Terrific stuff, as usual. Where next? How about a general overview of the whole field, so far, with key points and so on? Science would have been fine if it could only have restricted itself to the realm of the speculative and left ultimate truth well alone. But no such luck. Now we have to be preached to by equation spouting acolytes in lab coats, with no appeal of any kind. At least in the old days of established time honored and widely accepted religions there was a degree of cooperation and dialogue - a discussion. Not any more. Now it is the way of science or no way. For me, science has done immeasurably more harm in the world than good and we would have been far better off without it. I fear things can only get worse.

Thanks David. Your comment - totally correct. No discussion in the Church of Science. It probably will get much worse. Will march through the 11 'proofs' of Copernicanism - including the Foucault pendulum etc. Then have a summary of where 'The Science' took a wrong turn and ended up with both Copernicanism and Einstein whose relativity has severely damaged our perception of reality. It bleeds into all aspects of our existence, both in and outside of 'science'. The massive problem the Copernicans and Relativists face is the horrific (to them) probable reality that the Earth is the barycentre of the Universe. Their own evidence is pointing this way.

I look forward to that. Don't forget the bibliography. I can only imagine how you can possibly come to know so much about the subject but I glad you do. Learning more here than I have in decades. If it could be proved that the earth did not move and the universe revolved how delightful that would be. All my life I have been mentioning - and being more or less scorned for it - that many are, perhaps, a bit too inclined to believe gigantic scientific theories with little or no definition or evidence; and I have tried to keep an open mind without believing that ultimate truth depends on letters after names or clothes or universities attended or various forms of hieroglyphics or badges and no doubt least of all what the majority think. Wouldn't it be a marvelous thing for religion, for faith, and for tradition, if the good old earth could return to the center of the universe?

As you said, this is indeed the issue, "many are, perhaps, a bit too inclined to believe gigantic scientific theories with little or no definition or evidence". And confirming themselves as 'followers of the science'. We saw the same with Rona. Evolution is another nonsense that does not hold up to scrutiny. I was reading about Herder and Joseph Hamann (Enlightenment critics). They were prescient. They foretold that the mechanical 'rationalism' would lead to tyranny. Even the Relativists believe that 95% of the universe is undiscovered (dark matter). This is no different than a religious stating (more correctly) that the immaterial is far greater than the material. We ignore the non-material at our own peril.
