Oh, fuck off, chippy.
Here's the difference. I know that were I not too lazy I could attend a university and get a degree in astrophysics which would enable me to fully understand the BB theory. As it is, I can listen to Neil De Grasse Tyson and others and get an inkling of what they are talking about I could do more if I wished. You see, they offer evidence.
OTOH, I could study your fucking bible in a divinity school and learn nothing except ancient superstition which is insufficient to teach much of anything. You offer bullshit.
WHAT EVIDENCE? The best any here has come up with is the theory of relativity which isn't any evidence at all. They're unrelated only connected because the BB theory uses that theory to explain a few things. Everyone says evidence but none has been brought up.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
