Thank you for your reply and understanding!

Much of science today, and all of Darwinism, is still on Newton's "classical model."...

Indeed. That seems so backwards considering the breakneck pace of physics and math. Jeepers...

For instance, did you know that NASA's "official position" on evolution today is classical Darwinism (i.e., RM+NS)? I only found out about this recently, and was quite surprised.

Since NASA is a government bureaucracy - and bureaucracies measure performance by budget appropriations rather than competition – we ought to cut them a little slack as they come up to speed this next century. LOL!

Of a truth, it would probably do more to advance science and reduce costs if NASA went head-to-head with China on a vital technology contest – like it did “way back when” against Russia to get a man on the moon.

Now there's a really interesting idea, Alamo-Girl! Put the "competition" back into science...what an idea!

On the other hand, I suppose we could just wait for American science to be overtaken altogether by the "international rat pack" of next-generation physicists now collaboratively forming -- from Israel, Central Europe, India, China, and Russia -- who will probably wind up eating our lunch for us if present trends hold. (So to speak.) IMO FWIW.
