... how about gravity? It doesn't care about anything except mass and distance. A brick, a bottle of gas, a pail of liquid, a plastic laminate, a rock, a human body, indeed anything to which a "mass" can be assigned, is affected by gravitation. All differences, except in mass, are irrelevant ... comprehensive religion of Egypt one would have separate lectures in philosophy, mathematics, and applied science.

C., wrote in 1978: "Why this veneration of a stark cubelike building of gray stone?

... inferred. The Laetoli bipeds, whatever they were, walked barefoot but Cremo and Thompson claim that a 5 million year old (or possibly even 200 million year old) rock from Nevada shows the imprint of part of a shoe, even to the extent of revealing the threads which sewed the welt to the sole. Unfortunately for their argument ... of the evidence is hardly to be expected. Nevertheless, Cremo and Thompson could be exceptions to that general rule. Perhaps, as Pierce Flynn, of the Department of Arts and Sciences, California State University, San Marcos, writes in the Foreword to Forbidden Archeology, they might be making an original and important contribution to postmodern scholarly studies ...

... experiences, whether one or many; and its detail contains empirical and linguistic references. Ares does not "bridle" in a horseless culture, nor does one smite a rock to get water in swampland.
