Homo sapien still pops out of the blue and scarely resembles their suggested ancestral reconstructions. Also if scientific types were as smart as they claim they wouldnt take some satire on a quick sum of their theories so much to heart that they actually thought the rest of the sceptical world actually believed it was all that simple........
Should I stock up on beer and chips to prepare for the sideshow for stating that which is not my fault ?

One of the big problems facing science is that the fossil record is extremely bare, in comparison to the amount of life that actually flourished. Additionally, dating hasn't always been a fool proof practice because like any other form of science, it can be proven false. In fact, no theory can even be
accepted as scientific, unless stated in a way that research could prove it false. This is why the psychological predictions of Freud are considered pseudo-science, as opposed to actual science. Radio dating on the other hand, is something that can be physically measured and the same applies to molecular science. However, difficulties associated with figuring out how to accurately measure them will in all likelihood produce error that may later be recognized and controlled for with better technology and research that better applies a more accurate understanding of the laws of physics. Consequently, nearly all fields of science are
always under review, which is an essential part of the scientific process. If we honestly expected every explanation to be 100% accurate the first time through, it wouldn't be science, now would it?
