not professional journals
This is where you are going wrong. One needs to examine the specialist scientific literature to be able to understand specialist scientific issues.
If I wanted to explore the some aspect of CBT I would read (for example) the journal of Behaviour Research and Therapy. But I would be hard pressed to understand the details if I did not have years of education in the subject.
For all their faults specialist journals are where the information is. When I was an undergrad we were told in no uncertain terms that if you really wanted to get good grade we need to to read the research, rather than reading the text books because text books go out of date rather quickly.
Journals come out every month. They are the bleeding edge of understanding. When on writes an essay if one can find a brand new paper and cited it appropriately to support or contradict a thesis one would get a better grade than if one had just read the core text.
You appear to have not read the core text or any of the journals. How can you opinion be of value?
ABE: actually that sound harsher than I intended. It would be the same thing as if I tried to tell you that the there should be a Pope as mediator between man and the god of the bible, without giving the bible more than a brief flick through and not understanding the actual role of Peter and thinking "yeah that's why we should have a Pope".
If I said that you you would think I'm crazy.
All the best.

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

Does a query (thats a question Stile) that uses this physical reality, to look for an answer to its existence and properties become theoretical, considering its deductive conclusions are based against objective verifiable realities.

Not so.
I imagine Taq is saying that until there is evidence to support the hypothesis it will not be accepted.

Re: What if God used evolution to create man?
What evolved characteristic was reached in man that differentiated him from the other creatures?
Our level of cognitive capacity and tool use. That's about it as far as I can see.
There seems to be no evidence of a soul or spirit.

Yeah, I didn't mean to say animals did not have cogntion but that our level of it was greater.
