You start with things as they are. You make predictions as to how things came to be as they are. You PROVE to a high degree of accuracy your predictions were correct.
You are putting the cart before the horse, again. I'll show you.
I start with the way things are. There is night and day in procession with one another.
I make predictions as how that came to be. The Sun revolves around the Earth. When the sun is overhead it is day. When the sun revolves to the other side it is night.
I prove with a high degree of accuracy that what I predicted was right. Everyone can see the Sun rise in the East travel over them than set in the West. This occurs every day so I must be right.
Now than, have I proven anything by following your model? Do my predictions correspond with my evidence? yes, so there is no need to incorpurate my theory into anyone elses and we are back to a earth cented solar system. Come on now this isn't science. This is at most a method to develop a best guess.
