So your contention is that science is restricted to only studying phenomena that are happing right now.

Science can only draw reliable conclusions about what is happening right now, because there is no other way to follow the Scientific Method. The only way to perform repeated experiments is with phenomenon that we can observe in the present.

In fact, the concept of studying something other than in the present is absurd. You can only look at what exists now. Unless you have a time machine, you cannot observe anything other than the present.

Oh boy. There goes Geology, Cosmology, Archeology, and a lot of other entire fields of study.

No, not at all. Geology is the study of what is in the ground. You cannot leap to conclusions about what happened in the past. You can study what is there know.

Your wish that you could know the past does not mean you can know it.

But as I said before, we can see the tectonic plates moving NOW. That is not the past. We can see magma flows happening NOW.

Same with cosmology. There are many things we can observe now.

However, the rest is pure bulls**t.

You can fantasize all sorts of things. But you are indulging in pure fantasy.

Sorry, somewhere you’ve picked up a very contorted idea of the scientific method. As I said, you should leave this topic for someone else.
