it's created just the way it is now
Absolutely no evolution! what would your children become if we evolved? Just a piece of brain maybe.... cause u don't need other parts on your body anymore....

- re:
  That's not how evolution works. Your children will never "become" anything. New species BRANCH OFF from existing species, creating two that exist simultaneously. One or the other might disappear for other reasons, if it can't survive.
  
  Nothing was created as it is now. All life descended from other life, and no aspect of that fact contradicts religion. Even Darwin believed in God for most of his life after his discoveries.

I call BS.
The temperature of the sun, at its core, is around 15 million degrees Centigrade. If simple collapsing bubbles created that much heat, we'd long since have cheap fusion power. As a matter of fact, those pistol shrimp would create a nuclear fusion reaction every time they snapped their claws--there's plenty of fusible hydrogen in that water.

- I'd agree with you...
  except I found this: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v413/n6855/abs/413477a0.html
  Nature is not some little fly by night magazine, so I have to suspect they know what they are talking about.

- Pay attention and get your Facts
  If you actually listened to the video, you would hear that he said the surface of the sun. But thats beside the point. While it may sound strange, this is actually possible, and scientists have been able to replicate this phenomenon, to a degree. Its not nearly as explosive though. Nature does sonoluminescence better.

  ....what? What's "gay" about posting amazing, fascinating videos about science and nature? They're the most worthwhile videos anybody with a brain would be watching. I don't even want to know what you consider a "good" video, I might die laughing.
