That's why Hovind has the reputation he deserves, and why there's a scale of creationist scientific illiteracy named after him. Evolution is not the origin of anything. The clue is in the name.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

First, who believes in "The Big Bang" theory?
Let's play this a bit differently: you tell me succinctly what you think the scientific consensus concerning big bang theory is so I know you are adequately informed about the subject, and then I tell you whether I subscribe to it.

That sounds eminently fair. And I trust that any answers forthcoming are not going to be cribbed from AiG, christiananswers.net, or the like, yes?

That's silly - how can an explosion create anything? And what about the aliens who would have been killed in the blast?
