Any of you work in the field of paleontology? If so, what do you do?

No, I'm not going into it, but it does interest me these days.

Maybe because I'm getting older.

place them in the ground, and then dig them up again. They do this in order to fool people into thinking that the world is over 6,000 years old. Because they are the devil.

Now you know.
