Appeal for help (But the real question: is there a Racnoss ship in the center of the Earth?)
Two papers down. They took a lot out of me apparently-my incentive for finishing the second last night was to settle down with wine and popcorn and watch Stargate, but I hadn't finished the wine or half the episode before I fell asleep on the couch.
The current paper is on the Big Bang. The student starts off, "Thanks to scientists research, we know that our world started one precise time in the past..." and says he's going to explain the "born" of the universe. And I'm stuck on the first sentence. Am I going to ask him to make his language more equivocal? Should he say that we believe our world started with a Big Bang?
I'm afraid my question may be a product of my journalism training and especially growing up in an environment where I was taught to refer to all non-Creation science as theory and encouraged to read "science" books that attempted to debunk evolution. I guess I just don't know exactly how this is done in scientific or just general academic circles. We didn't actually observe the Big Bang, but then, we didn't personally observe dinosaurs either. What kind of language do we use for it? Thanks, if you can help me!
