Write your reply.

assistant: Andrew Cummins on "Space, Time, & Energy- B" with me...
Like I said, "you would have to provide evidence that they are actually
gravitationally bound".
Explain their redshifts then.
Explain their redshifts then.
I don't know of one to search. Perhaps you could reproduce it for us?
Don't lie Andrew. Your agenda, and you, are well known. Don't pretend you're
on some moral crusade.
You can't. Simple as that. It does not exist.
As I said before, go read a science book.

I've never been clear on what Big Bangers believe as they seem to always
change their claims based on the evidence that they're trying to avoid.  But,
it seems popular to believe that there wasn't anything close to enough
gravity to hold things together (obviously, the mass of the universe is less
than that of a Black Hole).

Who are you lying for Andy-Bob? Yourself or your god? I know its for
yourself, but you think it's for your god, but your god doesn't like liars
Andy-Bob, even if they do it in his name. Either way you're damned.
And, guess what Andy-Bob? You're still talking crap. In fact, this is made
more hilarious by the fact that you think that BB theory is part of Evolution
theory - two separate disciplines.
