Right. Got it. As opposed to - what? A timeless, spaceless über-scientist who magically wished the Universe into being and has a personal interest in the bedroom habits of one group of jumped-up apes living on one infinitesimal speck of rock lost in the immense wastes of that Universe, yet made it all appear as though it didn't have or need a Creator?
One of these things is not like the other.
ALTER2EGO -to- STIMBO:
What you're not willing to acknowledge is that Big Bang is nothing more than a theory aka "a group of hypotheses that can be disproven." Big Bang theory is simply expansion of space. It cannot explain what caused thousands of planets to appear, each with their own gravitational pull that keeps them within their individual orbit so that the planets do not crash into each other.
The spontaneous expansion of space for no logical reason does not explain the precision in these planets in their relationship to each other. For that matter, no scientist can explain what triggered the Big Bang from the get-go.
The evidence that you speak of amounts to speculations as scientists attempt to explain why things are as they are in the universe. They don't know why, so they speculate. If they knew, the term Big Bang would have dropped the word "theory."
