It's not the interpretation, but where you find them.
Finding modern day creatures bones mixed into say, the Permian layer, would falsify ToE.

So, how does one 'falsify' an interpretation of bones and fossils? By finding contradictory evidence.
To: MEGoody
Who decides which scientists get to make the decision? Editors and referees of scientific journals.

Editors and referees of scientific journals.So it's a political thing. I see.

By finding contradictory evidence.However, if one has a preconceived bias as to what any evidence found will support (and we all know human beings are like that), then 'finding contradictory evidence' is subject to the interpretations of the evidence given by biased individuals.
And please don't tell me scientists aren't biased. If they are human, they have biases.

Finding modern day creatures bones mixed into say, the Permian layer, would falsify ToE.That, of course, would depend on how such a finding was interpreted. :)

Yes, bias is an issue, but what you fail to see is that interpretation can only take you so far. The beauty of science is that it provides a method of testing hypotheses so that the result is NOT open to interpretation.

So it's a political thing. I see. Nope.
To: MEGoody
Yep. Political and economic. Those who parrot the party line get their papers published; get tenure; get promoted to editor; get the Pulitzers and Nobels.
That's been the way of things in publishing for two centuries. It's no different today. People with power do not give it up.

ARe you suggesting that modern day bones are found frequently in old layers?
