Pete: "...when all other data shows otherwise"    unless you can demonstrate, bill, that remains just an assertion"

I could say the same thing to you, Pete, about both the veracity of the bible and the claims of so called 'creationist science'. I could cite 379 sites and tests and collection of data that show the basic evidence for evolution, but you would do that circling back to your assertion that we are just 'believing' such things as a matter of 'faith' in science because we are lacking ALL relevant data. Why, someone 'might' dig up a human in the jaws of a dinosaur!~

To shorten this post, I can simply say "yes!" to Shimrod's post above. Your way of changing the accepted sense of basic scientific & logical terms to validate your own opinions is not only unfair, but unsound. I can't say it much more politely than that.
