Even theories of evolution call for more and more improbable things to happen as the creatures involved rise above the level of insects. The deck is obviously stacked in such processes when you get up into animals like whales, yet no “respectable” science wants to talk of a Deck Stacker.
I agree. NASA launches a satellite that circumpolar orbits the sun. That's good search for knowledge. But it isn't long before every news outlet is spouting some gibberish about solar tsunamis engulfing the planet and reeking havoc on earth orbiting satellites and the airline industry. I'm a little of skeptical of the science/24 hour news complex and their alarmist hissy fits that's all.
