Did I not clarify that I did not believe in the BB? when I say before, I mean the 13.7 Billion year timeline (also ridiculous) that they've given the universe.
-and I believe you are sincere, but probably wrong. Unless of course you happen to have a better explanation based on the available evidence. (apart from God-did-it)
To dismiss an argument simply on the grounds that it is ridiculous without saying WHY it is ridiculous is called an argument from incredulity ,aka argument from lack of imagination.
What the person is actually saying is "I'm too ignorant,too lacking in imagination or too stupid to think of anything else ,therefore god/aliens did it." Of course many of the dogmatic apologists we get here are all three.
The term 'big bang"is a term invented by the media,not physicists;there was no 'explosion'.

Quote:The Big Bang model is the prevailing cosmological theory of the early development of the universe.[1] The major feature of the Big Bang theory is that the universe was once in an extremely hot and dense state that expanded rapidly (a "Big Bang"). This rapid expansion caused the young universe to cool and resulted in its present continuously expanding state. According to recent measurements, scientific evidence, and observations,[2][3] the original state happened around 13.7 billion years ago (see age of the Universe),[4][5] which can be referred to as the time that the Big Bang occurred.[6][7]
