"but I am not going back to school to satisfy everyone else’s curiosities."

Nor am I. But I noticed, you didn't sound quite as dogmatic in that last response as you did in the previous one. Clearly there are some scientists and universities acknowledging that there are some controversies, some anomolies that don't fit.

Creationists have a problem with the scientific community and the MSM reporting of science. It is the same as the problem Freepers have with science and MSM reporting of Global Warming or that Trump has with the MSM.

There is a lot of preconceived bias, even dogma, built into both the scientific community and the MSM. Alternative views tend to be squashed and ignored, with their programs shut down rather than fully explored and explained. It's a lot like trying to get a conservative viewpoint expressed on MSM.

The science is not settled. There is much we don't know. Some of what we think we know, may not be true. I have a sudden desire for Rummyspeak.

The video also had an interesting discussion of the Michelson Morley experiments, with an implication that our standard model is based on the aether not existing. They claim that the US Air Force repeated the experiments in 1986 and actually detected the aether. I'm not a physicist and don't understand the implications, but they might be cosmic.

I am not sure I am spending any energy to be, or not be, 'dogmatic'. There are things we don't understand, but for daily practical purposes, we have developed mathematics, science, and physics that govern our daily lives and the work we do. So common sense and application of what we know helps us go forward to explore the unknown.

Regarding your greater curiosities and what is or is not settled science in the real of cosmology (not to be confused with cosmetology), I will just quote Ferris Beuller:

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.
