... how do you make that leap?

The only certainty I see on this newsgroup is that the AAH is, in fact,
a religion, that is completely wrong and that it's proponents are
misguided.

I don't see much doubt coming from the self-style scientists here that
are on the aquasceptic side of the fence.

The only faith I see here is in the strange notion that humans are so
special we don't need standard biological explanations for basic
observations like we can swim better than our nearest relatives.
