It happened again.
I was just mentioning, in context (we were visiting a natural history museum), how there was a recent National Geographic article arguing that the arrival of Man conincides with the mass extinction of "megafauna" in Australia and the Americas in the 40,000 to 15,000 YA range.
DW is wary of my vulnerability to scientific arguments that strain the church's version of events. Sensing the implication that the scientific view of the migration of Man disagrees with the Biblical view, she says "I don't think that could have happened, no matter what proof you think you have". And that's verbatim.
"...no matter what proof you think you have".
That's the church's free pass. Dismiss an argument without any rationale, and offer no counterargument.
