It is not clear to me, who wrote what here, and I don't seem to be able to find the original post, by Paul Deema, so I reply to this one. Regner. Dear Regner, I started it, and I did not accuse anyone of deceit, except those of science who teach as FACT what is only a theory, without saying so. That is deceit. And this thread had nothing to do with your person, or the project you are involved with here. I am, along with Faraday and many others, among those who engineer the artifacts of science which you use and admire. It is not the theoretical scientist who theorises, but the engineers like myself who look at the theories and apply them to a purpose, not prove them as a fact. And even then, that only proves the application not the theory. I was basically trained on three manuals.. Electrical Theory. Applied Electricity. and Electrical Work. The first was always changeable, and never accepted as fact. Electricity flowed from positive. Then it changed from negative to positive. Today they are not sure anything flows. But that does not change the fact that an engineered electrical motor works. whilst the theorist still has no certainty. Theory is never proven by application. It is only supported. Till now I had given you every respect for integrity and honesty in science. Till now I had no reason to do otherwise. I will only quote one item out of your tirade below which seems to indicate the truth of my original claim of dishonesty in science from the engineers perspective. That is that even you here insist on calling a theoretical opinion as a factual truth. You claimed, "The Universe isn't more than about 14 billion years old, and the Solar system is about 4.6 billion years old." WHO SAYS SO? You cannot prove such an outlandish claim. You continued, "That's of course according to this conspiracy of infidel scientists who also brought you the the computer and the internet and weather forecasts and satellite television and international phonecalls and, ... WHO SAYS SO. I do not. Engineers sorted and sifted the real useful applications..and made the artifacts, not the scientists. Are you saying Marconi or Tesla or Edison or Faraday needed such information as "the world is 6 billion years old," as a base for their engineered practical innovations in radio and science. But you are guilty here of the charge I made about the NGO TV series. That is of calling something that is no more than an opinion, not even a valid theory...a factual truth. Even if it was a valid theory, it is still deceit to teach it to children as though it were factual. Especially is it morally wrong to tell them they definitely descended from apes. Philip Madsen.. but I forgive you if you wrote all this in your happy hour.. Whats your favourite beer.

I believe some respect, humility and courtesy would be well placed.
