Thanks for the many good thoughts in all these posts. I believe our most important asset is, “I don’t know.” Why else would we need science to seek out the answers?

First the earth was stationary so man had to devise a way for the sun to move across the sky.

Next the earth was flat so man had to devise theories about the other side of the oceans.

When it was suggested that the earth was a sphere and had an orbit arout the sun while spinning at one revolution per day, that was not acceptable to those who had knowledge.

Today we look deep into the universe and see no end. What lies beyond the stars? I don’t know ….. And neither does anyone else. Its best just to accept that we don’t know.

What is time? At this point there is no answer. Why should we rely on opinion when there is no answer?

The truth can be counted on to have at least two different witnesses that testify to its truth. Theory does not so we look for those witnesses.

Politics can be anything from avarice to theory. Few politicians are as serious about the truth as the dedicated scientist but they both are working with the same set of laws. The politician cannot change the laws of nature, and as has been pointed out by these posts, cannot understand why their models do not work. We can work with these laws and get wonderful results or we can work against them and get annihilated. If we and our politicians truly understood these laws we would have a wonderful government.

Global Warming has made a good fulcrum for prying false theories in support of unrelated agendas to satisfy their political ends at our expense. The witnesses to the veracity of their agenda have probably gone off somewhere fishing. Again, I don’t know if this was deliberate or just hijacked by selfish natures.
