I knew that ... I just never told anyone.

“Pure reasoning” in science was what Galileo overthrew. The sad part was that his straw man was NOT the only other theory, and that his work did NOT conform to observations. Essentially, he was told he was wrong, so came up with an even less plausible theory, and proved that was wrong. He was correctly informed that his views could not account for the absence of a parallax, and chose to ignore that problem.

Ironically, the answer had been promoted as Catholic doctrine by Cardinal Nicolas di Cusa who posited
1. that the universe is immense beyond the power of imagination;
2. being so immense, any point in space appears to be at the center of the universe;
3. the tiny points of light were possibly similar to the sun, but several orders of magnitude brighter than the Sun;
4. everything in the universe is moving, roughly in circles, but there are no perfect circles in space.

All this, he achieved with “pure reason,” based on his theology, not observations.

Einstein had it right when he stated “No problem is solved at the level of consciousness at which it was created!”

The answer really is consciousness and its various operating frequencies. The higher the frequency, the greater control consciousness has over physical matter. Problem is, people don’t recognize this higher consciousness referred to as God and prefer to keep their head in the sand.

I’ve often heard scientists say that materialistic reductionism does not work. That is very true if you do not start with the “Whole!” It really is a lot simpler than the scientists try to make it.

Not like a violin.....more like the bow used to play the violin. The bow is made up of hair from a horse’s tail. And everyone knows that a horse’s tail covers a horse’s ass and all this theorizing covers a lot of horses asses.
