This article came from one of those creation science web sites, but its not science. Its closer to the methods used by the inquisition than to science. They start out with a belief, then go about looking for evidence to prove it. That's how it was proved that people were witches so they could burn them at the stake. When someone starts out trying to prove something they already believe, they will ALWAYS SUCCEED no matter how stupid or wrong their belief is. Because they pick and choose the evidence they want to use.

Take some time to read this website. You will be enlightened by the fact that you have perfectly described modern science.

Exactly right! Note, however, that telling the Emperor he's naked does not stop him from prancing around in his imaginary finery. Appearances must be mainained.

There is nothing in the article to support your position. It looks like you started out with a belief and you presented it without providing any evidence to prove it. Welcome to the Inquisition.
