Did any of the respondents to my last message happen to notice my example, as follows, relative to how secular scientists appear to have a paranoia towards non-materialistic research?
Pardon me for asking, but do you have any actual evidence that secular scientists are paranoid about this non-discovery, other than the fact that they're ignoring it?

Certainly something of this magnitude should arouse some serious research. No?
No.
A few chariot wheels at the bottom of a sea as evidence requiring a non-materialist explanation? You're completely off your nut. There's nothing to explain.
