there are other possibilities - o The tests were never done, just lied about; o The tests were incompetently done; o The tests contained errors; o The tests were contaminated; o The 'evidence' is fraudulent; o Other possibilities which have not occurred to me. Hmmm.. Well its nice to see you stepping in the right direction Paul. That MS can be so bad... or is it only likely when MS itself, that consensus you praise, is challenged by a dissenting opinion, that these other likelihoods are possible.. Isn't that a bit dogmatic?.

Either DNA does survive for millions of years ( since it's unfalsifiable, MS will just declare it's true by fiat) Or the dinos aren't really millions of years old but < 5000 yrs ( since that has religious overtones MS will declare this premise false) RB @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Come now Robert -- there are other possibilities - o The tests were never done, just lied about; o The tests were incompetently done; o The tests contained errors; o The tests were contaminated; o The 'evidence' is fraudulent; o Other possibilities which have not occurred to me. I don't mean to point fingers here, I simply observe that the simplistic this OR that, them OR us etc argument is not appropriate. I'm still hoping to get to your longer post still unanswered but I'm well behind the play at the moment and "... there are only so many hours in the day ..."
