Creationists joining forces with Natural Philosophy Alliance
Here is an organization representing a growing number of dissident physicists:
The Natural Philosophy Alliance (NPA) is devoted mainly to broad-ranging, fully open-minded criticism, at the most fundamental levels , of the often irrational and unrealistic doctrines of modern physics and cosmology; and to the ultimate replacement of these doctrines by much sounder ideas developed with full respect for evidence, logic, and objectivity. Such reforms have long been urgently needed; and yet there is no area of scholarship more stubbornly censorial, and more reluctant to reform itself.
Reigning paradigms in physics and cosmology have for many decades been protected from open challenge by extreme intolerance, excluding debate about the most crucial problems from major journals and meetings. But the founding of the NPA in 1994 provided those struggling against this irrationality and intolerance with the strength, visibility, and credibility that comes from numbers and from collaborative, purposeful effort. It has also enabled them to share, expand, and refine their individual knowledge through contact with many other critical scholars, at NPA general meetings–held at least once per year since 1994–and by phone and mail, both postal and electronic.
We call the NPA an “alliance” because our members hold a wide variety of different views, yet have joined forces in a common effort. We agree unanimously on little more than that something is drastically wrong in contemporary physics and cosmology, and that a new spirit of open-mindedness is desperately needed in order to correct this situation
…..
Our foremost watchword is tolerance . Physics has sunk into its current mess largely because of lack of it, while some other sciences, such as the earth sciences, have made remarkable progress since 1950 by practicing it. Beyond science, we also strongly oppose political, religious, racial, and ethnic bias: for example, our criticisms of special and general relativity do not involve any kind of criticism of Einstein as a person, or of his political and ethical views–or even, in most cases, of his other valuable scientific work.Several NPA members believe that the main benefit of criticizing and replacing special relativity may be–beyond even the likely development of new energy sources this will facilitate–the undermining of the relativism and subjectivism that have increasingly infused many areas of thought over the past century, since the iconoclastic amorality of Nietzsche. It will then become more difficult to support ethical relativism, and to argue that truth and values are not objective, absolute, eternal, and/or rationally based.

This sounds like a great step forward. Is there a place for evolutionary biology in this organization?

This organization is focused on physics, but it makes sense that there should be an organization like this for biology.
The issues that this alliance deals with are too obscure for most, however, if the dissident physicists are right, it will overturn everything from nuclear energy, chemistry, and space travel.
If even one successful alternative energy device is created via the new physics, then there will be an avalanche of change.
For right now, I’m still learning the old physics in order to understand the new. Classes at Johns Hopkins are HARD! I’ll post periodically on new developments.
Whatever happens, Einstein will still be revered, as he deserves much reverence. However, Darwinism must eventually be despised….

Darwinism has always been despised by all the right people. It is the biggest joke in the history of civilization, 150 years of mass hysteria fueled by generation after generation of congenital atheists. I have predicted its final death throes by next February, just in time for the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth.
I love it so!
