There are other problems -- are they saying that one uses an entirely different form of science when dealing with discovery of the past? I would want to know exactly how the scientific method actually breaks down and becomes useless when dealing with questions of the past. Then I would like to see exactly how the only logical option to the useless scientific method is -- magic book-ism. Then I would like to see that magic books actually work to answer questions about the past.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste -- don't pollute it with bullshit.
