Ah yes, I see how you practice science!

Here is what I detest about science, or supposed science (as science should be objective, not drawing conclusions one way or the other before proof is found)
Referring to the Sumerian King's list:
" Some of the earlier dynasties may be mythical; and only a few of the early names have been authenticated through archaeology."
The assumption is that because they cannot be "authenticated through archaeology" they must be "mythical", i.e. false. The failing could not be in archaeology, that is to say, if science cannot prove it to be true, it must be false (you don't find that a tad arrogant?). Troy also was a myth, and anyone who thought otherwise was ridiculed as believing in fairy tales, that is until mythical Troy was proven to have actually existed. Oops!
But of course the Kings list must be false, because certain kings are listed as living hundreds, if not thousands of years, and we know beyond doubt that this is impossible. Despite the fact that these long lived rulers (who are distinguished as gods) is also reported by the Egyptians as well as other sources. But of course gods are just a myth, therefore they are false. Good sound reasoning there. :p

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
