I won’t bother drawing that line-—>You Will. If the Big Bang, the so-called engine of matter has nothing to do with ‘speciation,’ then what does? If matter didn’t come into existence when the Big Bang (pagan Cosmic Egg) exploded, then Nature’s (capital N for nature worship) primary creative energy, evolution, had nothing to work on. So once again, if the Big Bang has nothing to do with speciation, then what does? The magical, mythological energy called evolution?!?

[FredZarguna]

Evolution is nothing more than a large number of random time displacements in a phase space which are driven by optimizing principles: the conservation of energy, maximization of entropy. Those operate whether there is biological evolution or not (there is.) They also operate whether the Big Bang happened or not (it did.)

But no biologist needs the latter to infer the former.
