Archaeology and Origins, A scientific view

I can vouch for the mutation of buildings, as I have witnessed this myself. Despite having a detailed set of plans, when my house was finally occupied, er, born, it had a number of minor and a few major mutational differences from those plans. --Percy

I think JtG is hilarious. His first post was rather a large and silly stretch, and then he followed it with a beautiful caricature of typical ad hominem argument as ridiculous and overstated as his first. He leaped in a single step from detailed presentation to empty and illogical rhetoric. Whether the irony was intentional or not, how could one help but be amused?JtG didn't even bother to register. Unless he's going to continue to provide entertainment, I wouldn't waste your time.--Percy

JtG writes: Again, I must remind you that scientific theories have problems, they always have and always will.

While all scientific theories may have problems, not all things that have problems are scientific theories.Scientific theories are developed to explain and make sense of bodies of evidence. Theories are considered accepted when they are able to perform this function to the satisfaction of the broad body of scientists.Few would consider your analogy a scientific theory, but if that is what you would like to call it then I won't dissent. But the effectiveness of your theory is measured by its degree of acceptance, the criteria for which I described above, and you don't seem to be winning many converts thus far. The reason for this is quite obvious. Your theory not only has no evidence in its favor, the available evidence directly contradicts it.--Percy
