Misconceptions about Newton vs Einstein: Crisis!

Modern physics in a state of deep crisis which comes to expression in the complete adoption of Einstein's Theory of Gravitation EG as replacement of Newton's Theory Gravitation NG as the most successful theory of all of classical physics. Modern physicists decided to take this step after the death of Einstein in 1955 under pressure to come up with something new after the success with the atomic bomb started to fade, based on the following arguments:   

1. NG is a "simplified version" of EG as a "limit" under low-speed and weak-field conditions. 
2. EG is thus "more fundamental" than NG. 
3. NG is "wrong" in certain extreme cases outside its (incredibly vast) area of validity, where EG appears to be "right".
4. Whatever success NG has is also a success of EG, since EG includes NG. 
5. In short: It is necessary to replace NG by EG, even if NG is used in all cases of any practical meaning. 

Let us now take a step back and see if 1-5 makes any sense. Let us start recalling that NG and EG has fundamentally different ontology or real physics:

• NG is based on Poisson's Equation based on the assumption that gravitational force is conservative (work independent of path) and conservation (no force out of nothing or into nothing). NG has a simple mathematical form and appears to cover all gravitation of some real (practical) meaning. The greatest success of mathematical modeling.  
• EG is based on a principle of curved space-time replacing gravitational force where the physics is hidden in very complicated mathematics.
• NG and EG thus have fundamentally different physical meanings, which means that NG is not a special case of EG.  

This means that the success of NG is not also a success of EG. It is necessary that EG stands on its own merits. But EG is uncomputable in all cases of practical meaning, which means that EG has very little merits of its own. 

In short: The step taken by modern physicists to replace NG by EG lacks scientific rationale and so adds  to the credibility crisis of modern physics acknowledged by prominent physicists. But there is no reason physics should be in a state of crisis, since there are so many new possibilities opened in particular by computation. A first step out of the crisis is to put NG first and view EG as fringe science without real scientific interest. This will be a relief to both educators and students giving room for real understandable physics.

If you still believe that Einstein should replace Newton, recall

• Observations of apparent instant-action-at-distance agree with a fundamental aspect of NG.
• Gravitational force with time delay as fundamental aspect of EG, requires tricky compensation/fix to agree with observations. 
• NG is computable in general. EG is uncomputable except possibly in some very special cases. 
• NG is based on fundamental physical principles of simple mathematical form. EG has very complicated mathematical form with unclear physical meaning.
• NG says nothing about possible aberration of light or gravitational lensing, since light is massless. If light is affected by gravitation, it is a matter for Maxwell's equations.  
• GPS satellite clocks are offset at launch to compensate for time dilation in EG,  but the offset is over-run by continuous synchronisation to an Earth-based master clock, and so does not show that EG is correct and NG wrong. 

Hopefully, this can start a discussion comparing the scientific merits of NG and EG. Input?
