Tomayto, tomahto. Non-answer.

I'd ask for the references to that, but I'll never see you again (see below)

I don't give a flying frack at a rolling doughnut about your impact layers in
this argument. I don't deny in any way that there could be late-prehistory
impacts. I have NEVER ONCE claimed otherwise. What I've been questioning the
whole time is the reliability of myths as records of deeply ancient human
history. The fact that you are claiming that I've addressed or dismissed in any
way issues of impactite layers, buckyballs, or any other geological evidence is
a straw man of your own creation.

Yep, that's objective and scientific. I see your agenda now. You are a True
Believer. This is your religion. No room for discussion left.

I've found the proper response for you. Immediate killfile. You and the list
will never be bothered with posts about your drivel from me again.
