Why would we want to shift the burden of proof to you? You don't know anything.
Science is not interested in proving anything to you. Science is never finished, it is just a systematic process to understand observations of phenomena in our Universe.
You shift the burden of proving the basis for all models of the past you make because you cannot prove it. Obviously. Therefore you seek to ask anyone and everyone with other beliefs to do what you cannot do yourself, prove them! Hypocrites.
Nope! I just said we already know that
YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SCIENCE, so if we want to understand
ANYTHING, we would
NEVER ask you. We already know that your beliefs will never answer our questions.

Yes it makes a difference since no one cares how it 'looks to you'.
Well good, if you don't care how it looks to us, then we don't have to worry about sharing time on the telescope with you. And when I look through my telescope and see a red star and then photograph it, I will report my observation of the red star and that I photographed it. I will not report that I didn't see anything, I will not report that it was green or blue.

Science uses the belief that it was
the same in all models of the past.
If something is the same in all models you only need one model. Science is exciting when something different or unexpected is observed.

When doing this, how could anything possibly be seen as anything other than present nature caused?
If a distant star looks red when I look through my telescope in my backyard then
THAT is what I will report. If I hook a spectrometer up to my telescope and it gives me a reading of a wavelength in the red part of the spectrum,
THAT is what I will report.

You cannot be honest or objective.
Really? Please point to the dishonest or nonobjective part of reporting my observations of a red star with my telescope and spectrometer in my backyard, on planet earth, last night at 10:46.

People could assume the tooth fairy tooted and made the universe.
People can and do make up lots of crazy stuff, but luckily the "tooth fairy fart" cult is spending all their time in a spat with the "god's exploding turd" cult so we don't have to even bother telling them we have a telescope.

That is what science does, put all evidence and observations through a belief lens.
Now see, that's why you flunked out of every science class. That is what religion does, put all evidence and observations through a belief lens.
dad writes:
Too bad the reports have no reality to them, or usefulness in actual science, or any application in the earth at all.
Sounds like sour grapes because we won't share our knowledge with you.

Belief is a clumsy tool. I would use a microscope.
That changes nothing. You still splatter beliefs all over the little things you see. The same is true if you use a telescope!
Well, like I said, I'm just happy I don't have to share any of my viewing time with you. I enjoy exchanging observations with other scientists, but you would not.
