Why Clocks Don't Measure Time: A Critique of the Religious Dogma of Science

by Colin A. Ross

Why Clocks Don't Measure Time provides a critique of the religious dogma of science. Ordinarily, science and religion are two separate categories but, Dr. Ross argues, hidden within science is a disguised religious reductionism, accompanied by atheism. Reductionism is the doctrine that mind reduces, or boils down to, biology, biology to chemistry, and chemistry to physics, which in turn reduces to a set of inanimate physical forces. Within the rules of reductionism, no God, soul, spirit, life force, chi energy or anything similar is the universe is a machine, governed by the fundamental laws and forces of physics. This picture of the universe is a myth, not a testable scientific hypothesis. It can neither be proven nor disproven with scientific method. Reductionist science endorses a series of propositions that are in fact logically and scientifically impossible within the rules of reductionism. These the animate-inanimate matter distinction and the myth of the origin of life in the ocean 3.7 billion years ago. In Why Clocks Don't Measure Time, Dr. Ross analyzes logical problems in popular explanations of physics including quantum mechanics and relativity theory, in order to support his argument that not everything scientists say is necessarily logical or scientifically true.
