I do not think it would be reasonable to make such a claim, and would certainly not attempt to verify it. I would, on the basis of what I perceive to be factual data, point to artifacts which, to the experience of most observers, date beyond last Thursday.

Isn't that the exact point we make to the YEC-ists?

Clearly the two beliefs, YEC-ism and Last Thursday-ism, are equally indistinguishable, both intellectually and philosophically. And equally indefensible with respect to any material evidence.

Perhaps, but why should evolutionism fall outside the same indefensible proposition? In other words, what makes "one-billion-yearism" any less susceptible to the fact that our observation of time is limited?
