". . . and since I'm not sure if you're being rhetorical, water makes up the vast majority of our body mass.

You may think it to be rhetorical for me to bring this up. I don't know. But this would be an axample of an ancient writing corroborating a scientific fact that is not seen by the human eye. Now, with "cooincidence" being the trump card of evolutionism, there really is nothing in all of existence that cannot be explained away, is there?

I mean, one could argue that ancient writings ascribing "water" as the larger part of the human makeup were simply spun from a superstitious imagination and just happened to be on the mark this time. Right?

Would it be inappropriate for science to predict, based on this writing, that the human body would be found to be comprised mostly of water?

Anyway, I'm beginning to like this evolution stuff more all the time. Can't think of a single notion I cannot make up or excuse at will and without accountability. Can just brush certain facts aside as cooincidence.

and Nostradamus and Revelations hold weight in your world as well, I guess. how about Miss Cleo? Sheesh.

I don't think there's much divine mystery behind early observations that the body is mostly water. Observing what happens to a dead body in the desert provides some easy (and obvious) clues about the ratio of tissue to water, and mummification is itself a pretty ancient art.
