Just wondering how all that gas was developed if things just sprang into existence like evolutionists say.

Scientists make up words to communicate economically. We could communicate with a vocabulary of no more than 5,000 words, but our sentences and paragraphs would be much longer.

Square, cube, pyramid, mathematicians just make up words to sound smart. Wouldn’t it be so much easier to say

“Four sided two-dimensional figure with all four sides and angles equal”,

“Solid consisting of six four sided two-dimensional figures with all four sides and angles equal, and with the vertex angles of the solid all equal as well.”

“A solid consisting of two dimensional figures with three sides each, plus another two dimensional figure dimensional figure with an arbitrary number of sides equal to the number of the other sides and sharing an edge with every one them, and a vertex angle including all the other figures...”

“Sentence”, “paragraph”, “verb”, “noun”. Grammarians just make up words just to sound smart.

A parsec is defined as the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond, which corresponds to 648 000 / π astronomical units.

Sometimes I think scientists just make words up to sound smart. Elliptical. Pbbbbbbt. There’s no such word.
No, that's what you do. There's no such word as "parceps". Perhaps you mean parsec? And yes, of course elliptical is a word, pertains to the ellipses familiar to pretty much anyone who took high school geometry.
