Do you also think that 2+2 = 4 is just ...To Sn SM,<br /><br />Do you also think that 2+2 = 4 is just 'status quo, dogmatic math?<br /><br />Dogmatic Science: gravity, the laws of motion, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, particle physics.<br />Once it's pretty well established, it takes a lot of <i>actual evidence</i> to change it. Of course, you can find loads of cranks who will argue otherwise (see <a href="http://www.crank.net" rel="nofollow">Crank.net</a>).<br /><br />How much of that science was first understood from 'cosmological' studies? A surprising amount.<br /><a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/0710.0671" rel="nofollow">The Cosmos In Your Pocket: How Cosmological Science Became Earth Technology.<br /></a><br /><a href="http://dealingwithcreationisminastronomy.blogspot.com/2009/01/astronomy-as-unprovable-science.html" rel="nofollow">Astronomy as an 'unprovable' science<br /></a><br /><a href="http://dealingwithcreationisminastronomy.blogspot.com/2010/04/real-science-vs-cosmological-and.html" rel="nofollow">"Real" Science vs. "Cosmological" and "Origins" Science</a><br /><a href="http://dealingwithcreationisminastronomy.blogspot.com/2010/05/testing-science-at-leading-edge.html" rel="nofollow">Testing Science at the Leading Edge...<br /></a><br /><a href="http://dealingwithcreationisminastronomy.blogspot.com/2010/08/out-there-astrophysics-impacts.html" rel="nofollow">'Out There' Astrophysics Impacts Technology (again)</a><br /><br />It's easy to say that the 'cosmology of the moment' has 'no experimental or observational foundations', especially if one has not bothered to actually look at the data and observations and the science behind it. Various scammers will try to get people to focus on the 'anomalies' without considering the scale of the anomalies. My favorite analogy for this is using the existence of mountains as evidence that Earth cannot be round.<br /><br />I've summarized some of the cosmological so-called 'anomalies' and their real consequences: <a href="http://dealingwithcreationisminastronomy.blogspot.com/2014/11/yet-another-claimed-stake-through-heart.html" rel="nofollow">Yet Another Claimed Stake-through-the-Heart of Big Bang Cosmology?</a><br /><br />The only cosmologies with worse agreement with experiment and observations are those which today are only promoted by various cranks, such as the <a href="http://dealingwithcreationisminastronomy.blogspot.com/2009/06/scott-rebuttal-ii-peratt-galaxy-model.html" rel="nofollow">Peratt Galaxy Model</a>.<br /><br />Most cranks who oppose these sciences are trapped in wishful thinking, trying to avoid dealing with some hard reality they don't like: the existence, or non-existence, of a diety; hard limitations or other undesirable consequences of technology, etc.W.T."Tom" Bridgmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889134728080314165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361412992308994774.post-65064952243508394822015-06-12T02:56:29.734-04:002015-06-12T02:56:29.734-04:00Interesting list....
Bad Astronomy
Nation...Interesting list....<br /><br /> Bad Astronomy<br /> National Center for Science Education<br /> British Centre for Science Education<br /> National Capital Area Skeptics<br /> Talk Origins website<br /> Talk.Origins (Google Groups)<br /><br />As someone who just stumbled onto your blog and finding<br />and article trying to talk away the electric comet model<br />what surprises me is this list. This is "status quo"<br />dogmatic science...devoid of any experimental basis<br />or fresh ideas...at its worse. Bad Astronomy is a<br />site that made an ass out of itself trying to carry<br />water for the NASA Moon hoax for example. The <br />cosmology of the moment is mathematics and theorizing<br />based on no experimental or observational foundations.<br />You must protect those sacred cows...I know...but it<br />is depressing for layman like us to what this.SS NNNNNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08737576153878936813noreply@blogger.com
