from goo to you by way of the zoo

That's good, I hadn't hear the "by way of the zoo" before.

Here are the others I know of:
goo to you
molecules to man
particles to people

Someone yesterday was insisting that the assertion that evolution was a fact was not asserting molecules to man.

It would be interesting to me to discern the driving motivation behind this contradictory assertion.

I think, or conjecture, that he believes that the observed evidence of adaptation is proof of cross species evolution, but for some reason knew he couldn't defend goo to you by way of the zoo.

The discovery of land in Florida during the early Eocene opens the possibility for researchers to explore the existence of land animals at that time, including their adaptation, evolution and dispersal until the present.

This scientist must have been driving through the Del Boca Vista Condominiums - Phase III. Lots of dinosaurs migrated there from the cold northern climate of Brooklyn.

There! Fixed it!

Advice on “science-speak”: When one sees weasel words such as “could,” “maybe,” “perhaps,” “might be,” “possibly,” and so on in a science article or in the underlying study, take 1 grain of salt with the article.

Yeah, Florida indeed could be millions of years older than previously thought. Or it could not. Maybe it is. Well, maybe it isn’t.

Beware of a subtle “science-speak” trick as well: At some point the “could” gets forgotten and becomes an “is” — with no actual new evidence to support the assertion, or any actual evidence; nothing.

To take everything with a grain of salt is something new to you?

Well they use a “similar” process as an “injection well” on the residence of florida... but didnt know you can use it to date them...

So it’s older than dirt?

[Sawdring]

"Our studies of environmental change at Pineland show that while sea level is rising very quickly today, water levels fluctuated up and down when the Calusa inhabited the area from AD 1 to 1700," said William Marquardt, Randell Center director and curator of archaeology at the Florida Museum.

They never attributed the rising sea level to global warming.

[Grimmy]

My guess is that it is exactly as old as dirt.

Most things made of dirt are as old as dirt.

Strange word... dirt. Looks funny.
