An interesting look at creationism & science...[/b]
Would teachers in the Tennesse public schools be allowed to hold ID up to rigorous examination without fear of being stoned by a knuckle dragging mob of rednecks?

It would be a case of "don't confuse me with facts, my minds made

Ah well, we tried to elevate the debate... thanks, son & aardvark

Spontaneous generation just doesn't make logical sense to me.

Sure. Pray give me a more scientific theory on where all the atoms in the universe came from.
On the one hand you accept that the universe is comprised of atoms.
On the other hand, you deny the nature of atomic theory based on flux, time & eternity being one, and the spontaneity of all things everywhen.
Pray, let your left lobe know what your right lobes's doing....

Their discovery has been used as evidence in support of the “big bang” theory that the universe was created by a giant explosion billions of years ago (see cosmology). Penzias and Wilson shared the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physics with Peter Kapitza.
I've heard of Einstein but I'm afraid I don't recognize these other folks.
George Smoot works in experimental astrophysics and observational cosmology at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (formerly Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory), where he has been since 1970. He is most famous for his research on the cosmic background radiation, thought to be the relic of the intense heat of the early Big Bang.
In April 1992, George Smoot made the announcement that the long sought variations in the early Universe had been observed by the COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) DMR (Differential microwave radiometer) team that he led. NASA's COBE satellite mapped the intensity of the radiation from the early Big Bang and found variations so small they had be the seeds on which gravity worked to grow the galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and clusters of clusters seen in the universe today.
George Smoot's research group at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is titled the Cosmic Microwave Background Astrophysics Research Group.

Yes

This is where I loose you. Atomic theory explains the functionality of the atom, but not the origin of it.

😕 ??? I recognise this from the Bible somewhere. 😛
