I explain how terms like inflationary theory, brief time, epoch, and dark matter (which already assumes matter) are not genuine scientific descriptors. They are part of a semantic game. They sound authoritative, but to anyone who understands what they are supposed to describe (and more importantly, what they don’t describe or lack evidence for) they are deeply misleading. If you know what to look for, you’ll begin to see semantic games everywhere, especially whenever the standard narrative of evolution, deep time, and materialism is presented.

Mary Schweitzer’s discovery of soft tissue in a T. rex bone should have shaken the foundations of deep time. Instead, explanations were scrambled and the evidence was reinterpreted until it no longer posed a problem. Why does this keep happening?
