You should be glad this ISN'T a courtroom, because your statements are
objectionable. You read much too much into things, like "exciting stuff."
It IS exciting, just like geological research is exciting. Some things pan
out, others don't. That's science.

I then made a general statement about archeaology, which is TRUE. And I
cite a specific example, also TRUE. For some odd reason, you use this as an
excuse for further pummeling. I don't get it.

The problem seems to be that you demand certain answers in certain forms.
Just as it appears you "demand" God arrange the evidence so you can see it.
Both positions are unreasonable, it seems to me.
