But it is important. It proves evolution. If we lived in a world with a god like in the bible, we would never be angry. We live in a world were other animals can take your life without any justice for you. So we have evolved to defend ourselves. If anyone takes away anything that is ours, and the one thing we own the most is our ego, we will fight them, and stop them. The first step is anger.
So the previous line of posts has just exemplified the creationist stance. A U.S. Gallup poll on views about origin of species found that 80% of respondents questioned thought they were informed about evolution. 50% of the same respondents believe in Creationism, and 40% believe evolution has no evidence.
Basically ignorant arrogant bliss.

The "Cyclic model theory," that the Universe begins and dies in a endless cycle... It's a possibility right? Maybe it is eternal, who knows?
If I knew the answer, i'd be a rich man... It's beyond my capacity no doubt. It may be beyond mankinds capacity to explain(although we'll keep trying.) If you compare us to the size and scope of the Universe, we're rather trivial. That's why religion/creationism has stuck around so long, it provides an answer; although, it's a really weak one.
The older theory of the universe slowing it's expansion to a halt and then contracting back into singularity, to once again renew itself is less popular these days. Investigation of Type 1a supernovae suggests the universe is actually accelerating, and rather than end in a Big Crunch it will end in a Big Rip. Universal expansion will weaken the fundamental forces to the point that everything is essentially torn apart.

Its not the answer...its the meaning.

That's the power of destruction at its finest. 😈

I'm going to take a leap of faith and say that this is micro-evolution rather than macro-evolution.
It does not matter; there is no true separation of micro-evolution & macro-evolution. Evolution maybe expressed in ways that divide it into subgroups, but this is only man's way of categorizing something that is extremely complex. Evolution does not always divide in that way.
