mlo: Well, you were wrong right off the bat.
Not sure whether you meant that Einstein's was not subject to scientific scrutiny OR that the other could be subject to scientific scrutiny . But I can only answer the first:
1 Classical tests 1.1 Perihelion precession of Mercury 1.2 Deflection of light by the Sun 1.3 Gravitational redshift of light 1.4 Tests of special relativitySee the link for details and additional "Modern tests," "Strong field tests" & "Cosmological tests"
Now if only today's "scientists" would subject their great scientific theories - man made climate change to name one - to even a fraction of the testing standard of Einstein's.
OK, I can see how you'd read it that way. But because I'm not an idiot, I did not mean relativity wasn't subject to scientific scrutiny. I meant the author was wrong because they thought evolution wasn't.
