Phil, *sigh*, there remains nevertheless valid reason to ignore the
whole lot of it as we so choose when we have other work to be getting
on with. The matter has arisen only within the relatively limited
branches of science habituated by astronomers and physicists, who
pursue their researches well beyond the domain of anthropology.

Look, get clear finally will you? Whatever exists exists without
humans being around to construct their assumptions, testable or
otherwise.
The universe is not *a posteriori* to humans coming along to Rhubarb
Rhubarb Rhubarb and bludgeon one another about it.
