I tweaked the formatting some, but more fixes are needed
See the "Edited by" notes. Reading is easier if you have blank lines between paragraphs.
One thing I didn't do, is fix your messages massive lack of proper capitalization. Sentences should start with upper case letters, as should "I" and proper nouns (use those "shift" keys on your keyboard - They are so important that keyboards are manufactured to have two of them). Please also do such in your other messages.
Fix the capital letters and then I'll actually bother reading the content of your message.
Please post a "capital letters done" type message, as a reply to my message. That will bring the repair job to my attention.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way.

There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source

Strikes me as a mixture of cosmology and origin of liife - Promoted anyway
Another one that I predict will be a big mess.
1 mile closer to the sun we would burn up, 1 mile further away we would freeze.
Absolute nonsense! The Earth's orbit is an ellipse with a much greater variability than that.
I'm getting soft - Topic promoted.

It may be a fine link, but we need more (remember forum rule 5).
Maybe we need a new "Age of the Earth" type topic.
