Gumlegs: IOW, you took all the science out of it. Congratulations -- a few years of work like this and you may be as ignorant as the rest of those for whom the tenth century appears to be some sort of ideal.

DKC: No sir. I took out the "best guess" lines. The images author, in the bottom right legend, concurs that these are only "best guess" lines.

You need to learn what science is and how it advances.

Doug thinks that his "best guess" is better than the "best guess" of scientists who have studied the topic for years.

Doug doesn't guess. He reads his Bible and knows the answer to all questions. Of course, no two Bible interpretations are ever the same ... but amazingly they're all the only correct one. Go figure.

Look, don't get upset at me. The lines in the chart you posted are, in the words of it's author, a "best guess". He didn't say "educated guess". He didn't say "scientific fact". He didn't say "conclusive proof".

He said "best guess". Which is how I pretty much how I would describe most of evolutionary theory.
