| Quote | | But as you point out, Bill seems to be hopelessly lost when it comes to the subject. His oscillating quintessence seems to be an attempt to accommodate the fact that some stars' radiation is redshifted and some is blueshifted, but if he actually reads the literature, he's going to find it basically impossible to come up with any combination of oscillation modes that will fit the pattern of red- and blueshifts observed. |
Just to play devil's advocate: In general there is always a combination of oscillating modes that can produce a particular pattern of redshifting and blueshifting. It's just a matter of how ridiculously complicated it has to be. But, Paley's theory is impervious to complexity, naturally. He'll have to argue that God worked very hard in trying to deceive us.
