Any branch of science which proposes to explain the unobserved past is metaphysical.

Well, that would have to include criminal forensics. So I suppose any murder case without a witness should now be decided by theologians, philosophers, psychics and/or witchdoctors, rather than on the basis of evidence gathered and interpreted by forensic scientists?

The point here is that, in criminal forensics, the evidence must still be reviewed and decided by a jury. This is a metaphysical process. You merely confirm my statment.

As you have admitted, there are no facts that cannot be interpreted in both a creation and an evolutionary framework, therefore evolution remains metaphysical.
