The leaky team unearthed a fossil of an ape man walking upright and concluded that it proved global cooling.
Can someone explain to me why training in breaking rocks and speculating about the origins of man, and then speculating anew when the original hypotheses have been proved wrong, qualifies one as an expert on global climate? Does peering at fossils teach one much about sunspots? Polar alignment? Our path around the sun?
Even more, how do such speculations qualify one as a theologian?
If I throw three bones of a dead rabbit on the ground will their alignment tell me more or less about the destiny of the universe than looking at three shards of a 50,000-year-old fossil?
If I form my epistemology from looking at old stones, will I have a grander view of the meaning of it all if I look at the stones piled atop one another at Stonehenge?
