The collision and subsequent collapse of two five-dimensional universes would account for it. This is a far less preposterous explanation than the ones that religionists tend to come up with.

What's it called.....Darwin's _______?

The reason it's still a theory is because there are gaps.....if those get filled in maybe we can change it to fact.

I understand the science behind it and I make no claims that either are correct as "that's above my pay grade". I know what I believe in and don't expect others to agree.

I'm sure the hindus would be more of a problem here if there were more of them, but it seems like it's the usual suspects of judeo-christianity and islam. Good old monotheism.
So Muslim NY City taxi drivers do not have the right to refuse fares if
they have been drinking alcohol - would you agree ? It seems discriminatory
to me.

He talks to Jesus (Post #678). We mere mental midgets just do not have
the capacity to comprehend the divine one.

Well, businesses usually have the right to refuse service to anyone (beyond the usual protected groups), and I personally can't stand drunks, but I don't agree with that. If they have such a problem with alcohol, they should move to Saudi Arabia. Or go start an Amish-style compound in this country. If you're in the world, you deal with the world.

Should a christian cab driver have the right to refuse service to two gay men? No.

You obviously don't know the meaning of the word theory in the scientific sense. Very few scientific theories ever become laws, probably because scientists aren't absolutists like so many religionists.

In the beginning, all the matter in the universe was compressed into the size of a pea (possibly smaller, like an atom). For reasons still unknown, it began to rapidly expand. (insert 2001-style jump cut) Here we are. Treat each other with respect, which extends to all of nature.


There's your stupid bible.

Then ruling out a divine one or other possibilities isn't absolute?
