The Alain Aspect experiment was performed in 1982, not 1962, my bad. I don't constantly refer to wikipaedia for my information, but congratulations on spotting an "alternative fact". It wasn't the first experiment that showed "action at a distance", but was conducted using a better protocol than the previous efforts and is therefore regarded as the first firm refutation of Einstein's continued proposition that the effect was physically impossible. Haven't encountered any creationists in the UK yet, although I have heard that they all voted for Mr. Trump, so I don't suppose I'd like them much. There is not much you can do about strong convictions however, even though I find the suggestion that God created the entire fossil record simply to fool scientists hilarious. We do get occasional clumps of cold-calling Jehovah's Witnesses around here. Their usual approach is along the lines of "The world is in a terrible state, don't you think something should be done about it?", followed by the suggestion that if we all converted to whatever it is that they actually believe in, God would deliver us from said predicament. My (polite, of course) response is to say, "Now that's really interesting, because I have a copy of a book that was written in China around 1000BCE called the Tao Te Ching which is a model of brevity yet contains such insightful statements as 'The world is chaotic, but it's meant to be that way: if you try to change it you will only spoil it more.' " Since this is not covered in their scripting they usually try next door at this point. The book itself is actually a cracking read, BTW. I'm not a big fan of You Tube. Can you not make whatever point it is yourself? Thanks.
