Hi, gang.

I grew up in New York City but have lived in Los Angeles, where I work as a programmer, for the past ten years. Raised in a Christian household, I rejected Jehovah and all his works while in (Catholic) high school.

While I'd condemned democracy long ago, I only recently resolved to never vote again. It took twenty-two years and the realization that none of my votes has ever contributed to an electoral victory (LOL)!

I have a bachelor's degree in physics and went to graduate school in that field for a couple of years before giving it up to make money. I remain skeptical about a number of things passed off as science, including macroevolution, global warming, the Big Bang, dark matter and (our nonexistent god help us!) dark energy. People have asked me for alternative explanations, which I don't feel obligated to provide, so I have grown (perhaps overly) comfortable with the sentence, "I don't know, and neither do you".

I look forward to joining the conversation here.

Welcome! I have felt similar skepticism about some of the things scientists claim happen in our universe, although I maintain that phenomenon like galactic redshift and cosmic microwave background radiation seem plausible. I'm not so sure about a big bang, but... it's an intriguing theory. At this point I'm resigned to believing whatever truth I can uncover myself. If a big bang is the truth, so be it.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the forums! I think you may be able to find discussions here on these very topics.
