Science is full of unproven extrapolated assumptions SpiritWarrior.
Plus you've exalted scientists to be holy men, beyond the petty temptations of fame, recognition, funding, or jobs. Proving the point that people believe somehow scientists are above us all.
The fact is, have you studied the skeleton yourself?
No, all we get are the opinions from the scientists.
As i said, in the video, I didn't even get to see his tail. I wasn't told lemurs have opposable thumbs now. All I was fed in that video was hype about textbooks for the next 100 years, that this was the holy grail of archaelogy and then stuff about the thumb and fingernails etc.
I had to actively reject the POV being pushed. It wasn't a neutral description of the data - "we found these bones and here they are."
No, instead we got an INTENT shoved down our throats.
