Right.

Which . . . affirms . . . imho . . . what some of us have been saying . . .

even the ostensibly most rigorous

‘objectivist’

treatment of ‘reality’

is going to be chronically flawed, more or less regardless.

But it wasn't rigorous objective treatment of reality; rather it was their subjective belief that that was flawed. They lived ina dleusion until the telescope was tested against relaity and not against numbers.

Objective treatment of reality is when you place your hand on a hot stove top and never do it again. It never fails. It doesn't require faith or spirit. It doesn't require prayer in order to work. It works every time. On demand. It does not discriminate between 'spiritual' and 'natural.'

Contrary to what some have been saying, the Bible also has "stove top" proofs. One of them is that if you have faith you can even walk on water. Do you walk on water so that know you have faith or do you just believe you do?
