Evolution is junk science, in the same league with the so-called "Big Bang" and "Cassini Divisions".

Huh? Cassini Division

do you have a better explanation for the observed recession of galaxies than the Big Bang?

do you have a better explanation for the observed microwave background radiation than the Big Bang?

do you have a better explanation for the observed abundances of hydrogen, deuterium, helium and lithium than the Big Bang?

It's just there. ;-) Just like the dinosaur fossils were created deep in the strata and "aged" to look old to our tests.

Big Bang...

Isn't that the same as....

>> Huh? Cassini Division

My mistake on the Cassini Division. My memory failed me in my old age. What I was referring to was the general scientific concensus that existed from about 1930 on (and perhaps before) on why the rings of saturn and the Cassini Division(s) existed. According to Sagan, everyone believed that theory as if it were fact. But, Sagan stated, Voyager proved it to be 100% wrong. My point is that if scientists have trouble understand physical processes in our small solar system, how are they to be believed on something as complex and as distant in both space and time as the so-called "Big Bang"? Further, none will venture into the realm of where the initial point or particle came from (a "particle" that must have been of infinite density, containing infinite energy). Then there is the matter of space and time. Sooner or later logic leads us (some kicking and screaming) to a creator with a divine intention that we all are a witness to.

Don't get me wrong about Sagan. I loved his Cosmos series, and I believe him to have been a brilliant person (except for his wacky politics); but he, like all others that venture in to the unprovable realms of creation and evolution always leave more questions unanswered than they answer.

You left out Dark Energy. When you figure it all out, get back to me.
