I think you're just trying to go for some kind of 'Aha!' moment, but that's kind of a silly statement to make.

No, my point is that you feel the need to argue the original paradox, whereas I find it pointless. If you want to take a specific example (rather than basic speciation), you cannot observe mankind being created, or dinosaurs. In terms of Carl Everett's quote, it isn't something that I would debate. I concede that I assume there are dinosaurs, I have justification for why I believe there are dinosaurs, however I possess no *knowledge* that dinosaurs existed. To put it in another light, if someone were to ask me, "Are you 100% positive, beyond any doubt whatsoever, that dinosaurs existed?", I would be forced to answer "No". And I'm ok with that.
