Has Cosmology Been Solved?

Posted by kdawson on from the more-concensus-than-debate dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In 1998, Dr. Michael Turner published a famous paper titled 'Cosmology Solved? Quite Possibly!' where he outlined seven major issues cosmologists should address in the following ten years. Nine years later, he revisits the list in an interview with the Slackerpedia Galactica podcast. He summarizes progress on each issue, adds some new goals for the next ten years, and even suggests that cosmology is now more interesting than science fiction."

    That's the 1st creation story. Genesis contains a second which many religious folks don't like admitting. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_according_to _Genesis#Single_vs._dual_account

    Please take the time to learn from a church that uses the bible for their dogma instead of some big-hatted-dude's opinions.
    All I gotta say is my karma ran over your dogma!
