Kind of funny a Theist would post a sign like that, seing as how a Catholic priest came up with the theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Le...ected=true
I know you're not genuine and all that, but this does need addressing. Yes, Georges Lemaître was a catholic priest, and yes he proposed what became the Big Bang theory. What he didn't do was propose it in his capacity as a priest, but as a cosmologist and in response to - you'll love this - the evidence that the Universe is expanding. The great radio and film comedian Will Hay was also a well-respected amateur astronomer known for his many discoveries, but he didn’t make them wearing his figurative comedian hat. Strangely enough, it turns out that people are multifaceted animals.
If you actually read up on the history of the Big Bang model, as distinct from creationist websites or even wikipedia, you'll learn that it's filled with colourful and fascinating characters like Lemaître. I recommend Simon Singh's book Big Bang: the Most Important Scientific Discovery of all Time and why You Need to Know about it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
