Critics do.

Define explanation...? You mean you have an opinion based on conjecture....?

Yes, Patrick, a conjecture based on the evidence.

Is your opinion that all this missing material is due to incompetence? Then say so. Don't ask for a definition of "explanation." Surely you already know what the word means.

It's amusing that in many other cases you do not hesitate to speculate, but here you demand a definition before you do. Why is that?

Interestingly, you still can't get a believer to define the term "credible".

For the longest time, we were unable to get a believer to define "evidence" - but Henry finally came through and defined the term "evidence".
