...And the creation of the universe? Regarding evolution, I think we fundamentally agree. But you had said you didn´t like the Big Bang scenario. I like inflation, which I think smooths out a lot of Bangy problems. What do you think?
There is a war going on between standard cosmologists and plasma physics, and I am on the side of the plasma physicists. Plasma cosmology posits a steady state universe and from a purely philosophical perspective, the only tenable view in my estimation is that the universe, like God, is eternal, and that the creation stories we read in literature refer to the creation of our (present) living world within a time frame more compatible with Genesis than with Smithsonian theology.
