Science Flaws


I found mention of an interesting book today entitled The Final Theory. The website for the book offers an interesting list of "science flaws".

These days I'm not too concerned with intellectual debate on subjects as it is merely a diversion from life, and prone to pointless arguments between people with unchangeable beliefs or preaching to the converted. For me, the important thing in the article is once again the challenge to what are becoming the belief structures sold to us by the orthodoxy as "scientific knowledge" and although spoken of as "theories" it is clear it is often dogma, as to disagree and offer an alternative earns one the label of heretic or crackpot.

It is for me, once again, a reminder of the importance of the experience, over and above any intellectualisation or analysis, and the need for a holistic view of things to bring about a true paradigm shift away from the scientific religion which plagues us.

I need to be clear, I am not suggesting that science is totally irrelevant. Rather that aspects of science are unimportant diversions, or become accepted and reinforced just the same as any dogmatic religion. There is also far too much power over others by individuals with letters beside their name, who are filled with their own self importance and a belief that they know best. Perhaps they do know best - for themselves.

Anyway, I highly recommend you check out The Final Theory website ( http://www.thefinaltheory.com/ ) or check out the book on Amazon.com.
