Nor does he state what evolutionists believe. Hows is Macro-evolution science? It is historical science at best, explaining the past based on what one sees, and HOW one interprets it.
I agree with this statement. My largest problem with evolution (and in the interest of full disclosure, I am an active Catholic but do not embrace YEC) is that it really isn't provable. I hear evolutionists say this all the time, that the difference between ID or YEC and evolution is that evolution is provable.
How so? Like you said, all that an evolutionist can do is take a look at the fossil records and hazard very broad guesses at what happened over the course of millions of years.
Evolutionists cannot recreate or prove that some sort of one-celled microorganism emerged from the primordial sludge and somehow evolved into steadily more complex creatures of all types.

I hear evolutionists say this all the time, that the difference between ID or YEC and evolution is that evolution is provable. I don't think I've ever heard an evolutionist say evolution is provable, and if they did they were wrong.
I have heard the quite valid point though that the difference between ID and evolution is that evolution is potentially disprovable.
