The evidence and testimony about the happening and details of my birth are much, much, much stronger than any evidence about the theoretical beginning of the universe. Especially the testimony part.
I don't agree ... virtually all the information we have past a certain point is indirect and that was my point. You rely on the word of others, photos/videos and comparative material for evidence of your natural birth ... most (if not all of that) could be faked (I accept it is highly unlikely).

I think there are some people out there, some scientists, who have a very good idea of how the universe formed ... they may not know the reason why or what happened at the precise moment of it's birth but most of the stuff after that yeah sure ... I think it safe to say they have a fair idea.
