Does anyone get the idea that the people
who quote physics chapter and verse,
and personally attack physics heretics,
rather than address the issues raised,
have the same mindset as the people who quote:
"John 3/16"?

Did you want to derive it from the ground up instead, or what?


It seems to me that many people need a religion
in order to cope with life, and to feel adequate..

Many do. I'm not sure if Mr. Wormley is one of them, though. :-)

Work on your reading comprehension,
read a good sample of his posts,
and you'll be sure.

As can be seen by his posts,
he is conditioned to parrot conventional
physics wisdom, and to attack the heretics,
who dare suggest that it may not be the ultimate truth.

He reacts with dogma, insults and
references that are useless or demean the heretic,
rather than address posts with factual data.

He fantacises himself as some kind of
"Horatio at the gate"
defending physics from heretics.

That would be okay, if he used facts,
rather than insults, useless URLs,
and references to "John 3/16".
(Dogma rather than facts.)
