Had the radio show said this:

Taken together, the botanical and anthropological data on the one hand, (...)

Are you serious?

Had the radio show said that, those 95% would've stopped listening after that, nobody would've cared, there wouldn't have been a news item, this thread wouldn't have existed and you wouldn't have heard about this.

That would've been science, but not particularly popular anymore.

btw, when did we have proof that Moses really existed in order to start doing a scientific research on what he was smoking?

what's next? examining the sociological factors that lead Adam to wear almost nothing during his stay at God's playground?

Beings of a sufficient technological level beyond ours are indistinguishable from God, right?

I was going to ask the same question but didn't want to be accused of douchbaggery.

It is not speculation, because it is based on factual evidence.

I'm surprised I'm the first one to catch this howler. Most speculation is based on some amount of factual evidence. Claims based on no evidence at all are not even speculation, just unfounded assertions. What makes it speculation is that the evidence exists but is not sufficient to rule out other possibilities or make a convincing case for your argument. If this hokum is more than speculation, so was W's line about Saddam having WMD.
