Once more we have an attack on science feebly disguised as an
attack on evolution.

If it doesn't know everything, it can't be much good, EH?
If it doesn't have access to ETERNAL Truth, it's primitive, EH?

It is the very nature of science that forbids it (so far) to
make theories about what came before the begining.  There is
no evidence to indicate such, and our present "primitive" understanding
of nature does not let us extend our theories back beyond the
"Big Bang".

The theory of evolution does not try to extend back even so far.
It limits itself to the origin of life o this planet.
