Which just goes to show that there is no way to predict intelligence doesn't
it?
In the first place, having a BA from a university means that Alex is not
qualified to be a "Dr Alex" as he would have to have a doctoral degree.
Furthermore, I have serious doubts that this Alex chap has a background in
paleontology since that would entail a knowledge of biology and it is clear
from his post that he does not.
Alex's "paper" is not wonderful. It is a peice of work. It is also
blatantly false. It is utter tripe and the only people who would see value
in it, are people looking for support, however inaccurate and ridiculous, to
justify treating people unequally.
This sort of tripe that tries to pass itself off as fact is vile and
disgusting and promotes obtuseness, ignorance, stupidity and the post thisis
in reply to makes that quite obvious.
