Thank god for omniscient authority figures.
...ESPECIALLY the ones that teach us that what they have determined to be the truth IS the truth...and anybody the ventures to suggest they may be wrong deserves to be insulted & belittled.
I am especially thankful for the those that are sure if they 'discredit' something (via their own individual reasoning or via their interpretation of 'scientific facts'), then any disagreement is an attack upon them personally...hence justification for more disrespectful insults & accusations. :::sarcasm off:::
For consideration -
"When science cannot be questioned, it is not science anymore: it is religion."--Tony Brown
I praise and applaud every poster that is willing to see further than the ego-based limits of 'scientific proof & paradigms' and look to empirical evidence and their own experiences to find the truth.
Einstein was quite comfortable noting that his Theory of Relativity would eventually be found to contain flaws or be entirely disproven. The great minds of science have always realized that science IS a paradigm and only as 'true' as what the current level of knowledge permits. And that knowledge paradigm (especially regarding the human body) is an extremely limiting box that is full of gaping holes. The box is full of holes, as even the most advanced humans are not yet able to identify and explain myriads of various actions and abilities of the liver, brain, microbiota & kidneys and/or the effects of various energy & vibrational frequencies on the body - let alone the synergy & harmony of it all. It is limited by what ego-driven, locked minds are willing to examine with their own level of knowedge, and how they choose to use that limited bit of knowledge to determine the "truth".
"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance. That principle is condemnation without investigation." Herbert Spenser
Sadly (and frustratingly) there are some on CZ that imagine because they have 'investigated whatever' (having investigated through the darkened & cloudy glasses of today's current scientific paradigms and their/it's limited box full of gaping holes), that they have somehow established the truth.
The great minds of science throughout history would never view them as their colleagues or counterparts, and would likely find them laughable, pitiable and insignificant....if it weren't that their roaring voices continue to negatively impact the praiseworthy & admirable efforts of the true seekers & learners of the world.
Trust those who seek the truth; doubt those who claim to have found it.
