I would vote with the vast majority of scientists on this one. As to Galileo's, I have read that several times!Ken Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02049713123559138421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812431336777691886.post-40283524353364147852014-10-07T20:15:00.998-04:002014-10-07T20:15:00.998-04:00Well, Ken, are you going to read the book and tell...Well, Ken, are you going to read the book and tell us if there any Einstein like possibilities for understanding contained therein?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812431336777691886.post-1105802195126955562014-10-06T19:27:26.912-04:002014-10-06T19:27:26.912-04:00Reply to Anonymous:

That is what it will take for someone, maybe you, to think of something more innovative.<br /><br />I like to read about the tumult of the physics world in Einsteins early career, when just such issues were astir. Even in Darwin's time, discoveries in geology and biogeography were raising questions that traditional Linnaean and biblical explanations couldn't really handle.Ken Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02049713123559138421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812431336777691886.post-15951358814585428602014-10-06T15:34:00.467-04:002014-10-06T15:34:00.467-04:00Thank you for keeping up the harping, and using a ...Thank you for keeping up the harping, and using a variety of different angles in doing so. I read almost everything on the blog, and try to think the content through. Gradually, I feel it sinking in, which has made me ask hard, deep questions about my research program in genomics. I attack different types of problems now, with the explicit aim to find causality, but have little enlightenment to offer others so far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
