Like evolution, physics is full of contradictions and conundrums, and all
the details are a long way from being worked out.  So why don't we teach an
"alternative theory" in physics classes?  After all, doesn't "Magic" offer a
better and more complete explanation of things we don't understand?  Maybe
we should teach "Alchemy" as an "alternative theory" to inorganic chemistry,
too?  Astrology instead of Astronomy?  Demonic Possession instead of
Abnormal Psychology?

And don't forget my favorite, the Laying On of Charlatan Hands instead of
Medicine. :/
