#:::More recent Mercury data, particularly from the MESSENGER space probe, have provided positional data vastly better than anything Leverrier could have dreamed of.  (In fact, Because of the many interplanetary spacecraft of the last few decades, we now have a huge amount of incredibly accurate data on a large number of bodies in the Solar System.)  Perhaps Andy believes that the scientific community has been remiss in not continuing to analyze these Mercury data to the present day, presumably looking for evidence of whether relativity is true or false.

#:::Perhaps Andy could provide his own ideas about why, other than relativity, the precession occurs.  This would not just be a matter of quibbling over 42.98 and 42.99, but of explaining the discrepancy between 42.99 and zero.  This point was brought up on the [http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Community_Portal#Two_millionth_page_view_for_the_.22Counterexamples_to_Relativity.22_page Community Portal] in December, with no reply forthcoming.

#:::Of course, even absent an alternative theory, showing a discrepancy between observation and theory would be interesting.
