One comment about wilson and penzias, they were not any great theoretical scientists or anything. I think they were AT&T technicians, maybe I am wrong but I am sure that they were just a pair of amateurs who made the discovery of the century by total fluke, after ruling out the p Wilson himself confessed to that in a pbs documentary about the origins of the universe. Speaking about their nobel prize, he said "there are surely many people out there who deserve this prize better, I even feel guilty." In this case, it is not just a sign of humility to say so! But what a blog you have here, hope there are more blogs around like this, will check your blog roll and your other posts! Usually people go on rambling and palavering on and on in so many blogs I've been checking, nothing as incisive and to the point as this! More comments to come!!

First, even if you fudge the "day" issue, the <i>order</i> of the creation events in Genesis 1 is all wrong: God created marijuana before He created the Sun and stars, for example. Second, its cosmology has the Earth being almost as old as the Universe (bzzt, wrong), with the sky above it being a solid barrier (nope) holding back vast quantities of water (say what?). Third, the first act of creation in Genesis 1 is the imposition of order on pre-existing matter, not the creation of matter <i>ex nihilo.</i>
