As I said above, "I will accept it with an open mind because it is science but as I said earlier, I'm no scientist so there obviously is no way for me to go and verify the facts myself." My answer still stands.

Interesting. I take it, then, the problem is that, despite the astounding scope and strength of the evidence, science has been unable to produce what you consider infallible evidence. Please forgive my incredulous tone; I am passionate about and fascinated by cosmology and astrophysics, two of my favourite arenas of science that I have an insatiable appetite for reading about. So I'm just a little bit dumbfounded that not even this area of science, despite the robust mathematics and extensive observational evidence that supports it, they still have not been able to produce what you would consider "absolutely trustworthy" evidence whereby you could say in a public forum, "I believe X."

So tell me, Retorth, what infallible or "absolutely trustworthy" evidence looks like. Because right now it seems you're confirming my earlier suspicion that you don't even know what you are talking about. It seems not even the likes of Einstein and Hawking can attain the standard you set, so tell me what infallible evidence looks like. What is it you need in order to confidently say in a public forum, "I believe X" (such as the universe being 13.7 billion years old).
