Using scientific explanations to support the con.              Just read this as it was part of an article.              "Cosimo Posth, an archaeogenetics expert at the University of Tübingen, in       Germany, and colleagues described the genomes of ten different individuals       who lived in three key regions: Siberia’s Altai Mountains, the Kamchatka       Peninsula and other parts of the Russian Far East. Environmental       conditions—cold climates at high latitudes—allowed for optimal       preservation of DNA that was hundreds to thousands of years old. “In these       environments you can find individuals with 70 to 80 percent of human DNA in       their bones, comparable to what you’d get if you extracted saliva from you       or me,” says Posth. “You can actually generate a genome of the same       quality as a modern genome. It’s amazing stuff.”"              If this be true then the tests are missing 20-30% of the info From saliva       tests. So all may not be as it seems. It is only a test of a likelihood a       best guess type of thing. Compound that with the spit tests of a husband and       wife and that can compound the error significantly and a good statistician       will confirm that. Yeah, science is end all be all. Who are ya gonna believe?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
