Quote:
Quote by: Mozart1220  Galileo PROVED that the planets went around the Sun by OBSERVING that Venus and Mercury had PHASES, but the other three planets he could see did not. He built a model and OBSERVED the same thing, PROVING that not only must the bodies be circling a central light source, but that the Earth "his relative position" was third in line.
Now we have PROVEN Galileo right through the use of probes and sattelites, and by astronauts actually going into space.
If you don't like what science "proves" fine, but don't insult those who accept it for what it is.

No, sweetie. You're still wrong. And even if you shout, stamp your feet, and hold your breath, it isn't going to change. I've spent too many years studying science, teaching science, and doing science not to know what it is and how it works.
By the way, Kelvin proved that the earth could be no more than 4 million years old. That's TRUTH? Are more recent scientists misguided? Apparently they don't know the TRUTH.
By the way, even Wikipedia says, "Science does not and can not produce absolute and unquestionable truth. Rather, science tests some aspect of the world and attempts to provide a precise, unequivocal framework to explain it."

The last book has an excellent explanation of science, and then contrasts it to pseudoscience. It is always better to learn what you are talking about before you speak.
