If god is omniscient then free will is a farce as the future would necessarily be perfectly known which means it could not be subject to change.

If god is not omniscient then there's no logical reason to accept anything he says regarding the future as truth.

Sorry I logicked your god

You again, moron? Instead of your shit philosophy go sweep streets or make burgers. Not science, GTFO.

Sure. Modern science doesn't need your fancy talk. How it feels to leave in XVII, tell me.

Do science without assuming the universe exists and that we can learn about it.

what is dark matter? what is dark energy? what is gravity?

You can never know how deep the impact of answering this questions would be. Electrostatics and magnetism were also seen as interesting yet ultimately unimportant unexplained phenomena before we dwelved deeper into them.

>There are no longer any lone geniuses revolutionizing a field of science in their spare time.

This is because physics has gotten so complex you have to be a genius just to have anything resembling a true understanding of the field nowadays.

There have been very few "lone" geniuses throughout history, except Newton mainly. Special relativity, for example, uses Lorentz's length transformations which were in fact created to justify aether's existence. Einstein was bright enough to see they also explained a space without aether, but that's a realization I'm pretty sure someone else would have had eventually. can't say the same about general relativity though....

Also, physics is the only field. Fields like applied physics, biology and chemistry advance quantitatively and qualitatively every day without need of groundbreaking revelations
