"No, I don’t like that."

Well, that's what you did.

"But your posts are taking on such a reaching and gigantic silliness factor, that they are becoming unworthy of argument. You can’t poo-poo away the facts here."

The *fact* is that proteins were found where they shouldn't be. Now, the 'interpretation' is that proteins can be preserved *because* the assumption of long-ages must be preserved at all costs.

Since the supposed 'conditions' are unknown, were this really science, the model predicting long-ages would be brought into question. Since the model is a metaphysical belief, the belief is preserved and an appeal is made to unknown 'conditions'.

That you are unable to question your beliefs and choose to appeal to unknown conditions in the face of anomalous evidence shows where the silliness really lies.

Who says they shouldn’t be there? You? It might be surprising to find something like that, but it’s not impossible. There’s no need to invoke some conspiracy based on non-science.
