Panspermia is the only viable theory for the origin of life.

The steady state theory is the only one that makes sense of the observations.

The age of the universe is not 10 or 20 billion years, but infinite.

Black holes do not exist.

The anthropic principle is a load of rubbish.

Life on Earth came from space.

The universe is a creation of intelligence.

Science is not a sacred cow.

I am an atheist for cosmic design.

The Big Bang is a myth invented to avoid creation.

Stars are the crucibles where elements are forged.

The Milky Way is our home galaxy, but not the only one.

Quasars are not distant; they are local.

The universe expands, but matter is continuously created.

I regret coining the term Big Bang; it was a joke.
