Karl writes:
Science, according to the definition I was taught at a secular university by
a professor who was anti-Christian and a missionary for evolution (he could
not let a single lecture go by without at least one attack against
Christianity), cannot deal with the past. The closest it can get to dealing
with the past is to deal with is the present status of artifacts that have
survived from the past.

And I ask:
Karl, doesn't the obvious contradiction between your professor's 
characterization of science and his zeal for a particular scientific theory 
of past events suggest the hypothesis that he didn't know what he was talking 
about? (—which, I must hurry to point out, does not in the least imply that 
he was not a perfectly competent scientist)
