Here's why Creatards might be right

*sigh* He's telling you that, once you understand the mechanisms at play, like genetics and geology, you don't *need* a time machine to study it. The evidence is preserved in the genome and in the rocks.

It's the same reason we don't need to be present at a murder to prove the guy did it. We examine the crime scene. We collect DNA. We look at the body to determine the details of what happened. We collect evidence. We formulate hypotheses about what happened and run tests to prove or disprove them. We build a case and present it to others for public examination.

The difference between a trial and science is that it's just two lawyers seeking to disprove the other one's claims about what the evidence suggests, while the entire scientific community works on the evidence for evolution.

yes but in this case the crime scene is billions of years old and no longer exists but you can make assumption about how the crime scene could have been based on current testing it may or may not be completely 100% accurate at recreating what actually occured but its better than nothing
