Christian relativity

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

That is just not supportred by the vast bodies of reproduced results. 
Relativity's predictions are spot on accounting for observed effects 
above the quantum level. It could use some reconciliation with quantum 
dynamics, but at the scales above that only the ability of average 
people to comprehend relativity is patchy.
