[dogmashark]

I have 3 students who are totally dead set that the big bang theory is wrong.

NowI get to play careful as not to anger those who may go home and say what an evil person I am to present facts to their students...

Hehe... to bad this is not Biology, I can really do the evolution sopng and dance....

Tell them that if they are that set against it, you want to see their peer reviewed scientific theories providing "proof" of an alternative. Peer review requires at least 3 reviewing scientists of PhD level or higher and all theories or "laws" stated must be derived from ORIGINAL research. Until then, they can SHUT THE FUCK UP and listen to those that know more than they do. Who the FUCK do they think they are to argue with established and knowledgeable scientists.
