You obviously have a little bit of knowledge to do with some bodily aliements. Does that make you a surgeon or somebody that everyone would turn to to cure when they have a major illness, no because you don't have all the necessary skills. Just like laypeople don't have all the necessary skills most of the time to conduct an archaeological excavation and evaluate in detail all the material into coherent results.

Tut tut. Nice mis-portrayal Jim. Knowledge of a subject at hand versus proposing a new idea. That new idea must be backed up by evidence before it can be accepted.

A theory isn't a theory without evidence.
