"Magnificent."

It is amazing, isn't it! Like following the trail of a big bear across a muddy swamp. Right turn, left turn--slept here, got up and walked another 4 miles and slept again. New tracks with duck feathers in them. Bones of dead bear. Huge duck tracks the size of tractor tires going west. Looks like the bear ate the duck and got indigestion and died.

Of course, that Science article was building on information already well known and taught in our schools. Everybody knows that there was no exact stopwatch on this recovery from near extinction. But the ups and downs are well documented through those ten million years, and the subsequent recovery of myriad species is evident. There is another possibility which Science may be forced to look at. The fossil record during than span of time may have been changed to fool them--the way a tennis player scratches out a ball mark on the clay with her foot. The age of the rocks could have been artificially changed by Egyptian magicians except that all humans at that time were potential humans and had no rights for millions of years to come.
