Divine/Holy are how powerful people prevent others from questioning things. I didn't mention Divine or Holy, just theology.
The core difference between Science and Theology is how they deal with statements of "truth" without evidence.
Theology starts with "it's true because I said so"
Science starts with "it's true because I can demonstrate it"
That humans were complex in the past is a good hypothesis. It needs evidence before it can be accepted as fact, or even necessarily expect respect from others. The lack of recent skull changes would seem to be a good start.
If someone believes the hypothesis to be true, they will go explore and find evidence to back their claims. If there was a complex society in the English Channel, it's likely well preserved, just waiting to be found!
God speaks to someone. That someone says "It's true because God told me so."
I have read religious works, I'm not cut off from them. It's impossible to be cut off from theology in the USA. However, they all start with "it is true because I (the author) say so".
