Evolutionary "Logic"- Archaeology is a Science of "Giving Up"
Yessiree, if you engage in any form of design detection, be it as an archaeologist, forensic scientist, detective, fire investigator, insurance investigator (looking for fraud), all you are doing by "detecting" design is you are giving up.
The very second you think you have determined a homicide has occurred you have given up trying to find the natural cause of death.
The very second archaeologists determined that Stonehenge was an artifact they gave up trying to figure out how nature, operating freely, put it together.
It is now up to us to get rid of those quitters.
If any of that sounds stupid to you there is a reason for that. It is stupid but it is also evolutionary "logic". That is it is the "logic" used by evolutionists to try to discredit Intelligent Design by saying determining design is tantamount to giving up.
In reality nothing could be further from the truth.
In fact reality demonstrates that once design is detected the real work just gets started. But that is evolutionary "logic" for you. Ignore reality and defend your position at all costs.

One has given up when they cease to look further. That doesn't seem to fit in the case of Archaeology, but instead seems to be more relevant in Intelligent Design. As in all the fields of science one doesn't claim to have found "the" answer, but instead strives to come closer to attaining the answer. All answers should lead one to ask even more questions. Only those who claim to have "the" answer have truly given up.

So when evos say that whales evolved from land animals but give up on finding whether or not such a transformation is even possible, they are giving up.

Only if you are ID ignorant.
Ya see z999, ID is about the detection AND understanding of the design.
To understand the design one must study it. Ya know just like archaeologists do.

Right. That is why we are force-feeding our kids that Common Descent is real before we even know whether of not any amount of genetic change can account for the changes required.
All answers should lead one to ask even more questions.
And that is the case with ID. Once design is determined all kinds of new questions arise.
Only those who claim to have "the" answer have truly given up.
And that would be the evos. They already know we evolved from some ape-like ancestor. Yet no one even knows if such a transformation is even possible.

July 1966- Wistar Institute- a scientific research center on the campus of the Univ. of Pennsylvania in Phillie-
In response to the mathematical argument agaisnt the evolution of the eye Harvard biologist Ernst Mayr responded:
"Somehow or other by adjusting these figures we will come out all right. We are comforted by the fact that evolution has occurred."
