It's a wise thing to remember the old adage "there's more than one way to skin a cat". Especially when it comes to science and philosophy.
Carl;

This has nothing to do with my 'beliefs' or anything else you have dreamed up.

The 'bandwagon' you allude to, is a perfectly legitimate, supportable branch of mainstream science and has found many areas of diverse applicability.

My role in discussing it, has been purely one of 'carrier-pigeon'.

An understanding of Chaos Theory does not in any way, eliminate or compromise, any other scientific principles, theorisation, conjecture, principles, etc, etc, (as I have pointed out many times already).

Also, kindly do not speak on my behalf again … I am perfectly capable of expressing myself, when posts are directed at me.

Cheers
