If anybody cares, Quantum Theory has actually proved some important things. As I explained, QT has experimentally proved that consciousness collapses the wave function. It's funny that modern-day skepticism has gone so far overboard that it now dismisses science. I argued this with an atheist not long ago. He said "It's just quantum mystical gobbledegook." Really? Now the skeptics think they know science better than the guys who actually do it (yes, most professional skeptics don't know dick about science).

Another thing that QT has proven is the EPR Paradox. Einstein dismissed QT based on this paradox because it would show that something was traveling faster than the speed of light once two particles that were once in contact then separate. Alain Aspect experimentally proved the QT was correct and that something DOES travel faster than the speed of light. The following website has some scientific papers in pdf that will explain. It's complicated. But here's the synopsis of what it says about Aspect:

"The last was the paper written in 1982 by Alain Aspect and two others. It is known as Aspect. This is the paper that experimentally answered the original challenge [of the EPR Paradox] in a definitive manner. The actual results confirmed the statistical predictions of Quantum Mechanics - as formulated in the late 1920's - and ruled out Einstein's view of a more complete specification of reality. To paraphrase, a particle falling in the woods does NOT make a sound if there is no one to hear it. Strange - but true!"

If you're going to argue this stuff, please familiarize yourself with it first. To tell me QT has proven nothing is either so ignorant, arrogant or both as to beggar belief. I'm truly astonished that someone would say that.
