...perhaps there is some compelling archeological and antropolidical records showing that early man may have used all or most of his kills, it is still theory until we can actually see or measure what indeed happened.
The problem is that there is no written record of that time, at least no written record as we are fully capable of understanding. There are some cave drawings here and some cave drawings there, but nothing that appears as a complete historical record.
So, until we have the ability to at least peer into the distant past, it is rather impossible to state emphatically that it was this or that way.
The scientists that study this, simply believe that it occurred as they say it occurred. These scientists have altered their views of the past previously. Being scientists, they do this because they follow the scientific method, which is something that I strongly believe in.
If you wish to bypass the scientific method and call it fact, because you believe it is fact, then you are no better then the people that believe the Bible is fact, because they call it fact.
It is a theory. It will remain a theory, or at least it should, until humanity has the ability to see and or measure the events.
"You can't see the electrons zipping down the wire, but I bet if you stuck a screwdriver into a 220 outlet you'd believe."
This statement is simply asinine. Science has been able to measure the flow of electrons for what, nearly or more then a hundred plus years? Science has been able to 'see' electrons for what, at least 20 years?
I would pity the fool that would disbelieve the scientific laws established around electricity and I will believe in those scientific laws, as should every person scientist or otherwise, until those laws are to be found in slight error. (Since I doubt that they would be found in to be in extreme error.) |
