See my post above....You still don't get it, do you? What did you say you
had a PhD in? Where did I mention the entire history of science? Do you
really think that Newton and Einstein were just changing the names of the
same principals? Don't you realize that Einsteins developments were a more
accurate refinement of perfectly valid older theory? - What has this got to
do with changing the name of some African country because of a coup?
