But the origins of the universe DO directly relate to evolution, as it pertains to that theory of how the planet, sun and solar system formed, how the first life sprung from absolutely nothing but energy and climate, and evolved into every single thing on this planet. And it's something else I planned to explore. Simply saying, "Well, that's Astronomy" is very much like saying, "Fossil Record? Well that's Geology." Well, yes, it is, but that doesn't make the question less relevant.
See, Evolutionary theorists try to "prove" their idea by using science, as they should. They take observable phenomenon and then posit ideas using known science to explain that observation. The problem is, macro evolution (what we're talking about when we say ET) is not observable. We have fossils**, we have rocks, we havee animals that closely resemble each other, but we don't have irrefutable evidence that this is what happened.
Occam's Razor, according to Webster's online:
Date: circa 1837
: a scientific and philosophic rule that entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily which is interpreted as requiring that the simplest of competing theories be preferred to the more complex or that explanations of unknown phenomena be sought first in terms of known quantities
Meaning, all things being equal, the simplest explanation us usually the right one. ****
Think about that.
**I will work on the fossil thing tomorrow and post on that.
****(See Contact, a movie based off the book by Carl Sagan, an evolutionist, starring Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughy.)
