We've been sampling for over 200 years. If all we have is a sampling error, it's the biggest, most utterly incredible sampling error in human history.
Maybe it's time for them to forget the past and deal with the present.
How can you be sure, if you don't know what time is? What you're doing on this thread isn't debate. It's heckling. Little last-wordisms batted out as fast as you can type.
Sampling error doesn't depend on the population size. It only depends on the sample size.
I don't give a rat's behind how long we've been sampling. I want to know how much of the earth we've sampled on a percentage basis.

I understand the goose and the gander are somehow related. Have you heard about it? The heckling is well-deserved.
At the same time, I'm asking questions, and certain proponents of evolution theories are not giving answers. Dang straight, if I'm going to be accused of being lazy in the argument for not be an expert in every field I won't sit still while my simple questions are avoided.
The size of the error is proportional to the size of the object being sampled. I'm asking you to let me know where we're at. A percentage figure would be helpful. Can you supply it? What percentage of the earth's geological record has been exposed for scientific observation and analysis? This isn't exactly a question a scientist would shun, is it? Or is the ego so big that such a fact cannot be mentioned, let alone asked?
