=========================================================================
True, physical knowledge will never be complete, but that does not prevent
us from drawing tentative conclusions based upon the partial knowledge that
we do possess, and in some areas such as math and physics, these conclusions
have yielded spectacular successes, such as returning men from the moon
(where, incidentally they did not sink up to their necks in meteoric dust).
In other areas, especially those involving historical interpretations,
conclusions must remain more recognizably tentative. I could cite some
wonderful examples for you from geology, for example.
=========================================================================
Using the lack of significant meteoric dust on the surface of the moon
has been a standard YEC "apologetic" for many years now. However, I
thought that Howard van Till, Clarence Meninga, and Davis Young had
laid this legend to rest in their case study in "Science Held Hostage".
Am I wrong? Glenn, can you help here?
