The accepted wisdom on the formation of ours and most solar systems is that interstellar gas builds up in a swirling vortex in certain areas

"Swirling vortex", huh? And who's "accepted wisdom" might that be then? :-)

Think of the sun as an hourglass. Hydrogen converts to helium at a certain rate just as the sand flows through the neck of the hourglass at a certain rate. Does it make sense that an "intelligent designer" would create the hourglass with a third of the sand in the bottom of the glass already? I don't think so.

Utter tripe. "Think of the sun as an hourglass" my arse. And the rest. Mind you, you do have a wonderful imagination.

But I also know that varying degrees of web feet are common enough in humans that I have met several people born with that trait. It seems obvious to me that the trait is in the human gene pool already. Should it become somehow a useful trait, it would be a lot more likely that the trait would arise in the population from the existing gene pool rather than through random mutation. Who knows? maybe these people are finding each other as we speak and breeding a whole new generation of Olympic swimmers.

Rather than simply barking "gibberish." Maybe science expert Mr. Shaw would like to weigh in on this theory of mine...

Well I certainly wouldn't accord it the dignity of a "theory". Fantasy or whimsy, perhaps. Wacko, dear fellow, you really do need to stop digging yourself into a massive hole with this silly webbed-feet nonsense. You betray an elemental lack of understanding of genetics every time you bring it up. I'd love to ask you to cease and desist, but, dammit, it's so bloody entertaining...

And well said, Michael, before I forget.
