It's really amusing to hear head-up-his-own-massive-unwashed-chocolate-covered-creationist-botty-pete rattle on about how "you can't experiment on the past". I suppose he means you can't obtain scientific evidence except from the here-and-now. Well, a coupla things, you unintelligent-designer nitwit (by the way, pete, as an aside, why did God put the recreation area right next to the sewage outfall...?). First, good science is predicated on far more than mere experimental results. By constantly referring to this you are doing no more than demonstrating your already well-known lamentable pig-ignorance. Secondly, if this is the view you really hold, pray tell us what evidence you have from the past that so convinces you that a literal interpretation of the tendentious rantings of a bunch of desert-dwellers from a few thousand years ago is so valid. At least we scientific types um and ah and demur and fret and cast doubt about our gaps in evidence. You don't. You're so bloody sure of yourself, even though you're a lazy bugger who relies one hundred percent on received unwisdom, that you constantly diss those who have the honesty and neutrality and industriousness to put in the hard work of actually trying to find out about stuff. Keep your head up your bottom, pete. You can try talking from there and your God may tell you that you can, but at least that way we won't have to hear you.
