You make many useful points. I am not denying the scientific/technological reality, just giving a caveat to those who fall under its spell. In fact, I was just thinking about the idea that there are, of course, vastly many "scientific" applications that are the way things are done, the way we have learned to create what we need and want from the materials available, the way progress is made.
My argument to quantum physics is to some extent more about the people who use these studies to suggest metaphysical certainties far beyond the province of these experiments.
However, your "problem of multiple independent observation" is not a problem if we take into account that all these independent observers observed with human equipment and minds. Observance is one thing; interpretation another.
If I were about to be eaten, which I suppose I regularly am by flu bugs and such, I do the pragmatic thing at hand. That is not so much science as a combination of logic, instinct and creative thought. If you are suggesting that weapons predicated on science keep us safer, including vaccines and such, I am sure they do to a great extent, but are often double-edged swords.
Thank you for a most engaging, challenging, and thought provoking exchange.
Peace,

Thanks. I don't know why I feel compelled to answer every statement of hate, every lie, every smear, but somehow I feel it is my responsibility.
I hope you enjoy my comments/posts and continue to write yourself!
