Oh he will! He'll post a jillion links to bafflegab that only a fool like himself would bother to read, just to have company in his confusion and darkness.

I have never encountered the fossil record while doing archaeology. I work in the US, and at the time periods we deal with, fossilization has not yet occurred. We do deal with "how these organizms lived and died,their diet, environment, social structure, culture," but it is humans and human cultures we are dealing with, not fossils.
