Last time I checked, you didn't believe in atoms, atomic nuclei or quantum mechanics. So why bother believing in something like photons?
Each part of light gives observations for its own characteristics.

Why not light to be consisted of electromagnetic waves and particles represented by photons If it has characteristics of both a wave and a particle?Each part of light gives observations for its own characteristics.That to be said when light is emitted from a source there should be a photons emission as well as electromagnetic waves emission from the same source.And both travel with the same speed of light.And there is a relation between Electromagnetic wave frequency and photon energy the more frequency the more photon energy making photon and waves a unified collection, but the two are separate entities so that we can apply Maxwell's equations and quantum mechanics equations separately.

Photon is neutrally charged.

Hi, all kinds of EM waves including visible light.
The frequency of visible light is referred to as color, and ranges from 430 trillion hertz, seen as red, to 750 trillion hertz,
a waves ''characteristics'' are flowing energy.

How light is both photons and EM waves if the two are completely different ?
Photon is absolute energy ,
... absolute energy
A wave occur in continuous field
