Wrong-o!

I am NOT going back to some argument about evolution.

What I AM saying is that much of what we call "science" - in regards to what we believe happened millions of years ago - is "speculation".
OK... I know this isn't a good way to respond in a debate but...

You're wrong, and you have no effing idea what you are talking about. What the Earth was like 2 million years ago isn't a theory, it's an entirely provable fact. Theories aren't even speculation anyway. They are used to unite evidence.
No no, you CANNOT prove what the earth was like 2 million years ago. It's nothing more than an educated guess.
Evidence:
Growth rings in petrified trees.
Differences in sediment layers.
Locations of fossils.
Rate of wear in places like waterfalls and canyons.
Types of fossils.
Plenty more.

All of these things indicate what the world was like 2 million years ago.

For example, the place I live now was under the ocean 2 million years ago.

It's just a matter of collecting and piecing together the evidence.
