Dinosaurs Weren't in the Bible...They Never Even Existed.

I guess we have no reason to be skeptical that mermaids exist or existed since someone put one back together huh?

That is only the START of the scientific process, not a conclusion. Here let me explain how science works since it obvious that you don't have a single fucking clue:

1. Some dude (or gal) comes up with an idea.
   
2. They produce data from experiments based on that idea.
   
3. They publish that idea in a paper.
   
4. Other EXPERTS in that field go over every minute detail looking for even the tiniest mistake or dumb assumption. They pound the living fuck out of the idea, data and method from all sides all at once.
   
5. The idea holds up.
   
6. Other experts in the field try and replicate the experiments.
   
7. They publish their findings.
   
8. Step 4 is repeated
   

Now onto your "hey look, I am a fuckwit that has not a clue in his entire brain cavity, here is a mermaid" comment, do you think that mermaid would pass even a casual inspection let alone a scientific one?

If there was a scientist that was able to prove that fossils are just rocks that looked like bones they would be so fucking famous that 16yo virgin school girls would line up around the block to suck his 75 year old cock.
