[Dimensio]

Oh dear--if the sun rising behind the mountain, or the glimpse of an iridescent throated hummingbird returning to the place it was hatched after thousands of miles of flight are not to be studied--And instead, decades of pouring over old teeth and bones to be studied--excuse me if my attention span begins to fail. Life is too short!

Ah, okay, you're engaging in the logical fallacy of assuming your conclusion, and then presenting it to me as though it were established fact as an argument for not bothering to study the past in any way at all. I apologize. I was under the impression that you were engaged in rational discourse.

I am not here to engage in an endless discussion of cirular reasoning.

Of course you are not. You are here to assert that you are right, all others are wrong, to dismiss any evidence contrary to your assertion and to claim that others are foolish to even consider that you might possibly be wrong.

and you, dear Dimensio, only wish to argue. I'm sure you've had plenty of "discourse" on all the many forums you have visited (as per your first reply)...

and you are quite wrong. I love to study the past very much. Truth from all ages is extremely exciting and uplifting. An old worn out nonsensical "theory" however, stuck in Darwin's 1800's, is excrutiatingly boring (to say the least).

But I shan't argue with you. May you find the truth you seek in all your studying. I applaud your curious mind, perseverence, and hard studying. May it bring you to the purposeof life, and not merely knowledge.

Blessings...
