the only other advice that i can give you is to go back, research these subjects again, and try to prove yourself wrong. it is the preconceptions that we seek to fulfill that deceive us. science is about the data, not what we want to be true.
i cannot convince you, only you can do that. your desire to believe what you believe is evident. i once believed all of this. i was challenged to keep looking, by people i respect. when i finally did, the data led me to the facts.

It is about the data and I'm not a person who makes decisions based on what I want to be true. So where is the data you have to show me to make me update my knowledge on these subjects? Desire doesn't trump evidence.
That is cute, but wrong. Data is gained from measurement, not conclusion. Without data gathering, from experiment, the rest of the method is worthless. Observation is a beginning. Study is to gain background to create a hypothesis. experiment is the crucial bit, and without it there can be no conclusion as to the validity of the hypothesis. Please go back and study Descartes again.
Natural philosophy is what became physics. Forget Descartes, go look up what words mean, then learn philosophy, the Trivium, and the scientific method.
Is that a serious question? If so, see the previous comment.
