>>How long do you think they would last if they threw their hat in the ring of the science? I should think that neither creationists or evolutionists have anything to fear from any of the long-since discredited disciplines you mentioned above.<<
Those are analogies. Creationism meets the same number of scientific criteria as they do.
If you posit a scientific theory is wrong, you need a replacement that is 100% science and explains the extant data.
That’s just it, no historical science can be 100% empirical, because we can’t go back and repeat what we are studying.
