    it is about time that the lemmings step out of their soma induced slumber and think for themselves. The sheepish acceptance of the Big Bang theory will someday be looked on the same way we look upon bloodletting and banging on rocks and drums to drive spirits out.

    Perhaps if anything, this will start a drive for the truth instead of simply resorting to a lazy surrender of fact finding to settle on the Big Bang.
