SERIOUSLY PEOPLE.

Humans did not evolve from MONKEYS OR APES. WE EVOLVED FROM A COMMON ANCESTOR.

Evolution is crazy from the beggining. If there was a big bang, something was there to make the bang. Something had to be made from something which also had to be made from something. So, what came first is sort of impossible to find out truely. But all this physical stuff didnt just go BANG and appear. If it did, something that is NOT physical had to have created it. Simple logic, eh?

The year is 2150. The circum-lunar particle accelerator, the greatest and most expensive scientific instrument ever created, is days from being switched on for the first time. The huge supercooled liquid helium tanks at each substation start pumping the coolant, bringing the electromagnet coils closer to their superconductive range. Seven equatorial fusion reactors ramp up to full capacity; ready to pump quintillions of joules into the accelerator. For the first test, something simple has been planned. Two protons, accelerated in opposite directions, will be slammed into each other. If all goes well, the energy involved in the collision will be enough to probe the smallest reaches of the universe – the Planck length.

The temperature of the coils is now well within operating temperature, and the output of the fusion reactors are dumped into several hundred house-sized capacitors (each one alone costing nearly a billion dollars). The protons are injected into the collider tube. After a few revolutions, they will have a velocity of 0.99999999999999 times the speed of light. Then the paths will be deflected ever so gently such that they hit each other in the vicinity of a bunch of detectors attached to the fastest supercomputer ever built – made from 2^16 modules, each module containing 2^16 processors, each processor having the computational capacity of an entire planet’s worth of human brains.

Zero-hour. The protons are approaching the collision chamber at the fastest velocity ever attained by any non-tachyonic particle ever. In an instant of time too small to measure, the event is over. The colliding particles have disappeared, sucked into the rift in space-time that they created. The singularity widens, propogating outwards at the speed of light. It overwhelms the chamber, then the detector suite, then the nearest substation, and soon the entire moon. The universe begins to fold around itself, bringing everything closer together. Superstrings collide and form a series of black holes winding throughout the entire extent of the universe. Gravitational waves traveling at several trillion times the speed of light warp and twist everything until all physical matter rips itself apart down to the level of quarks. The extensive dimensions are decoupled from the rolled-up dimensions; the strings that form the basis of everything contract to infinitely dense points.

Within hours, the universe has been completely destroyed. Space and time themselves have been sucked into a singularity, along with the remnants of everything that used to exist. But the singularity contains enough energy that the forces reunify; symmetry is regained. Suddenly, repulsion wins over attraction. Big Bang.

14.7 billion years later, the circum-lunar particle accelerator, the greatest and most expensive scientific instrument ever created, is days from being switched on for the first time…

Most importantly, Big Bang theory has nothing to do with Evolution.

Science works more like this: First some people tried to think of a way to explain the world. Every one accepted it. Then some other people else comes along and said, "The other guys were idiots. It's this way. Then people laughed, and some times, for political or religious reasons, abuse the poor guys who noticed that the previous guys were wrong.

Apparently you missed the point....

The point was to demonstrate how creationism and evolution are compatible -- God took the first step and created stuff, then evolution carried it on from there. Still have the whole of evolution, and still have the whole of creationism.

The point was NOT to explain the timeline of evolution. Thus, for the sake of simplicity, I didn't bother researching to make sure every last detail was correct.

Let's not forget that neither theory attemps to explain how the universe came to be in the first place. Rather, "who started the big bang" or whatever. Science leaves that as unknown instead of saying "oh...um, GOD did it! Yeah, that's it."

Kind of reminds me of what happened to Darwin in a way.

Well, it's less of an 'unknown' and more of an irrelevancy. Science is the study of the Universe. Anything that isn't in the Universe isn't science.

how do you go from no life... to suddenly having even the most primitive spark of basic life. no life whatsoever... to suddenly... LIFE! is there a scientific explanation(sp) for this?

If someone created it, how did that person exist in the first place? Did he create himself? Logic problem.

Yes, although it's not exactly that simple. It wasn't *BAM* chemical reaction -> single celled organism. It probably took a LONG time.

So then the question becomes, why teach ID and not the flying spaghetti monster theory, A.K.A. pastafarianism? Why not my own theory I just made up right now about hamsters and tire irons?

Duh. It wasn't even serious. I can't belive you thought it was a serious argument.

How am I wrong if I didn't even state an openion?

In addition, the board rewrote the definition of science, so that it is no longer limited to the search for natural explanations of phenomena.

So, so sad. Much sadder than the ending of Titanic in which Leo had to let go of the floating bit of wood. I feel like sending money overseas to help the needy children.
