You are right, my apologies.

Not at all. It is not my opinion how science is done. But you wrote the
likes of:

"Science is all about zeroing in on an explanation of natural processes."

Now, I may be wrong, but I can't think of a single example in physical
science that fits your definition. And maybe my assumption of what you
call an explanation is wrong. If you mean model, I agree. But you
previously wrote:

"If anyone presents an alternate view or claims. or, heaven forbide
state they think QM, SR, GR is somehow wrong, BAM!"

Well, there are no alternative views. Science is about modeling and only
one model can be the most correct. If QM, SR, or GR were wrong, they
would be falsified by observation. If those that claim something is
wrong with say, SR, would only bother to understand this, there would be
a lot less BAMing going on.

I don't recall if we have. But I've been here on and off for some time.
I've learned an awful lot by reading stuff by the folks that really do
science.
