I've posted some comments elsewhere. I'll just say here that I'd WANT the stone to be real. Heck, I WANT that "Scottish discovery" of America in 1400 to be real. Or the claim that Coluumbus was Jewish (as one recent book "proved") or that Columbus was an illegitimate son of a Portuguese prince (as another recent book "proved"). Produce ONE reputable historian (NOT an "engineer" or a "geologist") to endorse the book's thesis, a person who doesn't stand to profit from the "authentication" of the stone via a book deal.
Sir:
What a hundred Historians say will not alter a concrete scientific fact. But a fact will alter what a hundred Historians say, honest ones anyway.
Facts aren't what we want them to be. They are what they are.
A lot of Anthropologists endorsed Piltdown Man. They did not stand to profit from their endorsement. That didn't make Piltdown Man authentic.
Wolter, in my firsthand opinion, is an honorable man. Please do not attack his findings in an ad-hominem fashion.
