Sorry not to be more exciting, but that is how science works.
"Sorry not to be more exciting, but that is how science works."
Hasn't got anything to do with being more exciting. It does have everything to do with avoiding the responsibility of explaining Mr. Fraud Protsch. This sweeping under the rug of "well, isn't it nice that science showed that science was wrong" is awfully convenient.
Sort of like saying that Christians discovered that Jim Bakker was running a shell game, but weren't we good for knowing that he was a fraud?
If you're going to call Christians to task for the Ken Ham's of the world, you've got to answer for the Prof. Protsch's.
That's how the game is played in the real world.
