When will that be, 24th 29th or 99th century? And NO you do not have it
correct about how science works. We do not wait for "conclusory peaks" what
ever those are. We make hypotheses and theories from the data we have at hand
now. When new data comes in we scramble to modify the old views. If you
worked in science you would know that. Maybe it is you lawyers who reach
conclusory peaks.

Let me ask the obvious question. What are your qualifications for determining
what good scientists do? I manage scientists; I know that your view is crazy.
If my geophysicists adopted a wait-and-see attitude until they had enough
data, I would fire them for not drilling wells. Similarly, if a professor
waits and sees, he will never publish a paper and will be denied tenure. And
you know what? Papers require conclusions and hypotheses. You can't have
hypotheses and conclusions by waiting and seeing.

True believers come in two flavors, Atheists and Creationists who do not want
to deal with the facts.
By the way Jim, how do you explain the fact that no fossils of modern forms
are found deep in the geologic column? You didn't say anything about it.
Does this mean that you fit your definition of a true believer?

I did when I was a YEC, so it doesn't bother me.

When I moved down here, it was legal to drink a beer and drive. When you
threw the can out the windiw the only thing the cop could get you for was
littrin' as they said.
