Christians. Could you be wrong?

Why I think this is because we have all sinned against God and therefore without Jesus we cannot be with God who is holy.

Well in that case how do you define holy?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I define holy as being cleansed of sin.

The Bible isn't the evidence. The Bible is the claim (actually, a large collection of claims), which needs evidence to support it (them) before it's reasonable to believe it (them).

It certainly means they used to be closer together, you don't need any math at all to get that.

Actually it was much more like a very fast expansion than an explosion. The explosion version is the dumbed-down one. The term 'Big Bang' was originally coined to ridicule the idea, but it stuck, even though the idea became better and better supported.

And it's not just the planets moving apart, it's galaxies, because space itself is still expanding.

Your god is a nice one. He gave us the ability to sin... But no ability to cleanse ourselves.

And before you say 'but jesus'... My moral code does not endorse scapegoating as a solution.

So if we were to create life 'from scratch' in a laboratory, how would that impact your beliefs?

Has life been made from stratch in a lab?

If it did happen it would actually strengthen my beliefs because it shows an outside involvement creating he life, it wouldn't prove life happening by chance.

Wow. So you're using the fact that something hasn't happened as evidence for your belief, but then if it were to happen, it would STILL be evidence for your belief. This is how you play tennis without the net.

Would you feel okay punishing said life because it doesn't live up to your expectations?

Hinduism claims Vishnu did it nine times, the last one being the Buddha.

It doesn't say in the Bible that aliens were made, therefore ot means aliens don't exist or they are just not mentioned in the creation story.

The Bible doesn't mention bacteria being made, either. It only mentions organisms the people who wrote it could observe at the time...plus unicorns, dragons, leviathans, behemoths, and, I think, basilisks.

That is why I said I am not sure if aliens do or don't exist.

All I said is that the Big Bang theory states life can around ny chance. Therefore if it was created in a lab it was not due to chance.
