There's a wealth of information on astronomy to tap into on the web
Good. Then maybe you can find what's wrong with these statements:
A black hole is also a singularity, albeit of much less mass (the largest so far detected contain the mass of a few million suns).
AND
The problem there, though, is that the universe exploded
AND
every black hole yet observed has only consumed matter and energy
Pay particular attention to the second quoted statement.

Re: The Paraphrase according to Jon
Yeah, I'd say you're totally off.
Taz's biggest point is that if you know practically nothing about a subject, then don't say anything until you do. After all, how can you disprove evolution (or physics, or geology, or chemistry, or any other science) until you actually understand what the other side is saying?
It also saves one from making a total fool of one's self.
I think you will find that Taz (and many others) does care about furthering the knowledge of other people. Not necessarily for "selfish" reasons (such as feeling good about yourself), but rather, for destroying one more idiot.
