perhaps you need to read my post again - slowly - your response is a non-response/

I guess you believe science must be self-consistent? IT must not contradict itself.

Can you agree with that? (watch out it may be a trick)

Not in my opinion...

"I guess you believe science must be self-consistent?"

No, since "science" encompasses all sorts of things that end up turning out to be incorrect (referred to below as "failed theories", like heliocentrism).

On the other hand, science MUST be consistent with the observed universe. Anything else is not science by definition.

"IT must not contradict itself."

It must not contradict observed reality, or it becomes a "failed theory" rather than science.

"Can you agree with that? (watch out it may be a trick)"

?
