Luckily, my PhD thesis didn't include carrots or asses. In any case I might have called them mules if I had. It did reference The Principia though. For the benefit of your detractors, I will state that in addressing forces, (my research was in mechanical vibration) I never once had to mention that Newton taught himself Hebrew in order to find the ark of the covenant. Neither was it relevant to point out his general pious approach to life nor indeed his work at The Royal Mint nor his political ambitions.

You see, you can be delusional at a fundamental level and still work out how the universe ticks. Even Einstein had issues with probability.....   Importantly he didn't deny Heisenberg, he merely hoped there would be a more acceptable inference.

Then apologised when he saw how no other explanation of quantum mechanics could suffice.



Jack. Instead of questioning Pete's timeline, which he can wriggle out of.. Try asking how, if God is good, parasitical creatures that inject their young into other creatures etc to feed on them works into the equation. If that is intelligent design, it takes a very sick mind to design it. Not to mention the worms that get into the eyes of children and blinds them......
