"Going back 30,000 years requires you to speculate," he says, "because we really don't have much of an idea what was going on."

An awful lot of science is just speculation and guesswork. There's nothing really wrong with that, but if someone says, "That doesn't really make that much sense", they are apt to be shouted down "You moron! It's settled science! The evidence is overwhelming! What? You think some man in the sky did it???"

Much of so-called science is just pushing a belief system based on little evidence.

I enjoyed reading your interesting comments in an earlier thread about this.

Keep looking, fellas.

The oldest mountains on this planet are right here in America. Wouldn't be surprised if this is the *cradle*.

Keep looking, fellas.

The oldest mountains on the planet exist right here in the US.

Native Americans say they’ve been here forever.

Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if this were the *cradle*.

The most glaring of those gaps is the anomalous existence of a 14,500-year-old archeological site in Chile, near the southern extreme of the Americas, that clearly predates the time when East Asian hunters are thought to have first crossed from Siberia to Alaska via the Bering Land Bridge at the end of the last ice age some 13,000 years ago.

Amazing. Archeologists came to the New World before the hunters and were doing archeological digs in Chile 14,500 years ago? Sometimes we seriously underestimate the ancients.
