48. Nope, just you that's lying.
You responded to:

10. Ever read a scientific paper?

They include a list of details about how experiments are performed so that others can repeat them.

If it's not reproducible, then it doesn't get published.

You can't repeat history, no. But it's not like anybody was sitting around and collecting data during the ice age. They went out and gathered data themselves. And people are welcome to repeat that.



I pointed out that if one wants to reproduce that paper, they can go out and take their own cores or whatever it took to produce THAT PAPER. You are just obfuscating by trying to claim that one has to repeat all studies ever conducted on the subject. It doesn't. I said nothing about testing a theory. This is about repeating the work in one scientific paper. The vast majority of scientific publications provide only a small fraction of the data used to prove or disprove a theory. If you were really a scientist as you claim, you would know that.
