| July 8, 2012

How is it that many people insist that there is no evidence for the theory of evolution or the Big Bang theory, yet  scientists will insist that there is massive evidence for these theories?    The controversy comes from a misunderstanding of what constitutes  scientific evidence.    Laymen tend to think that unless we can […]
