Most accuse me of constantly denigrating scientists. Not true. I only denigrate the ones who already know it all and will not listen to anyone who disagrees with them. Even from among their own colleagues. They have a habit of, whenever something new is discovered, immediately forming their supposition to fit their previous suppositions. We are entering another phase that is going to tax their imaginations to find a way to completely destroy the idea or to work it into their preconceived ideas. It will be interesting to watch. These know-it-all's are the ones who wield the biggest stick. So any legitimate scientist should lay back and see what they determine is the best assumption in this new discovery. Otherwise they will blackball them.
Evidence reinforcing my accusation above is exhibited in the case of the publishing of the book and documentary film of
The Privileged Planet written by Guillermo Gonzalez (PhD in Astronomy) and Jay W. Richards (PhD in philosophy/theology) in 2004. Although the book did not deny any of the previously accepted assumptions of noted scientists, the very thought of this planet being privileged set off a scientific attack. Gonzalez was denied tenure at the Iowa State University for his connection with it and both men were immediately attacked in the scientific community.
Today, an article in SciTech by Clara Moskowitz entitled "Scientists: Earth May Exist in Giant Cosmic Bubble" tells of what scientists have discovered, or think they have, that the earth may surely exist in a special situation not heretofore realized. I will not attempt to explain the article but rather, will give you a link to it where you can read for yourself.

"One problem with the void idea, though, is that it negates a principle that has reigned in astronomy for more than 450 years: namely, that our place in the universe isn't special."
You see, those scientists who try so hard to dismiss any evidence of any intelligence behind our existence, simply refuse to accept or even listen to anything one might mention to the contrary. That is why schools are not allowed to teach the evidence which is abundant that there is assuredly intelligent design in our universe, our galaxy, or earth and it's location, life, diversity of life, superiority of man over all other life, and many other marvelous things. Here is a couple of quotes from some of them:
"Much evidence can be advanced in favour of the theory of evolution from biology, biogeography and paleontology, but I still think that to the unprejudiced, the fossil record of plants is in favour of special creation. Can you imagine how an orchid, a duckweed, and a palm have come from the same ancestry, and have we any evidence for this assumption? The evolutionist must be prepared with an answer, but I think that most would break down before an inquisition." (E.J.H. Corner, Prof of Botany, Cambridge University, England. Evolution in Contemporary Botanical Thought, Quadrangle Books, p. 97)
"The firm step toward explaining the appearance of living things had been taken. The elementary organic constituents required for the chas succeeded. There are, in fact, many thresholds to be crossed. Life is based upon two mutually interactive systems, one of which makes provision for growth and the other for reproduction. The systems are also interdependent, and neither may exist without the other. Which was formed first?
The answer that they were formed simultaneously is too simple to be acceptable. The problem of how the first living organism was formed has still to be solved." (Giuseppe Minelli, Professor of Comparative Anatomy, University of Bologna, Italy, "The Evolution of Life: The History of Life on Earth," [1985], Facts on File: New York NY, 1986, p.5)
It is most unlikely that this "new" discovery will influence any of the "Know-it-alls" to give second thought to any intelligent design. They could resolve so very many unanswered questions if they would only open their minds. They have applied suppositions to astronomical activities which are, in them selves suppositions. This new bubble existence may resolve some of them. They
think that the universe is rapidly expanding. And because they
think that, they
think there was a massive eruption of a singularity which is thought to have been the size of a needle point (or some say as big as a dime) which formed all of this matter and gases and flung them trillions of miles away in 13.5 billion years. And, because they
think that, they
think there is some "dark energy" still unrevealed to them, which is pushing them away at an ever increasing speed. And they call us who believe in an Almighty Spirit God, stupid and superstitious.
And with all the unknowns, black holes, dark matter, dark energy, to further confuse the confused, they have now discovered patches of unidentified matter which are all moving at a very high rate of speed, all in the same direction. Read this taken from another article by the same author in SciTech as the one above.
"(These) Patches of matter in the universe seem to be moving at very high speeds and in a uniform direction that can't be explained by any of the known gravitational forces in the observable universe. Astronomers are calling the phenomenon "dark flow." The stuff that's pulling this matter must be outside the observable universe, researchers conclude."
Much of "the
known gravitational forces of the observable universe" are also
unknowns. My own prognosis is that they may all wind up pulling their hair out (if indeed they have any), beating their head against a wall and singing, "nya, nya, ne, nya, nya"
All would be much better if they concentrated their unquestioned brilliance toward those things they are good at, discovering causes for illnesses, remedies for them, and so on, rather than trying to prove the unprovable, and just accept the obvious.
