What you are saying is that when there are rival theories none of them are true. Or in other words, since we cannot be certain about everything we don't know anything. Talk about fallacies. I seriously question your logical judgment.
I seriously question your reading comprehension.

Deliberately obtuse, or accidentally?

And that's why paleontology isn't science. It doesn't make risky, falsifiable predictions.
You literally just gave an example of paleontology making a risky, falsifiable prediction.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
