In philosophical terms they are, to put it figuratively, 1000 kilometers deep and 1 nanometer wide.

You garbled this homily right?

The difference between a invariant fixed frame universe, and an Einsteinian universe is a mile wide and an inch deep? How about a fixed crust vs subducting continental shelves? How about a universe several trillion times larger? You are one tough audience.

"We Are The Guys Who Know" is a rather arrogant label for such a thing, which masks away as irrelevant to Knowledge huge areas of human thought that older, wiser thinkers did not spurn. Thinkers who did not dare reduce humanity to a heap of wiggly particles.

Nonsense, science makes no such claims. It only knows things about a very limited field of discourse, and is very aware of that; looking at it's history, it is hard to understand how someone could maintain such an encompassing notion of science, except through rigorous avoidance of science's daily business.

Certainly most scientist's don't hold any such attitude.

Every time you say Science, you acknowledge that it does in fact make claims to be the center of truth. There are other, humbler sciences such as political science and computer science, that don't do this. I've never seen a political scientist or a computer scientist stand up and say "Science says...."

I can confidently criticize the whole kit and kaboodle because I have become convinced that God will sweep the entire occasion for it away someday, ushering in a whole new regime of reality. The bible calls it a new heaven and new earth. The deepest insights of what parades as Science now, will be but a footnote in heaven's history books, if it even keeps books on such things.
