I see you missed the point, David.

Try reading the article first as intended and do recognize the subtitle: Our minds treat them the same way.

The essence is hierarchy. Both facts and beliefs sit in top spots and each of us picks what sits in top spot. This is not science, this is not beliefs, this is about structural thinking and choice about hierarchy.

I have no problem with what you are saying, but you are having problems with what I am saying or am trying to say.

My hope is that readers can see that the collective of scientists placed a theory at the foundation of science. That is a structural mistake. Einstein already objected.

Scientists have the specifics organized correctly, we can agree on that. Yet the overall reality is organized by them in an inverted manner.

Let me come up with an example to make it more obvious what I am trying to say. Bear with me; this is about hierarchy in our thinking.

If we say that a dog is an animal, we can all agree. But when we say that an animal is a dog, only those already preoccupied with a dog will agree.

In religion, they say that an animal is a dog.

In science, we say that a dog is an animal.

Yet at the overall level, scientists are confused and they are saying that living beings are animals.

I hope you get it now. It is not about the specific scientific details but about the organization of scientific thought that is inverted at the overall level.

One cannot have a foundation based on a theory, because a theory hangs above the facts. The facts are the specific parts and they are found at the foundation. The theory found at the foundation is saying that the animal is a dog (or that living beings are animals). These very smart scientists incorrectly inverted their thinking at the overall level.

They pulled a balloon inside out and are able to blow it up, everything perfectly fine. Yet they do not recognize that the outside is in and the inside is out.

Thank you for your reply.
