One of the things I didn't miss in your absence is "ignorance" having one more champion.
Not many people are saying it's right around the corner. some are - but not many. Whatever their beliefs, people like drama, it seems... take a look at this thread, for example.
The current theory is a model built steadily over the last 25 years, and involves the concept of "geological time."
If the existence of the universe could be expressed in the life of a 35-year-old man... the Big Bang happened when he was born, the solar system formed when he was in his teens... the earth formed (start of geological time) when he was at about drinking age... and the earliest humans started walking the earth a month ago... and Jesus Christ was born (?) late yesterday. Wrap your head around that one for a bit, and I'll try to remember to this this thread up later tonight before I hit the sack.
