Right, numbers come from two places
1) From a theory, which calculates it using equations.
2) From measurements taken in observation or experiment.

Science involves comparing the numbers from (1) with the numbers from 
(2). If the numbers agree consistently, then this is how you know the 
theory is good. If the numbers do not agree, then this is how you know 
the theory doesn't work. If you can't generated (1) at all, this is how 
you know you don't even have a theory.

Now, John, if you're going to call all this garbage, then you're just 
saying that you don't get how science works, or that you get it and you 
think it sucks. So either way, why do you post here?
