It's a fact that most scientific theories are eventually refined, superseded, or abandoned - even theories that have stood for centuries. But people like you always talk as if our present state of knowledge is the last word, and I find that infuriating. In my opinion, smugness is the antithesis of the scientific spirit.

So it's your contention that the best scientific knowledge we have on hand should be subordinated to superstition? I guess I can see the reasoning. The science might change, but the superstition... that's forever.

"... The Big Bang is "not proven fact; it is opinion," Mr. Deutsch wrote, adding, "It is not NASA's place, nor should it be to make a declaration such as this about the existence of the universe that discounts intelligent design by a creator." It continued: "This is more than a science issue, it is a religious issue."
