Apparently you folks get your science education from Wikipedia.

[Krimel]
While I did not acquire my education there I frequently offer it up as a
concise summary. In this instance it seemed a good start and I continue to
recommend it. Particularly in light of the article you present. Nowhere in
the article does it hint that the big bang was an explosion requiring fuel
and heat and energy. While the problems your author speaks about are
certainly the subject of debate, they are nothing to compared to the
problems with your notion of divine essential absolute whatever.

[Platt]
Someone suggested we should inform ourselves by reading the explanation of
the Big Bang in Wikipedia. Pirsig's observation above apples in spades to
what is written there. 

Of course, I'll get the usual personal attacks about "not haven't the
faintest clue of what you are talking about" and accusations of "quasi-
theological nonsense" from those afflicted with creationphobia. But with
you, Mr. Pirsig and many others forming a "consensus" at my side, I fear no
evil. :-)  

[Krimel]
So you would summarize Pirsig as saying that because regular folks can not
understand something it must be wrong? It is one thing to say you disagee
and provide a reasoned disagreement. But if in your disagreement you show
clear evidence of misunderstanding it is hard to take the disagreement
seriously.
