When you said that, I chose not to respond because that statement says
something very important about you. It means that you think everything in
this world is logically equivalent. Your interpretation is as good as mine
which is as good as a bunny rabbits. If we find a size 12 shoe footprint in
a flower bed, is any ole interpretation as good as any other? I say a 6 ft
+ man stepped on my petunias. You say it was a lady. OK so far, because
shoes don't reveal sex. But if my neighbors comes over to see what we are
staring at and one proclaims that it is the foot of a space alien, the other
says no, that he saw kangaroos making tracks just like that on his vacation
last year. A lady stands up and says she saw a German shepherd walking
through the petunias an hour ago and it was probably the dog.
Are all these interpretations equivalent? Of course not. And neither are
all interpretations of scientific data equally good. Some are just plain silly.
How would you interpret the fossil foot prints found throughout the geologic
column, I mentioned to Jim Bell? What is your interpretation?
