rvb8, we think that's why they are the Top Five rather than All 500. All deepen the mystery.News_{December 12, 2017

Of course these are just a few of the more well known discoveries, for this particular solar sojurn, of 2017.:) It fails to explain that in the field of evolution, a hell of a lot more was discovered, and published, if you care to check that is. Still, more physical, tangible, supporting evidence, though completely unecessary, is always, always, welcome.:)rvb8_{December 11, 2017
