History of the historical vs. operational science distinction

That article makes the point, with an actual reference to the originator, that a creationist did indeed invent the historical/operational distinction.

The actual phrasing may have been concocted by a modern creationist, but the distinction long predates modern creationism.

Assertion rejected (again!) due to no evidence being provided, only biased and irrelevant suppositions

In light of this, the fact that they did not formally distinguish between “origins science” and “operational science” does not really matter much. The notion was a traditional one, not the product of modern creationism.

Assertion rejected.
