S.E.T.I. has nothing on them --- they didn't need telescopes.
Who was that then? And what scientific work did they do? |

This is an ad-lib question, so I'll have to give an ad-lib answer here, but I'll do my best.
They probably did research in eugenics, but another good theory would be that they may have been trying to deplete the earth of its natural resources (mainly anthracite).
I believe God put some of these resources in the ground to be used during the Millennial Reign, when we are going to rebuild the earth after the catastrophes associated with the events of the Tribulation Period, and will need those resources.

Heh, well, thanks for the answer. Where is the proof for any of this? |

Well, as I'm sure you have been told again and again, there is quite a lot of proof for evolution and nothing in that support what you just wrote so no, that is incorrect. |

I must have missed class that day.
I wasn't aware there's 'proof' of anything beyond math and alcohol?
(I'm sure someone "more qualified" will be glad to back me on this --- right, guys?)

Evidence for evolution, would be a better turn of phrase.
That said, AV, your adlibbing isn't a scientific theory.
So, proof please! 
And btw, don't forget this: Originally Posted by Cabal Off the top of my head:

Both made initial forays into the theory behind acids and conduction respectively. They were considerably wrong, but their work is still lauded for the good points they made and the fact that their work was a step forward in the right direction. |

Leading clearly through the fossil record and genetic history of life? You should send this discovery off to Sweden, they'll give you a Nobel Prize! |
