Scientific Proof Is A Myth

You’ve heard of our greatest scientific theories: the theory of evolution, the Big Bang theory, the theory of gravity. You’ve also heard of the concept of a proof, and the claims that certain pieces of evidence prove the validities of these theories. Fossils, genetic inheritance, and DNA prove the theory of evolution. The Hubble expansion of the Universe, the evolution of stars, galaxies, and heavy elements, and the existence of the cosmic microwave background prove the Big Bang theory. And falling objects, GPS clocks, planetary motion, and the deflection of starlight prove the theory of gravity.

Except that’s a complete lie...when it comes to science, proving anything is an impossibility.

Reality is a complicated place. All we have to guide us, from an empirical point of view, are the quantities we can measure and observe. Even at that, those quantities are only as good as the tools and equipment we use to make those observations and measurements…

In order to come up with a model capable of predicting what will happen under a variety of conditions, we need to understand a few things.

1. What we’re capable of measuring, and to what precision.
2. What’s been measured thus far, under specific initial conditions.
3. What laws hold for these phenomena, i.e., what observed relationships exist between specific quantities.
4. And what the limits are for the things we presently know.

If you understand these things, you have the right ingredients to formulate a scientific theory [bu]…nothing in science can ever truly be proven.

Science requires a belief that there are constants of nature – invariable, unchanging conditions and measurements – used in scientific investigation, without which its models, theories, predictions fundamental to its laws of physic  are meaningless.

One of the simplest but most powerful laws of physics is E = mc². As Einstein himself put it: “mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing.”

This is called, logically, the Theory of Relativity.

But just as flour and milk just sit there in the kitchen until acted upon by stirring and pouring and applying heat energy and flipping to make pancakes, and possible forgotten by a distracted cook until they burn away to ashes, no conversion from energy to mass or mass to energy can happen anywhere in the universe until acted upon by a Force.

This force, scientifically described as “c” for “constant, never-changing”, is postulated to be the speed of light. The speed of light is considered the absolute upper limit of velocity in the universe at which conventional matter or energy can travel through space. Within the laws of nature, if mass were ever to reach the speed of light it would effectively have to have acquired an infinite mass.

Multiplying nature’s absolute upper limit’s numerical value of  299,792,458 metres per second in Einstein’s equation.by itself (c²) mathematically expresses the quality of infinity of the force that exists and acts outside the confines of the laws of nature.

And that is exactly how the Hebrew Bible defines the Creator God.

“And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?” (Exodus 3:13)

To understand Moses’ question, and therefore God’s answer, we must place it in context of the religious beliefs of the ancient nations, not only the Hebrews, but the mixed multitude from Egypt’s empire who had thrown in their destiny with this Hebrew God of gods after their own multitude of gods had proven unable to counter the Hebrew God’s plagues. The “name” of their many gods identified their power in life or death – god of fertility, god of war, etc.

“And God said unto Moses, I Am / Being היה / hayah That / אֲשֶׁר aser  I Am / Being היה /hayah.” (Exodus 3:14)

Notice that God multiplies himself by himself, expressing this God’s “name” / attribute / power exactly as Einstein as c²⁼e/m – Infinity containing all Energy and Mass preceding in order to create the universe, not trapped in an ever-changing river of time, but always Being.

The name / power of the Hebrew God is the verb used in Genesis 1 stated multiple times in the past, present and future to recount an act of creation.

There’s a lot we don’t know about our universe — in fact, 95% of it remains a mystery to us. 

In my following simplified explanation of what the world’s greatest geniuses are still investigating I don’t claim to be completely accurate, only to give an idea of some of what is being explored in Physics –  the science that deals with the structure of matter, the nature of energy, and the forces controlling them. 

To be “quantized” means to be consistently measurable.

“A quantum (plural: quanta) is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction”.

Defining a physical entity in terms of its interaction seems odd, but that’s because extremely small objects simultaneously have the characteristics of both 1) particles of mass and 2) transfer of energy / waves within a discrete area, exactly like waves of water in the ocean.

Physicists call this the “wave / energy -particle / mass duality.”

Think of how macroscopic water molecules are both 1) mass which lies at rest at the seashore in which children can safely play, and also 2) as the waves of energy, which as a tsunami can wreak US$10b of damages and over 200,000 deaths.

A tiny quantum wave is measured just like a massive ocean wave, which, logically, means it must be consistently constrained, or forced together, within 1) a time frame of measurement, and in a system – where the units are forced together in a bound state – like the ocean’s surrounding wind overhead, floor beneath, and the dry land all around.

From the Department of Health and Social Behavior, Harvard School of Public Health: intimate relations exist between mathematics and material reality, that counting and categorizing are the currency of durable knowledge, and that empirical study of variegated humanity…can uncover universal truths.

Incidence and prevalence are measures used to describe patterns in communities.

Incidence measures the number of new persons experiencing a condition within a population, during a given period of time.

Prevalence measures the total number of people within the total population experiencing a condition during a given period of time.

From a research perspective, the place to start investigating the reality of a religious belief is the statistical evidence of

• high incidence  – consistently high numbers of new believers over time
• and high prevalence – consistently high numbers of adherents over time.

Religion has been a factor of the human experience since pre-historic to modern times. There is no culture recorded in human history which has not practiced some form of religion. This fact alone lends credibility to believing in religion.

Science employs a particular vocabulary for describing how ideas are proposed, tested, and supported or disproven.

A theory is a principle that has been substantiated by data through rigorous experimentation and control, but is not scientifically considered to have been proven to be truth.

A hypothesis is an assumption, something proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true.

In the scientific method, the hypothesis is constructed before any applicable research has been done, apart from a basic background review. You ask a question, read up on what has been studied before, and then form a hypothesis.

Evolution has been aggressively advertised as scientific truth in opposition to religious dogma since its inception in the 19th century. But when we review the basis to the claims of Evolution we find it absolutely cannot claim to be even a hypothesis.

The Bone Wars, also known as the Great Dinosaur Rush,^[1] was a period of intense and ruthlessly competitive fossil hunting…marked by a heated rivalry between Edward Drinker Cope (of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia) and Othniel Charles Marsh (of the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale). Each of the two paleontologists used underhanded methods to try to outdo the other in the field, resorting to bribery, theft, and the destruction of bones. Each scientist also sought to ruin his rival’s reputation and cut off his funding, using attacks in scientific publications…

The paleontologists had a habit of making hasty telegrams eastward describing their finds, only publishing fuller accounts after returning from trips. Among the new specimens described by the men were Uintatherium,  Loxolophodon, Eobasileus, Dinoceras, and Tinoceras. The problem was that many of these finds were not uniquely different from each other…

The Bone Wars of the mid-1800s resulted in a lot of dubious species

From The Smithsonian Institute: While people used to think that there was a single line of human species, with one evolving after the other…we now know this is not the case.

Then why is Evolution still being presented – and accepted – as a known single line of precursor species evolving into modern humans?

Fossil evidence for the human species begins with the human species.

The early fossils are not considered ancestors to Homo sapiens but are important to the study of the lineage. After the beginning of the Holocene, [consistent with the 6th day of creation] all fossils are Homo sapiens (anatomically modern humans).
