Re: Sig Figs
Really? Absolute crap. Where do you get your maths degree?
Here in the states we covered Significant figures in 9th grade (freshman in high school) science class......... (at least in Montgomery County, MD schools)

Hate to pile on
I hate to pile on Evopeach... But are there any examples of Creation science papers he has published? Even a paper (if it's scientific) from a creation science publication (do they have those?) might be of interest.
Regards

Re: Of course observation comes first
I was watching some energy and mass interchange in my back yard and the idea that sunlight made it possible for me to see led me to E=mc**2
acutally evopeach I'm pretty sure that one of the things Einstein was trying to explain was the observed curvature of light. So yes, the theory of general relativity came about due to observatiions that clashed with newtonian mechanics.

Einstein - off topic
Actually I found out that Einstein based his theory on a MUCH simpler observation: That all motion is relative.
If a body next to you appears to be in motion, it could be you are still (in the larger picture this is rather a remote possibility) and the other is moving, or it is still and you are moving, or (the usual case) you are both in motion; thus, all motion is relative.
