<HTML>Hi Martin
I have a very superfical understanding of Feyerabend's views on science - but I think I see what you're saying. That would be a reasonable position - but he does seem to weight geology as 'hard-nosed' because it is more 'scientific' which would presuppose this underlying assumption that science is best? Or am I showing my ignorance of Feyerabends's views? ~lol~ (vaguely science is only one method of discovering knowledge amongst many, and cannot be easily be shown to be superior? Do I have the right guy?)
This talk of relative 'hardness' is interesting me because it seems to be the way that some people are deciding this debate. It seems to be a case that geology is perceived as being more 'scientific' a way to decide the age of the Sphinx that the methods of archaeology. See Ishmaels post below The Geology of the Sun. I know this has been discussed before, but that post just reminded me of it. :-) You're right though - it is rhetorical.
Thanks
