We all know where this will lead. What good is 'evidence' anyway, if 'true believers' are merely going to poo-poo it or deny it's validity. The most brilliant minds (Stephen Hawking, et al) of our time put the age of the Universe at 187,000,000,000 years old (that's 187 billion, in case I screwed up the zeroes). I guess I'll accept that (as opposed to the 7000 years the Creationist put it as), until better SCIENTIFIC data comes along. If God DID create it, that would make him a pretty old guy. Do you suppose he's sitting around thinking, "Wow, where did the time go".

Oh, and it started from a singularity. As good a theory as any other since we can't prove or disprove it. Look, this thread can only come to grief, but if you really want to discuss it, start another thread. That way Rory will be able to join in (he's uh, given up on this one .

Gotta go now. Have to see if I can talk Tony into sending me his PA2x for my broken PA1x .
