So the discussions about the Big Bang, the exact date of the
start of the Universe, whether time travel exists and how this
might come about, all this is mysticism? Will you be renaming
this message board sci.mysticism? Or is is somehow DIFFERENT when
human males who attach titles to their names and positions
discuss matters. THEN it becomes science. If Nancy posts our
words, points out the obvious, standing before you in your own
solar system and recorded continuously by you and your fellow
humans, then it's silly and fanciful.
