dko_scOH - 10/26/2018 06:44 There had been other hypotheses as to why the dinosaurs went extinct after such a long reign. Then, Alvarez upended all of them when he found a thin layer of shocked quartz and iridium at the same geological age in different places around the world -- precisely at the point of mass extinction. The fact that decent ideas gave way to a better idea is proof (if you needed it) that science does not push ideas as final. Rather, it changes as needed to incorporate new information. That's what it is supposed to do. But when money and recognition get involved.................science, real science, not what the masses are programmed to accept as science, gets impeded. I'm going off topic too far. My reply was somewhat facetious as I know OC undergoes a lot of criticism for his views on religion etc. I missed the target. |
