Conversely, if science is a reliable tool for understanding how the universe works, then particles-to-people evolution cannot be true.
A few days ago, the New Horizon’s spacecraft flew past the small trans-Neptunian object, 2014 MU69. At a distance of over 4 billion miles from earth, MU69 is the most distant object ever visited by a manmade instrument.
