Well have you seen his website? He has a love in with Hitchens and others and they choose a diabolical Title called the "Four Horse Men of the Apocolypse."

So Richard Must be the white Horse of Death with Hell following?

Oxford University(Enemies Of God) claim this man is sup[posed to be defending science.

Now he admits that he is speculating, no science is in disrepute.

So you think I gloating, then fill the gaps.

Explain to me how the world got here.

Wouldn't that be a complete of a waste of time? You have already made it perfectly clear what your views and beliefs are on the matter, and how unlikely they are to change.

However too simplify matters down, just read:

http://www.umich.edu/~gs265/bigbang.htm

Which should cover the initial basics. Then, from there, try:

http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/ast123/lectures/lec25.html

http://nedwww.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/Watson/Watson_contents.html

As additional sources of information. I provide these links because I believe it to be my moral imperative, even though I greatly doubt you will do more than skim-read them and just go back to asking your initial question. If you need questions answering that are pertinent and will further your understanding, then ask them and I, for one, will answer them to the best of my ability.

I'd say physics is far closer to the explanation than any religion ever was... I don't think a Goddidit of any kind actually explains anything, but please do prove me wrong.

Is this sarcasm? Because I seriously cannot tell any more.

Oxford University(Enemies Of God) claim this man is sup[posed to be defending science.

Now he admits that he is speculating, no science is in disrepute.

Saying that they are "working on it" brings science into disrepute? Why I think it would greater harm the case for science if he had said they weren't working on it, claimed to know all the answers and therefore weren't going to bother searching any more. Sound familiar?

Well, here's the heart of your misunderstanding. You want an explanation for how the world got here? Fine: a giant dog excreted it.

There. One explanation, as ordered.

Not satisfied? Maybe not all explanations are equal, or even worthy of consideration. Maybe we want more than just any old explanation. Maybe we want something that makes sense, something that we can verify, something that predicts things about the world we live in that would be falsified if those predictions turned out to be false.

Science has a pretty good idea about what happened in the early universe, how planets and stars formed, and how life diversified on an early Earth. We don't know much about exactly what caused the universe to start expanding in the first place, or even if that question has any meaning. We have some idea how life first arose from non-living things, but no firm theory yet.

The point is, I'll take an honest "I don't know" over some cooked-up mythology anytime.
