Well, I got a minor traffic ticket and the judge asked me
the same question:

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATELY?"

I told him I had discovered the world's first scientific
proof of God and published it in a peer reviewed scientific
journal.
They showed a copy of the paper to the Massachusetts
Department of mental Health and the result is that they put
me on SSI disability, assisted housing, full medical
coverage and Food Stamps.
I asked them what they thought of my discovery, and they
told me they didn't know what to think because they were the

You are showing reading comprehension problems. Look at
the scientific comments that I presented and you responded
with bluster and insults. You do not know what a scientific
comment is. Is that why you failed out of graduate school?
It bothers you that I outrank you but that is the way it is.

No doubt. But I must say (as a pretty uninterested bystander) that
this seems to fulfil George's definition of 'mindless heckling' to a
tee. At all events it doesn't tell me anything useful; only that you
don't like what George has to say.
Surely, if a rational response can be made, why not put one together
on a web page, perhaps as an FAQ, and just link to it each time it
seems necessary.
Not that I care either way; my interest is limited to patristics.

George has had his mistakes pointed out for years. He does not
want to learn from them. ...

Well, why not digest this into a web page, and just link to it?

All the best,

Roger Pearse
There is no need to summarize and post a webpage about Hammond's
work. It is so outrageously wrong (that is being kind as it is
not even close enough to be wrong) that no one who has completed
even high school can begin to believe. It is a word salad of
unrelated sentences. You notice that no one has ever agreed
with him on this "theory". Pointing out his mistakes get abuse
and rejection.
If he had facts, he would argue facts. He does not argue facts.
His next step is to try to argue education. That is why it bothers
him that he failed graduate school and I have my PhD in physics.
His next step is to try to bluster and make bald assertions.
When that does not work, he resorts to insults, threats and
capital letters. He has done nothing so he is forced to retreat
to these fallbacks when challenged.

The last time you said this you claimed it was a famous physicist.
So is it the mental health people or a famous PhD? You are not
limiting yourself to facts so you are free to claim whatever
you want. (That does not make it true though).

People read parts of it for humor but it is too silly to read
all the way at one sitting. It gets pretty old seeing continuing
nonsense. We keep hoping that you will remember some of the
science you should have learned in school and realize that
you have proved nothing.

Excellent point. Hammond's CV stops cold when he flunked out of the PhD
program in the 1960s, other than his so-called "publications". He is near
retirement age now. He should have a long illustrious physics related
career under his belt. Where is it?

Off topic ad hominem commentary. the biographical
history of Hammond beyond my CV is irrelevant to this
discussion. Screw stalker.

YOU are the one who insists on posting your CV, usually as an unrelated
response to something (like whether you even know what the scientific
method is). YOU are the one who keeps pestering Doug to post _his_ CV to
the point of spamming this newsgroup, as if you feel the number of degrees
is a "score" and it really bugs you that he "beat" you. Since YOU brought
up your CV, YOU should expect it to be discussed, flaws and all.

If I was a hiring manager, looking for someone with the skills a MS in
Physics would have and your CV crossed my desk, it would be immediately
binned. That has nothing to do with my opinions of SPOG or your alleged
"publications" or anything like that. It has EVERYTHING to do with "What?
NO relevant work experience since leaving college? NONE? There's
something very wrong here!" Work experience is even more important than
a degree as you get older.

Just because one "CASE" happens by one particular method, does NOT mean

One case. Maybe.

Einstein, Gravity=Curvature of spacetime.

You completely "forgot" his infamous solar eclipse experiment where
he explicitly stated that if GR was true, you'd see the image of a star
in a specific location during the eclipse, and if GR was false, you
wouldn't.

Newton, Inverse square law.

Too far before modern science existed. Besides, certainly he made
predictions and observations.

Mendel, binomial inheritance, A+B=A+2AB+B

You forgot about Mendel's famous pea experiments?

Copernicus, Heliocentric System

Too far before modern science existed. He and others did observations
anyway.

Pauling, Chemical orbital bonding

He did experiments.

Lise Meitner, Nuclear fission.

She did experiments.

All of these historic discoveries were HISTORIC
THEORETICAL DISCOVERIES based on and PROVEN the day they
were published; by EXISTING published experimental data.
The same is true of the S.P.O.G.

Wrong.
