I was right the first time around that it is laughable the way the so called evidence is presented, all jumbled and gobbled around, compiled with speculations, assumptions, taking some obvious jabs and pokes at creati...

Re: questions for science( let's hear your answers)

Hi Robyn - There is certainly more to life than science and science shouldn't claim dominion over every form of human belief and experience. On the other hand, science (simply put) consists of observing and describing how the universe works. As time has passed, the observational techniques used by s...
