Answer the question. Can police tell whether a bone belongs to a human?

[PatrickHenry]

Nobody really "knows" what caused this feature in the Arizona landscape. No witnesses. Can't be reproduced in the lab. Therefore it's pure speculation:

What feature? Al I see is a blurry image that could easily be faked in photoshop. Don't peddle your religion to me.

Besides, belief in computer screens is just a religion.

[Doctor Stochastic]

By your reasoning, Scott Peterson, OJ Simpson, and Kobe Bryant,cannot be guilty; there were no witnesses. It's the Johnny Cochran method of denying scientific investigation.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Clearly someone dug it. You can see the highway which was used to transport the dirt away from there and later used to build Boulder Dam.

No witnesses. Can't be reproduced in the lab. Therefore it's pure speculation:

[ I guess that you don't have any refutation to the information that Ichneumon provided? Why can't you just come out and say "I admit that I have absolutely no facts to back up my assertions"? ]

Had no intention of refuteing it. Mocking it is more like what I doing.. You not noticing that shows you might have missed other things.

[(ME) Everybody is preaching something more by what they do than by what they say.. ]
[(YOU) The Bill clinton argument: everybody's doing it.]

You have morphed what I said into a really strange brew..
Are you a DEMOCRAT..?

[Aracelis]

So you are not one of the Evolutionist religious zealots. Not all who study evolution are. Many are real scientists.

No, I am not...but you must admit there are "zealots" on both sides of the argument, yes? Regardless of which camp a person is in, we still have a lot to learn. I don't think the theory of natural selection has it quite right, and certainly the folks who simply say that God waved His hand and all came into being don't have a lock on the facts either. A LOT more went into the creation of this Universe. Anyone who claims to know the "truth" is suspect in my mind.

They say it's the thumbs that really tell the story.

Ah, the measure of a man...and there is some science to back up the contention, statistically speaking. ;^)

[Aracelis]

Thanks! And good luck on your exam.

T - 2h 10 mins...alas, between a sick husband, the kids, work, house, an aging father, and assorted pets there has been precious little time for study. Speaking of which, why am I here? Goodbye for now.

And thank you for the good wishes.

No, just responding to incoherence with incoherence. If you ever make an actual point, I'll try to respond in kind.

This argument don't hold together..

[RobRoy]

I completely agree with every word of your post!

[Dimensio]

Well, at least you admit that you're resorting to childish tactics when you can't address the facts that you don't like.

You not noticing that shows you might have missed other things.

I did notice. I just wonder why you mock, when it makes you look foolish rather than your opponent.
