:'''Reply''': by starting with an ''ad hominem'' attack, you lost credibility from the get-go.  A quick review of your points confirms it:
 +
 +
:1. "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."  It is when billions are spend on many years of looking.  Surely you wouldn't think a lost item is in your backpack if you spent time looking for it there and could not find it.
 +
 +
:3. "Only in experiments that have yet to be confirmed."  Experiments '''''are''''' confirmation in themselves.
 +
 +
:7. "the cosmological constant... fully accounts for accelerated expansion."  Reliance on a cosmological constant has failed before.
 +
 +
:10. The logical problem of a force which is applied at a right angle to the velocity of a relativistic mass.  "What logical problem? I studied physics at the graduate level and have never heard of any logical problem?"  Oh please.  None of these counterexamples is candidly addressed in physics departments because these counterexamples cast doubt on a theory preferred for political reasons.  Anyone in a physics department who expresses doubt about the theory of relativity would be thereby ending his own academic career.
 +
 +
:13. The action-at-a-distance of quantum entanglement.  "AAAD is a matter of interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. In any case, it does NOT Falsify GRT as no information is propagated faster than light."  Relativity essentially denies action-at-a-distance (which cannot seriously be disputed in QM) whether a type of information is transmitted or not.
 +
 +
:14. The action-at-a-distance by Jesus, described in John 4:46-54, Matthew 15:28, and Matthew 27:51. "See 13 (above). This statement also assumes that the action-at-a-distance by Jesus described in the Bible actually happened. It is not 'true and verifiable.'"  There are no [[Counterexamples to the Bible]], so this conflict is a serious one.
 +
 +
:15. The failure to discover gravitons, despite wasting hundreds of millions in taxpayer money in searching.  "Gravitons are the quanta of gravity waves. See #1."  And see my answer to #1.
 +
 +
:18. The inability of the theory to lead to other insights, contrary to every verified theory of physics.  "The ability to lead to other insights has never been a test of the validity of a scientific theory, and lack of consequent insight does not falsify a theory."  The failure of the theory to produce is strong evidence against its validity.
 +
 +
:26. The lack of useful devices developed based on any insights provided by the theory; no lives have been saved or helped, and the theory has not led to other useful theories and may have interfered with scientific progress. "Development of useful devices is a matter of engineering, and is not a test of a scientific theories validity."  A theory that inhibits technological progress, rather than enhance it, is almost certainly wrong.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:15, 13 November 2011 (EST)
