I'm E H Smith, a new member of Nexus. My new book is out. It is titled JUST US FOR ALL.
The first thing I did in that book was to briefly explain my theory. My theory is Universal
Evolution. Basically, I hold that all things evolve/change, not just organic life. I hold that
this is true from -20 billion years ago, and I outline it in my book.
I hold that it wasn't just a little Big Bang. It was 10 billion years of accumulation of two
great masses followed by a collision and an explosion beyond all belief. That set off the
Universal Evolution we know of.
I was a mountain climber, and I studied the changing mountains. I saw the seas change
the shores. I raised and studied wolves for twenty years, and I researched wolf-dog
hybrids. Hybrids offered fast paced evolution before my very eyes!
We are a tiny speck in an ocean of Universal Evolution! Thank you!

I'd expect such as this from creationists...
Dude, you called real scientists (of which there are a few on this site) "egg-headed", if you can criticize with name-calling, surely you can handle substantiated critique of your commentary?
No?
Permalink Reply by Earl H Smith on March 26, 2012 at 11:21am Sorry, I thought "egg head" was a compliment... Anyhow, my final comment: Such
fine "scientists" "speculate" with all of their "math" that a black hole at the center of
our galaxy CAN produce a UNIVERSE equal in size and character to our universe........
Their "speculations" or "ideas" are GLORIOUS, but other persons IDEAS are bunko?
So that's it. I get it! So be it.

Do you have a cite for this?
"Their "speculations" or "ideas" are GLORIOUS, but other persons IDEAS are bunko?"
Scientific speculations are called hypotheses, if they aren't in any way testable, then they aren't scientific hypotheses, just speculations.
The "speculations" using just "math" produced the quantum mechanics theory that allows you to post from a computer, that uses a CPU that wouldn't exist without those egg-heads and their math.
Just sayin'

You could have made an imaginative philosopher 5000 years ago.

You can't expect us to NOT question your "theory". It is ok to have a philosophy...but it isn't science. Where did you GET this stuff??
Permalink Reply by Earl H Smith on March 27, 2012 at 11:26am I never got a chance to tell you folks that I'm not a "scientist". I never got a chance to tell you that
I'm a mere, lowly, mortal writer who had a few ideas... You instead jumped my ass full force as if I
were an errant wanna-be "scientist" who needed discipline. Of course I shot back... I don't have
time to be treated that way; I have a new book to write, and I'm working on it (fiction only). I have
to work! So, if anyone wants to see how I explain any of these matters, he/she can get the book
and read it. In it I explain that I'm not a PhD, etc. Thank you for your kindness. EHS

If you can toughen up to the criticism of your ideas - you can also gain much insight from some. There is no shelter from reality here. There is no hiding from facing yourself or your context. There is a lack compassion, humility and kindness at times.

care what those people think. I'm perfectly secure in what I do and how I do it. As a matter of
fact, I just started a new book, Suzie The Pig, and the first thing I did in it was to describe certain
matters. All in fun of course since the book is humor, however dry. I'm just having fun! So,
thanks Alice. E H S

Not even for Objectivists...
