"Empirical science is a religious endeavor founded on the belief that God created the universe with basic underlying laws which the anointed, through the revelation of mathematics, can discern. We, as disciples, are not expected to question accepted revelations such as gravity is a property of mass, the solar system's motion results from an historical swirling mass of gas, everything moves in a straight line unless a force acts to alter that motion, matter can neither be created nor destroyed (what does that even mean?), light is not made up of what gives it off ad infinitum, each revelation designed to fix the boundaries of a certain quantity of reality so that it can be incorporated into the limited terms of mathematical equations. Ours is not to understand, our is but to compute and follow." (From Let's Talk Flying Saucers)
"I, of course, believe that we evolved minds that can be used to analyze physical reality in order to come up with a consistent picture of that physical reality. We don't have to come up with a consistent picture of physical reality, but if we want to produce a technology that reflects physical reality, then the only way we can produce that technology is if we use our minds to produce a consistent picture of ourselves, the world we occupy and indeed the universe of which we are a part." (From Let's Talk Flying Saucers)
"Producing a consistent picture of physical reality doesn't have anything to do with laws, revelations, secret procedures, languages or approvals. It involves simply using the mind that is a part of reality to form pictures of reality that are complete, that make sense and that can therefore be used by all of us to create and perfect technology. Mathematics helps us define what the hard edges of reality are, but it can't produce concepts, the understanding we need, nor can it convert our made-up concepts into reality by calling them laws." (From Let's Talk Flying Saucers)
"By claiming that its procedures can create facts, science places itself in the position of God. However, we are dealing with the operation of physical reality, and God and religion have nothing to do with coming up with a consistent picture of its operation. This is difficult to assert in a world where the ruling religion, Empirical Science, denies its own religious nature, a nature that is embodied in its obsession with questions of origins and endings at the expense of the all-important questions dealing with current force and motion." (From Let's Talk Flying Saucers)
We have abdicated our responsibility to ensure that we have as accurate picture of reality as possible in order that our technology reflect reality and provide its benefit to all of humanity. We have a contract with science. We will give scientists our hard earned resources so that they are relieved of the burden of earning a living so they can spend their time coming up with answers to the questions of reality for which we don't have the time to examine. In return, we get crackpot ideas for which there is not a shred of evidence and ample evidence against:
