It's a great question. I'm reading through the account very slowly trying to understand it better.
But would you agree we should stick to the available evidence and point to theories as theories rather than established fact? I watched a beautifully produced program on dinosaurs last night and I'm sure children would be fascinated. My contention with the producers would be the constant assertions that are actually conjecture and speculation. Would it kill them to say "Scientists believe or think or theorize...."?
