A "study" on the origins of the 900 gajillion trilliion year old friggin' universe, is worth no more or less, than a religious person's beliefs.There is no smugness. There is a process for science. Tools, math, observation are all involved. The whole idea of explaining the world simply off of a static, thousands of year old book and doing nothing beyond that comes off as ridiculous. Maybe if religious people went through a thorough process of studying the natural world to actually prove their beliefs they may get more respect. I'm agnostic and I am not an astronomer so I cannot say for sure what has happened in the universe, but I will give more credence to the information that comes from proper study than someone saying look at this old ass book that has been mostly wrong. And most importantly, scientific theories change as more information is made available whereas religious beliefs do not.
Liberals and their appeals to authority never cease to amaze. Some smart "science" people have a theory about the creation of the entire universe, that is completely unprovable and is just a bunch of guess work. Must lend credibility to it, because they're so smart and they have a fancy title.
Lots of "old ass" science books out there were wrong about a whole host of subjects, too. Not even big universe creation theory shit, either. Just basic shit. How were they wrong? They were scientists after all.
