Just because Wikipedia says it does not mean it is so. If you look at other Wikipedia pages, such as the timeline starting several billion years ago, you will see that it is partial towards the unscientific theories known as the Big Bang and neo-Darwinism.
[I am sure yu can show how it is unscientific. What is neo-Darwinism, is it like neo-Eisteinism? I am also sure you can show evidence beyond the bible that those scientific theories are indeed not true. ]
Neo-Darwinism is another term for macro-evolution, a theory that claims that dinosaurs, humans, eggplants, and bacteria all share a common ancestor.
Also, how can the entire mass of the universe fit into a volume the size of a speck of dust on my keyboard?

"a theory that claims that dinosaurs, humans, eggplants, and bacteria all share a common ancestor."
Well, that's what the available evidence shows. If you have any evidence to the contrary, please feel free to submit it for biologists and other scientists. Your Nobel Prize awaits.
"how can the entire mass of the universe fit into a volume the size of a speck of dust on my keyboard?"
The fact that you can't understand a concept does not automatically mean it's wrong.
The fact of the matter is that the Big Bang is incredibly hard to study for obvious reasons, so naturally it's theory is comparatively weak compared to something like Evolution, which is not only demonstratively true through both fossil records and experimentation. One cannot recreate the Big Bang in a lab to study, so it's far more difficult to get the details all nailed down.
However, the fact that the theory is still a work in progress (which is practically the definition of all science) does not make it unscientific. It fits with the current evidence. We're discovering new evidence that also fits with it. We don't know all the details YET, but that doesn't make what we do know wrong.
Also, avoiding the question does not help you look smart.
that speck of dust on your keyboard is unimaginably much larger than a singularity, of whatever mass. seriously, you can't imagine the difference in size scale. your human brain isn't wired for it.
what *i* can't wrap my head around is how a singularity could ever explode. yet the best evidence we've got seems to indicate that one *did*, and the universe is by no means limited by my meagre imagination.
How could a God exist in Nothingness?
I won't listen because myth believers are not qualified to be the framers of speculative sciences in any way but I'm sure you'll trip all over your logic centres trying to tell us what Hovind or Craig say we Atheists or scientists think.
You're right; just because Wikipedia says something does not mean it is so. Wikipedia is made by its users and we can pretty much enter anything we want. Someone else might correct that later on, of course, but if no-one spots it, it can be there for a while.
If you want info about Earth and the Universe, you ought to check out scientific books from a library, dearie. Then you'd know that it's "Intelligent Design" that 's unscientific and not the Big Bang Theory and Theory of Evolution.
Neo-Darwinism is " the "modern synthesis" of Darwinian evolution through natural selection with Mendelian genetics", according to Wikipedia. There is nothing there about macro or micro, as that is merely different scales of the same thing.
That speck of dust on your keyboard probably contains more intelligent life than your brain does.

So does that mean eggplant parmesan is an offshoot of humans too?
Scientists and college professors don't rely on Wikipedia to understand evolution. Wikipedia is just for the common layman like you and me.
Of course you're probably one of those "Wikipedia has a liberal bias because it says stuff I disagree with" people.
how can the entire mass of the universe fit into a volume the size of a speck of dust on my keyboard?
What does that have to do with whether dinosaurs, humans, eggplants, and bacteria all share a common ancestor? Besides, if the entire universe suddenly shrank to a trillionth of its current size, how would you know? All your rulers would shrink, too!
++"Just because Wikipedia says it does not mean it is so."
The same applies to your bible. Wikipedia, however, is corrected as mistakes are discovered. The same cannot be said for your storybook.
++"unscientific theories known as the Big Bang and neo-Darwinism."
I'd say you lost all credibility at this point if I was foolish enough to ascribe any to you in the first place.
++"Also, how can the entire mass of the universe fit into a volume the size of a speck of dust on my keyboard?"
How can an all-knowing, all-seeing, all-encompassing, all-powerful being with no beginning that lives beyond time & space exist? You don't get to use incredulity as an argument when your own assertion is infinitely more incredible.
And what the fuck does that even have to do with evolution?
Just because Wikipedia says it does not mean it is so.
Funny thing, thats what we keep saying about the Bible.
> Also, how can the entire mass of the universe fit into a volume the size of a speck of dust on my keyboard?
Through the POWAR OF GOD!
"Also, how can the entire mass of the universe fit into a volume the size of a speck of dust on my keyboard?"
How can an entity so amazing it can create a universe out of nothing just appear from nothing?
"Neo-Darwinism is another term for macro-evolution, a theory that claims that dinosaurs, humans, eggplants, and bacteria all share a common ancestor."
Sorry, you're wrong. The definition of "macroevolution" as used in the bilogical sciences is instead "any evolutionary change ocurring at or above the taxonomic level of the species (e.g., speciation and extinction events)" [as per the Biotech Life Sciences Dictionary].
You're conflating this with the Common Descent, the theory that all living organisms share a common ancestry.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
