The laws of nature were fixed by "Science", until the discovery of relativity and quanta made them change their concepts. Now they are fixed again to include relativity and quanta, until another new "measurable" discovery makes them do otherwise.Ken wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2024 12:36 pm But simply because he invents some "religion of science" and invents his 10 dogmas to go along with it doesn't make it true. And most of those so-called dogmas don't actually exist. Take for example, #3 "the laws of nature are fixed". In point of fact, Newtonian Physics with all of its laws has been supplanted by quantum mechanics at the micro level and by relativity. So what we think are scientific laws are, in fact, subject to change.
And most of the rest of these dogmas are simply statements by Sheldrake that don't have any bearing in the ordinary pursuit of science.
These discoveries of the nature of sub atomic particles, or that light can bend around a star, should open our eyes that Nature is not fixed. But the dogmas of "Modern Science" is that if a clearly observable phenomena cannot be measured, then it does not exist. Relativity and quanta could be measured, so they invented a theory to reflect those measurements, even if they don't understand it.
But for any observable phenomena that cannot be measured, their dogma is that it does not exist.
One of the dogmas of science is that man does not have a soul, and there is no life after death. Yet many "Near Death Experiences" of the same nature have been experienced by many people, such as moving through a tunnel towards a light.
Here is a painting by Bosch about death from around 1500 AD, so apparently these identical Near Death Experiences have been evident for centuries:
"Modern Science" discredits any idea that there is an afterlife because "Modern Science" is a religion, and claims it does not accept anything that is not material or can be measured and duplicated in the laboratory.
Yet, "Modern Science" cannot duplicate the supposed "Theory of Evolution" in the laboratory, but clings to it because it provides a foundation for believing that mankind is just another animal and has no soul or purpose in this life.
And this "evolutionary" idea that two monkeys with 48 chromosomes can give birth to two humans, a male and a female, with 46 chromosomes, in the same place and same time, so that these two humans with 46 chromosomes can mate (as they cannot mate with the other monkeys with 48 chromosomes), this is the most ridiculous concept "Modern Science" has ever foisted on humanity. It is a sheer "Act of Faith" to even consider such clap trap, much less teach it as a fact. But they do. And if you teach otherwise, you are a heretic to their religion.
And what "Modern Science" cannot explain, it ignores or discredits. It cannot explain how the DNA code is read to form the bones and organs in the blastocyst.
Another thing it cannot explain is how homing pigeons can find their way back home. "Modern Science" tell us it is "magnetoreception" or some ability of the pigeon to use the Earth's magnetic field is the way it finds its way home.
Yet, if you or I were blindfolded, taken 300 miles away from home and given a compass, without landmarks or a map we would never find our way home, or know the direction to travel. A compass does nothing if you don't know where you are,. or what direction you need to go, in relation to your destination. Yet, "Modern Science" tells us with a "straight face" that the homing pigeons are reading the earth's magnetic field, and that is how it works. What baloney!
What is interesting is that the "English Carrier Pigeon" historically had this same homing instinct, yet lost it after it was bred by man for domestication. The modern homing pigeons have some of this "English Carrier Pigeon" blood, but have retained their abilities too.

Is the homing instinct in these pigeons in their DNA that was bred out of the English Carrier Pigeon, or is the homing instinct a shared experience that the homing pigeons have, that is perpetuated by using this power? Are instincts shared?
Like the "industrialized" chickens that will no long "brood" or sit on their nests to hatch their young, apparently the homing pigeon can lose its ability to find its way home due to the "assistance" of man. Did man destroy the DNA, or the pattern?
Regardless, "Modern Science" has absolutely no answer for how a homing pigeon can find its way back to its own nest, other than some ridiculous idea that the bird is using an internal compass. I can understand using this theory of following the earth's magnetism to explain migrating south for the winter, but not for the bird finding its own single nest in the heart of London.
Dr. Sheldrake has some other ideas that I cannot validate. One is that animals can detect earthquakes, and know when their master is on the way home. It would be interesting to see some blind studies on these ideas, but I doubt that "Modern Science" would ever fund such a study, and if someone else did, they would discredit the results.
We are still living in the age of Ignaz Semmelweis. I am glad doctors wash their hands after surgery now.
