A date they are now apparently assigning to be "tens of thousands of years earlier". Instead of 12,000 years, the date suddenly jumps to 50,000.
Did you actually read the article and try to understand it? You know - like the bit about 10,000 year old evidence found in the topmost layers of the cave floor, and then deeper layers showing evidence of much earlier habitation?
Unfortunately we don't know what exact results of the various tests were and the assumptions made in assigning the dates.
By “we” you must mean some community of which you are a member that elects to remain ignorant of the tests and dates. The article lists over 20 relevant technical scientific papers, and mentions the existence of numerous others.
Yes, as in some evidence of their humanity.
That’s it? You really think some ephemeral “evidence of their humanity” is scientific evidence that they lived recently, and descended from Adam and Eve? The article mentions more than half a dozen different scientific types of studies that have been done, all of which agree on dates far predating Eden.
Then, there is the evidence of the historical manuscripts and their trust worthiness... as divinely inspired and inerrant.
Lacking any scientific evidence that is even remotely credible, you (not unexpectedly) unabashedly fall back on your religious tomes. Thanks for a clear admission of how vacuous your scientific evidence was.
I do anthropomorphize sometimes also. But, I object to it when the term is used to imply all scientists agree...case closed.
On almost any scientific claim, if I were to look hard enough I could probably find “scientists” who disagree. In your case, as you have just clearly demonstrated, that disagreement is prompted by allegiance to a religious dogma, and not secular science.
I am a scientist, and when I say “science says” I am referring to the conclusions of “mainstream” scientists.
Scientists are as human as you and I. We all have that option of changing our beliefs.
Your wording implicitly includes you as a “scientist”, and says you can change your beliefs. Can you change your belief to accept Homo floresiensis as living tens of thousands of years ago?
