That's fine, you are a biologist then. That's about what I thought, as it is the natural science most removed from mathematics and proof.
All of the above are nice indicators, but not above being faked by people who know exactly how these things are normally verified, except maybe the "finding lots of fossils nearby" point, which is unlikely if that fossil finding was so spectacular.
I am not emotionally involved in this argument, as you seem to be, sorry for trolling you, I just couldn't resist. You basically cannot win this argument: in the end you will have to admit that none of this constitutes proof. Another Ph.D. here who knows one or two things about proof.
- auggierose 10y agoAnother comment to round up the previous one: If there are experiments I can perform in principle AFTER the fossil finding to convince myself that the fossil finding is not a fake, then this would constitute enough experimental proof for me. Because then the fossil finding has in fact become a repeatable experiment. The only question then would be if the journal that accepted the paper about the fossil finding has performed these verifying experiments?
