Exactly.
What we accept as evidence and how we evaluate such evidence differs between disciplines.
That is the point I have made as well.
Scientific proof is based on observation, experimentation, repetition.
Creation and evolution are both postulated as historical occurences.
What happened then cannot be observed or repeated now.
I see.. but you are capable of claiming that dinosaurs lived with humans even though it can't be observed or repeated now?
You claimed the oceans were frozen 3 billion years ago but you have never observed it and it certainly can't be repeated.
You claimed the sun was cooler 3 billion years ago but you have never observed that.
Funny how you are quick to jump on "scientific" proof when it supports you wacky ideas. Maybe you should try meeting the standards you set for others.

That is why both evolution and creation use primarily circumstantial evidence. Inferences are drawn from what we see in the present to try to determine what happened in the past.
So, are you ready to admit the oceans were not frozen?
Are you ready to admit that you have never seen a dinosaur live with a human?
Are you ready to admit you are completely nuts for suggesting the sun was cooler 3 billion years ago?
Of course you still haven't answered how the sun could even exist 3 billion years ago since it is only 6000 years old.
