Many were criticising Einstein up til pretty recently, they got egg on their face now.

Many people like to criticise others, but their theories are not yet proven or anywhere near being even fully discovered? What about this quantum stuff?

That would be the science way of doing things, and we cannot have that because science is naughty.
Your mockery is juvenile. You're a Brit right?
I'm a Brit - and I suggest you relax and lighten up a little, Pondera.

Ajahn Brahm on science...1:00 - 3:38

"He, the Blessed One, is indeed the Noble Lord, the Perfectly Enlightened One;
He is impeccable in conduct and understanding, the Serene One, the Knower of the Worlds;
He trains perfectly those who wish to be trained; he is Teacher of gods and men; he is Awake and Holy. "

--------------------------------------------
"The Dhamma is well-expounded by the Blessed One,
Apparent here and now, timeless, encouraging investigation,
Leading to liberation, to be experienced individually by the wise. "
