Well, your first link it broken.  Not sure I understand what the second link was supposed to show, but the third link is to "The Turquois. A Study of its History, Mineralogy, Geology, Ethnology, Archeology, Mythology, Folklore, and Technology. Joseph E. Pogue.  I fail to see the relevant of turquoise to the issue we are discussing.  By the way, there certainly are ways to put hypotheses to the test.  I'll leave it as an experiment for you to try to figure out how that is done, Mr. I'm a biochemist.
