It's interesting how this never goes away....
The interesting thing about this to me is how SCIENCE can't really ever conclude anything in absolut finality. No matter what tests are done, they will always be done by people, and people can make mistakes. The test results will aways be open to "interpretation" and different people will come to different conclusions given the same data.
This proves my contention that SCIENCE can never settle a debate. There is no such thing as a SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSION. Science is a tool used by many people to reach their own conclusion, but any conclusion is by definition a subjective opinion of the person making the conclusion, therefore it can't be considered an "objective" conclusion.
And that's the problem with Science. It can never go the final step. It can never reach a conclusion independent of science-ISTS or the people using science.
Whether it's the Shroud or Turin, Global Warming, Evolution, or Abortion, SCIENCE is powerless to solve the issue.

Good point.
Good Science can usually convince the majority of people out there of something, but there are always skeptics, and of course there is always bad Science.
