Well, first I would ask you to explain what the evolution of humans has to
do at all with the Big Bang. Second I feel I have to point out the
inherent weaknesses with your argument against evolution. Namely, your
analogy is only appropriate if Rolex watches reproduce themselves. Since
they don't, you haven't made a useful comparison. Additionally, evolution
depends on intervention from a little something called natural selection.

Well, no. But do feel free to spend your time as you wish. The Great
Pumpkin should arrive in October so perhaps you'd better mark it on your
calendar.

And thank you for your insightful addition to this thread. It is at least
clear that YOU don't care enough what others think to spend even the least
amount of time to understand what they are talking about.
