That is pretty much what my post said. Since there are no video’s or photographs or written records from millions of years ago, scientists have to play role of Sherlock Holmes and use available clues to reach conclusions.
But when current data is available, science is extremely precise. For example science can measure your exact blood pressure and accurately predict your chances of having kidney failure.
Current data is not enough to reach verifiable scientific results. Data can be doctored and misinterpreted and lost and messed with, and even ‘made up’. Such as the ‘current’ data in ‘global warming science’.
My previous posts mostly related to data that is old and very skimpy and which requires a lot of guesswork, such as when a single tooth 100 million years old takes ‘scientists’ on a path of a lot of guesswork and speculation.
