(I think, however, that being truly objective is very difficult. Our point of view tends to color what we see way too much and there's always room for error because there's always some decision made that is just a matter of judgment. Our interpretation is often colored by how we feel, or what we're thinking of at the moment.)
I have thought about this concerning this new fossil. If we found it and put it with the other fossils from the fossil record, would we develop the theory of evolution, or something else to explain why they look the way they do.

Is that a trick question?

on post 1082, I forgot to include the assumption of not being aware of the ToE.
So, if we weren't aware of that theory, and came across this, and other fossils, would we develop it or something else to explain the fossils.
Are we making evidence fit the theory?
