Well, the thing to do then, it seems to me, would be to show the
dispproof of these equations.  No physicist has done it.

                               x'=x-vt
                               y'=y
                               z'=z
                               t'=t

                           w=velocity of light
                           x=wt
                            x'=wn'

                          wn'=wt-vt
                            n'=t(1-v/w)

n' is time on a cesium clock in a moving frame of reference, t is time
on a cesium clock in a frame of reference at rest.
        So just go ahead and show your proof ,  and all of the
scientists and atheists can see for themselves.
