All knowledge is a process of building on what came before, going back to the dawn of perception.

Both science and religion tend to see what they want to see.

With monotheism, ideals are not absolutes.

A spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell.

Remember democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures. The function of adopting a monotheistic religion was to validate rule from above. Divine right of kings.

As for science, if your accountant could just write in a figure and call it "Dark Money," would that be good math?

Current cosmology argues intergalactic space expands, but if it took the premises on which this presumption is based, why doesn't the speed of the light crossing it increase proportionally, in order to remain constant?

Instead two metrics are being derived from the speed and spectrum of the same light. Given it is an expanding space and not tired light theory, the speed is still the explicit denominator.

It's not even good math.

When theory becomes doctrine, it cannot be falsified, only patched.

When the premises are flawed, all the 'shut up and calculate' is just GIGO.

Is time the present going past to future, that we experience as mobile organisms with a sequential process of perception, or is it action and the resulting change turning future to past?

As in tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.
