I’m not sure that I would have scored well on this survey.

The earth (and all the planets) twist around the Sun as the Sun orbits the Milky Way. Think if the interwoven pattern in a braid. From the Earth, the simplest explanation of this phenomenon is that the Earth revolves around the Sun. In this Earth-centric view, the Sun is viewed as stationary. But, the Sun isn’t stationary. It and the Solar System are in orbit around the Milky Way. From outside the solar system, the relation of the Earth to the Sun isn’t well described as rotation.

With regarding to evolution, there is hardly any evidence of macro-evolution. There is a lot of evidence of micro-evolution. Species and life itself just seem to appear on the planet. The species that survive are those that are better suited to the environment. As there have been several revolutionary changes in the environment, not only species, but entire orders of life have died out. Among the species that have survived, distinct breeds have survived in various places featuring diverse environments. While several human-like apes co-existed with early man, where we or any of them came from isn’t clear. Nor is it clear that we and them are links in a chain of evolution. All that is clear, is that we survived and they didn’t.

the correct term is accretion.

gravity rules. the earth is acreting the moon. The sun is acreting the planets. A black hole is acreting the milky way, sun and planets.

The rings of Saturn are acretion debris concentrated in narrow bands. Some has acreted into clumps, satellites, moons

All appear to be traveling away from a centroid propelled by the initial momentum force

You would think evolution would be a smooth sinusoidal transition with no distinct changes generation to generation. Take the species homo sapiens - man if you will, you'd think there would be a slow changes as primates evolved over time. But it seems to be a step function with distinct sub species and accompanying characteristics "suddenly" appearing. What does that mean - "suddenly" appearing? How does that happen? How can group mutations happen? Let's say a baby is born to paleo human parents with smaller brow and the little baby girl some how more attractive. She would breed small browed offspring but the feature would be eventually washed out. The only way small browed to become dominant and permanently take hold would be a massive small browed mutation simultaneously happening to all tribes all at once. How can that happen?

But brows did get smaller and head shape changed but it "suddenly" appears, with no explanation from the evolutionary paleontologist.
