Re: (Wo)man enough to register?
John said he didn't have time to address this, and I don't really either, so I thought I'd just clarify a little:

Are you saying that the theory of evolution doesn't start with the thought process that life or whatever started or rather evolved from the big bang?
This is probably just terminology. The big bang refers to the event that began the universe roughly 13.7 billion years ago. Life did not begin with the big bang. Our solar system, including the sun and the earth, did not even come into existence until about 8 or 9 billion years after the big bang, condensing from nebular material floating in space. In other words, the big bang has nothing to do with the origin of life and evolution. It doesn't even have anything to do with the origin of the solar system.
