I haven't looked yet, but I think, "Probably not." How about you?
you can't even replicate original changes done by your so-called process of evolution so why are you asking to replicate creationists' work? practice what you preach.
I'll take that as a no.
Experiments don't try to replicate reality, they try to elucidate data and inferences that tell us something about reality. You can't replicate a Seven Day Creation, either, but you consider it real. If creationists claim to do science, they should perform experiments that can be done by others with the same results.
The replicability of experimental results is crucial to science. Say a couple of fellows claim to have discovered a cold fusion process. That's pretty exciting--until everyone who follows their methodologies precisely fails to obtain the same results.
So I do, indeed, follow what I preach: I don't accept the results of any experiment until it has been replicated by other experimenters. The experimenters' religion is irrelevant.
My point, of course, is that "science" without replicable results isn't "science" at all. As far as I can tell, the ICR doesn't perform any experiments at all, let alone replicable ones.
