    I really, really don't see a "solution" to this situation, at least not in my lifetime.

    Yep. Thinking of comparable situations (and will never be exactly the same situation by any means, but just to give an idea of timeframes) in the Jim Crow south which took over 80 years to start to fall apart, and Rhodesia where the <10% white minority ruled for almost 15 years after declaring independence from Britain.

    The dinosaurs could have had a civilization on the scale of our own, and besides radioactive records, there would be basically no way for us to know it ever existed. So...since the rise of multicellular life on Earth, we could have had 20 or 100 steam-age civilizations and we'd never know. Things just erode and disappear.

    Hell the Greeks nearly discovered steam power back in the age around so-crates. Imagine where we’d be if they cracked that noodle

    With laughably bad apologetics, of course. Mormons used to claim that all Native Americans were descendants of the characters  in the Book of Mormon. But the goalposts keep shifting and now it's that the characters of the Book of Mormon are "among" some of the ancestors of some Native Americans. We just haven't found their specific descendants yet.

    That’s dumb. The play only came out 11 years ago!
