Both involve smashing ...a bat smashing a baseball for a home run, and the smashing together of atoms & a smash hit on TV.

There is an explosion of enthusiasm that fills the air on Opening Day.

Another who shares the claim of once being an inner-city Detroit youth ...is Dr. Ben Carson.  In the prologue of his book, America the Beautiful, he says that as nations begins to decline, they all experience some peculiar similarities:

• too much emphasis on sports and entertainment
• a fixation on the rich and the famous
• political corruption
• loss of a moral compass

As you are enjoying the game, let it also be said, that in a later chapter, he brought attention to the incredible testimony of common goals and desires ...as the explosives racial tensions of 1967, brought harmony to Detroit the following year as the Tigers were about to win the World Series.  

Now for the other big hit ...and the attraction to the intelligent lot.  Let me make clear the contrast between intelligent and wise.  Wisdom is the correct use of knowledge.  And I fail to see the correctness in the Big Bang Theory.  I admit that the show may be witty ...but the theory is rather dim.

Since baseball is at the forefront, let's use that analogy.  We will test the theory in our mind ....since there is no actual way to test this one, we have to somewhat reason it out.  Suppose we take a baseball and a bat, and place them in a vacuum (not a vacuum cleaner, we're talking outer space).  Now, I am giving you evolutionists an advantage from the actual theorized beginning ...because I'm giving you a bat that was at one time, actually alive, as a tree.   How many billions of years do you think it would take for that bat to become alive again?

I can see why people believed in evolution many years ago.  They used to believe in spontaneous generation ...thinking that a living organism could arise out of nonliving matter.  Back then, since they couldn't test sending a baseball bat into space, they could have buried it in the ground.  Sorry, even that once living bat would never sprout again as a tree.  Another tree's seed could sprout from under the bat ....or the bat could rot after a very long time, and insects could suddenly appear on the wood, but that actual bat would never again come alive. Unless, of course, it is Opening Day, and the bats come alive ...like what happened with Bryce Harper of the Nationals.
