Personally I missed seeing there was an argument I guess I am very blind indeed ... I am thick to use the vernacular.
Big bang has cred and so does the church simply because of the numbers in each camp... but then others have cred like the Government of the day where the numbers ebb and fall... who is really correct.
I think there is a camp that will never let go of the big bang as there is a camp that will never let go of the church...
I am not sure that the supporters of any side can look at the motivations and opinions of the other without disdain... that is the way the world works it seems to me.
As stupid as war is to me there are many others to come forward and argue the benefit... presumably they know more of the facts than me...but will that make them right?
I like to hear all views it does not mean they have to upset me or I have to bite ( which I don't these days) there is too much nonsense thrust in our face each day not to take a relaxed approach.
Bert I agree with your view on those in power.. they seem to develop a notion that they firstly know more than everyone else, that they are somehow more capable of intellectual input and mainly that rather than meeting argument with relevant fact resort to name calling to discredit the messenger rather than review the issue like adults.
I see holes in the big bang..I see holes in the church...I see holes in our governemnt but I also see good points in all... so I go on...and on
