how that happened.
Yes, numerous hypotheses have been suggested, but none strongly confirmed, so this is a question that science just can’t answer, yet.
Most Christians believe God created life on Earth, and are quite content to watch scientists struggling to figure out just how He might have done that. ;-)
