The operative word in fact is historical. It defines the difference from the other subjects that actually use science correctly and so have credibility to make thier claims.
Please demonstrate how chemistry and physics use a different scientific methodology than evolution i.e. both use indirect evidence (particularly sub atomic physics). Why is it "correct" there but inappropriate in biology?

Ok, great authority. Please, using the bible, explain how the methylation patterns of the H19 locus contribute to genomic imprinting of this gene. Thanks in advance.

Because what they conclude and claim is not now observable.
So the methodology for historical subjects is clearly to all different from chemistry. The latter deals deals with today's observations of its actions and results.
Hmmm so when was the last time you observed a quark directly? How about hydrogen combining with oxygen..have you really ever directly observed this? I guess you would have to conclude that water and matter do not exist? Biology is no different from chemistry...and yes, evolution can be observed in the present in fast reproducing organisms.
Make a Boot camp topic and we can discuss it futher.
