Wishful Thinking Beliefs versus Verifiable Empirical Facts

 Scientists, and indeed all educators of science and history should not teach as facts their own (or groupthink) mere beliefs or wishful thinking. They should (indeed must) teach verifiable facts only as facts. And it is a verifiable fact that, as opposed to the old mere belief that no one whatsoever/none known to Darwin or Wallace pre-1860 read Patrick Matthew's (1831) prior publication of the full and complete theory of macroevolution by natural selection, over 30 people actually read Matthew's book before Darwin's and Wallace's claimed independent replications of Matthew's theory pre-1858/1859. How do we know this? Because they cited it in the literature years before Darwin's and Wallace's work. Moreover several were Darwin's and Wallace's admitted greatest influencers on the topic!

We are currently here at the intersection between the dishonest/delusional art of the Darwin Industry and the genuine science behind history and the fact led history behind science.

Proper science and history is determined by setting a very high bar for the quality of evidence it will accept. Some pseudo-scholars, particularly those who are part of the Darwin deification industry and its enablers in the world of publishing, think sources such as Wikipedia or published words in books or articles that support the cherished old belief, which is now a proven falsehood, that none known to Darwin or Wallace read Matthew's 1831 theory pre-1858, are evidence that none did so. But scientists know that all pictures and photos, including claims written in words, are merely anecdotal evidence. By way of explanatory contrast, the published (anecdotal) evidence in "Science Fraud: Darwin's Plagiarism of Patrick Matthew's Theory" is verifiable as tangible evidence you can hold in your hands and observe. This is because it directs you, by way of publication information of the references to the actual physical historic printed books and articles of the actual proof that Matthew's book and the ideas in it were read because they are cited in that same historic original printed matter that you can hold in your very own hands and read in a library. This means the evidence in Science Fraud can be directly studied and tested by scientists and historians. The spurious and opinionated and debunked or else unevidenced claims made on the likes of Wikipedia and Darwin deification articles and books will never attain such a high bar of evidence.

People have been accepting bad evidence in the story of Darwin and Wallace v Matthew with the result that they are wrong! Even though people such as Richard Dawkins may appear trustworthy we have to remind ourselves not to merely believe what we see on television or read in books, on the Internet or in articles. We need to check for ourselves. We have to force ourselves to be open to information that is not what we want to hear. This is how we improve our knowledge, And our knowledge has been improved by the fact we have now falsified the prior mere wishful thinking belief claim (spuriofact) that no one known to Darwin of Wallace read Matthew's theory before 1858/59. 

The extraordinary claim made by Darwin, after being confronted by Matthew in the press in 1860, and the further exaggerated claims made by Darwin writers since, that no single person read Matthew's 1831 prior published theory before 1860 can be dealt with and debunked as falsehoods by going back to original published evidence sources. And the book "Science Fraud" reveals, by way of the original published letters of Darwin and Matthew in the Gardeners Chronicle in 1860 that Matthew informed Darwin in published print of just who actually did read his theory and why it was deemed heretical and his ideas therefore suffered much brute censorship in in the first half of the 19th century. Furthermore, the new found evidence presented in Science Fraud of who else read and cited Matthew's 1831 book before 1858 is also a series of original accounts representing empirical evidence.

Conclusion

When we look for the extraordinary hard evidence to support the extraordinary claim made by Darwin after 1860, and parroted and exaggerated since by Darwin so-called "experts", that no one read the original ideas in Matthew's prominently published book before 1860, what we actually find is no extraordinary evidence at all. Instead original sources prove the claims to be false. Moreover, the newly discovered evidence that Matthew's 1831 book was cited over 30 times in the published literature pre-1858 literature.

This is is why I claim that on a balance of reasonable probability, and almost certainly beyond reasonable doubt, it can today be shown that Matthew's 1831 theory did influence its replicators Darwin and Wallace to replicate it before they replicated it. 

Furthermore, because original sources show he was prior told in print by Matthew in 1860 that others such as John Loudon, and a prominent professor, had read it Darwin lied when he claimed the exact opposite was true. Original sources prove therefore that Darwin was a serial liar about the man whose theory he replicated and thereafter referred to as "my theory" until the day he died.
