It must be easier to just keep asserting that than it is to actually demonstrate it, eh?

Oh? There's no cosmic background radiation, or redshift, or universal expansion or all that other evidence for the big bang?

Or are you just talking about the non-claim that the big bang doesn't exhibit any sign of having a god behind it? Because that's not a claim that requires evidence; it's an admission that beyond the planck time we don't know what happened yet. You are the only one making a claim here.
Quote: So you have one kind of belief and a different kind of belief both of which fit into our knowledge of the universe/science just fine. I'd say God is the better fit but you don't have to agree, you just have to know the score.
"Ooh, it's all just opinion!"

No, it's actually not. One side has actual evidence, and is willing to stop at the edge of our knowledge pending further investigation. Yours is claiming that magic was involved despite having no evidence of that at all, and no interest in investigating to find it before making those claims.
Quote:I don't see how science is meant to discover the meaning/purpose of life and reason for existence.
Well, you heard the man:
A god of the gaps argument supported by the classic argument from ignorance.
