George Smoot, the team leader from the Lawrence-Berkeley Laboratory. He said, "It's like looking at God." Obviously, this captured the public's attention.

I imagine your fervid little brain squirmed like a toad in fast-drying mud when fellow scientist George Smoot said "It's like looking at God" when the COBE data was crunched and plotted.

Horror of horrors. Why couldn't the universe just behave, obey narrow-minded Darwinian preconceptions, and be steady-state to allow sufficient endless trillions of eons for Darwinian theory to work its bootstrap "something from nothing" magic?

Point of clarification: "bootstrap 'something from nothing' magic" is more commonly known as "Genesis, chapters 1-3."

But I'm sure you already know that.
