 I agree with all your points, even though I have some degree of skepticism a out our actual ability to make measurements of the remote past. 

Those errors are compounded enormously in the so called predictive models, so I think they're worthless.

Add to all this the undeniable fact that science has been fully coopted by the State, so it is virtually impossible to be a professional scientist who eats two warm meals a day outside the State-sponsored narrative...
