text: the big bang or god?  perhaps the big bang was mother nature slapping god on the rear to get him started? duno we ask ourselves daily what came first the osterich or the egg (they came from africa they were here before chickens) and to develop it into the perspective of "creation vs. naturalization" means to ask "what came first god or the universe?" right? we spend endless hours debating the bible-koran-and ultimately "in the beginning.." the religious type need no proof they have their faith to guide them-well that and their fear that they will burn for eternity if they deny their god. the scientific type uses tools and knowledge passed from mankind in his pursuit of "where did we come from?" and we all want the truth. i will take credit for being the genius to finally figure out the truth and we can all go home and laugh about it and you can believe which ever side you want but ultimately be thankful that you are alive and an american where because of our system of justice and freedom of thinking allowed me to tell you this-the big bang was god being slapped on the behind by mother nature! =)  casting aside that chickens are, as i recall, as ancient of a bird species when you consider the origin of them-- gallus gallus-- as the ostrich is (and there's my moment of taking things too seriously for you)...  that's a great theory!  and it makes sense!  i mean, who can't remember a time when a woman had to make a man get up from in front of the television and actually start that project he's been putting off for forever and a day?  thanks for making me genuinely smile at least once today, man.
