Hmmm.........something fishy happened in the quoting of quotes that were quoted.
I disagree (hard) science always win (if pointed in the right direction)..............take the Atom Bomb and Japan as fair warning.
Besides, many non-science archaeological theories/papers have been disproved (or at least discredited) by scientific evidence..........its just many archaeologist chose to ignore the evidence and to 'believe' otherwise.
Funny, a bit like a religion in that respect.
But I do agree that science can't answer all questions, as the evidence to answer some questions hasn't been uncovered yet. But then science's strength is not in answering questions, it's in how to ask questions and how best to propose present and destroy a theory.
So I suppose, if non-scientific archaeologists keep proposing theories based on belief and scientists keep knocking them down with evidence, maybe some answers may arise from the process.:face-stir:
