I haven’t read where ONE PERSON HAS TRIED TO REFUTE THE REASONING other than to dismiss it as “silly”. THAT is not refutation. That’s intellectual immaturity and not dealing with the facts. > [@](#): > > The man who was KNIGHTED for his archaeological work, and you say he be damned. Well, that’s fine. Congratulations. Your true colors come out. You have become intellectually bankrupt. His arguments work better if you imagine thunder and lightning during all the CAPITALIZED PARTS (boom, crash) **Euty** , you know, don’t you that once you become intellectually bankrupt, you can’t declare intellectual bankruptcy for another seven years. I would recommend trying an Intellectual Debt Consolidation plan first. Maybe try to take out a second mortgage on your ivory tower. ---
