One point that is worth adding is that for someone to debunk a certain claim, one has to have doubts as to one's validity to begin with. All too often people believe claims simply because these claims are being made. So to use your example at the top of the post, to debunk the claim that "Science thinks humans have spoken language for about 10,000 years now.", one has to have an inkling that this may not be so, that scientists give different dates, that this is a controversial issue, etc.Asya Pereltsvaighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111831062274618509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298055147607304087.post-16645426368553055872014-12-21T11:01:15.970-08:002014-12-21T11:01:15.970-08:00Thank you for all if your work and attention. Acha...Thank you for all if your work and attention. Acharya's ramblings long ago reached the point of diminished, almost nonexistent returns from a scholarly and rational perspective. You appear to be an intelligent and rational person who might more profitablably spend your talents in other ways. Mayonardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519243031719427874noreply@blogger.com
